Bottomline Conclusion

[Jaker]

Alex, Roscoe and even Chuck could all rebound. Lamb also had length at his position when we won in 2011.

granted, AO and Lamb both had great tourneys

Luckily there won't be a lot of deep teams in the tourney.

Frankly (quite or otherwise) how much game result evidence do we need before the nayseers, who have been proclaiming for the past 2 years - all is ok when it comes to bigs development - for them to say no mas let's do something - status quo, quite frankly, ain't working.

In fairness, you've been saying the same thing for years. Yet we won it all in 2011 and made a Final Four in 2009. And you were harping on it before then.

My introduction of Vaughan into the discussion was apparently my worst ever attempt at sarcasm.

I think everyone knows our front court is very weak. I just disagree that it is Ollie's fault. He has had one year of recruiting and it was when there was a 24 year low in the faith of UCONN's being a major force.
I think we will be fine. It was a mess 2 years ago. It was tough at the beginning of last year when JC resigned and we had to quickly pick a coach and were banned from tournament play.
I think a lot has been done to stop the slide and turn things in the right direction. You seem to expect that we should be there already.

Herbst should show some balls and personally hire Vaughan back.

Lol pretty unlikely wouldn't you say

I am not clear on the evidence of front court improvement on the way. Hopefully, Amida develops. Has not made great improvement this year. I don't see the evidence. To me Nolan has been a disappointment as has Daniels.

True, even though a few of the players are the same there is no way in the world to compare these 2 teams. Lamb was not only a good shooter but he would intercept passes and grab rebounds all the time with those gadget arms of his. That team did not live and die with the 3 either although they could make them. Pitino's quote was "don't let them shoot the 3". We drove inside and turned over 12 times.

Brimah and Facey will be better but Lubin, I hope, will make a big difference. It will be progress, but not were we want to be yet. I think they are holding a scholarship, but for 2014, there is not be better than what we got. If in 2015 they don't bring in a big stud, I'll be complaining with you.
