Message: [QUOTE="PhillyCoach, post: 1992129, member: 6136"] IMHO many of us posters came up with a loss of two-- not so much from saying we have less talent and depth--but observing 6-8 teams loaded with talented returning starters (more than UConn), gaining elite transfers who were becoming eligible, and recruiting 24 out of the top 25 players in the country (we got CD, the super 8 teams got many of the rest.) Simply put, IMO, we over estimated the productivity and effectiveness of these 8 loaded teams. Those elite 8 teams did not come through and UConn as a team over compensated to our surprise--even Geno was surprised. This just solidifies Geno's bottom line----the 5 top AA recruits playing for a certain school will not beat the BEST TEAM. [/QUOTE]
