Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4192442, member: 2117"] I didn't talk about UCONN last year because you specifically cited last season, not this season when you said: "You don’t know what you are talking about. UConn was a team and had very well balanced scoring last year. Paige averaged 20 ppg but CW was right behind her at 16.5 ppg, Ono averaged 12 ppg, and EW averaged 10 ppg IIRC. Iowa or even DePaul doesn’t come close to that kind of scoring spread, both are one player teams and their WL records reflect that, this year or last year." If you look at Iowa stats this year, you're nuts if you can conclude theyre a 1 man team. They literally have another player who is top 20 in the country in PPG, and a third player in double figures. And all of those players cited were recruited 20+ years ago. Have any other more current examples? I'll give you Makurat, but she essentially played 1 season and transferred when it was clear she was pushed down on the depth chart. Id also say "diamond" is a generous term too considering her impact. Even if you count her, 1 player in 20 years doesn't validate that claim IMO. And in no way shape or form can you call a top 5 blue chip recruit a "diamond in the rough." Is she performing better than expected? Absolutely. Is she a "diamond in the rough?" Not at all. [/QUOTE]
