What I don't get, is if not UConn why PC? If this kid is good why doesn't he have other top programs on him. I don't get it. As far as Ledo and Dunn, they didn't want Lego due to his bagage and character. They liked Dunn, but didn't go hard after him and played a position that was not one of great need. By the time they realized how good he was, they fell behind and props to Cooley for winning that recruiting battle.
Now we can't blame the sinking BE on this one since he's choosing a program that has no options but to go down with the ship. Maybe it was simply oportunity thing going on here where he wants to play PG and it's less crowded at that position at PC.
With all that said, Manuel not giving KO and multi-year contract certainly isn't helping. We have to face it, until KO gets that extension we're not going to get anyone. Let's hope UConn continues to surprise us, maybe we find we're ACC bound and there's some solid talent still on the board next spring so that the program isn't set back a few years due to poor recruiting. I'd be remiss, if I didn't say I'm still pissed at Manuel for sticking his head up his ass, putting his pride over what's best for UConn. As AD he's supposed to make decisions that are in the best interest of UConn. I can't see how what he's going fits that.
Hopefully we get a nice W tonight to get me out of this pisser of a mood. It's not that I wanted Austin all that badly. It's just missing out on another recruit that's got me all pissed off.
