Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4284527, member: 11664"] I don't believe that there's been any drought of NC's for UConn. Just because UConn may have had an accelerated rate of winning NC's doesn't mean that there's now a drought. Since UConn was blamed for ruining the game, the WCBB world has undergone a series of paradigm shifts and rule changes. Including the transfer rules and transfer portal, and how games are played and officiated. Some might argue that stars are born while others might say that stars are made. and maybe neither is wrong. Maybe UConn fans have become addicted by winning so many NC's that it has become the only measurement of success that they know, instead of acknowledging that maybe they were the result of a combination of both luck & excellence. Trying to identify & recruit the players that can make a difference is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. That along with all of the other variables that enter into the equation of winning a NC amounts to being somewhat of a miracle. While every team including UConn may try to turn winning into a science, it's probably more of an art form. Winning artists are not simply a quantity that can be discovered, but more of a quality that needs to be nurtured until their work is ready to be hatched. For right now, folks should appreciate the continued miracle of UConn's 14 straight FF appearances. We won't know which UConn team will be NC #12 until after it actually happens. Obviously that won't be any sooner than many fans expected, all we can do is to wait for the miracle to happen. It's said that a watched pot never boils, but it always boils at the right time.
