Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4260006, member: 504"] Not disagreeing, but it does kinda depend on what “succeed” means. This years team was not going to win an NC with or without Josh Carlton who also had his good games here under Hurley. Everyone is making a big deal over losing in the round of 64 when only UConn fans notice the difference between losing then or in the Sweet Sixteen and even then there would be a bunch of Yarders bitching. A lot of fans can’t even remember who won last year’s NC. Hurley isn’t perfect by a long shot, but on the other hand he had a team weak in jump shooting take 3rd in the BE and into the dance. Maybe that reflects a recruiting issue or getting too excited about bringing in a super athlete whose big weakness is pretty important in hoops. Would Carlton have been a difference maker to our record or tourney success? We’ll never know but I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
