Catholic schools leaving this year, taking Big East name

We just spent a week of NFL.com and ESPN repeating that UConn brings the talent. And it does, multiple players getting drafted and invited to the biggest events. I know you don't follow football because your school can't field a team, but the fact is, UConn produced more high level talent this year than hundreds of other D1 teams.

Complete and utter BS

Ah, Austin is a thug. That's why your board went into melt down mode when he chose PC

Recurring theme

LaFleur will never go to PC....now he's a stiff, we didn't want him
Dunn is ours....we didn't want him
Ledo is a Husky!...We ne er wanted a potential lottery pick anyway
Austin to Storrs...he's a thug, we don't want him

Do you realize how weak this argument is?

Andre had no role going forward at UConn. It is clear ... and has been from JC's actions ... that Kevin Ollie was the one. That Glenn Miller & Hobbsie are more highly regarded. Your Associate HC was on the way.

If the other 3 make Lottery status, let me know? UConn had the most lottery picks to the NBA since 2006. It is more than one.

LaFleur is a great assistant, but not better than any of UConn's current assistants.
Dunn...ask your own insiders how hard UConn went after him, they agree UConn didn't really
Ledo...has he played yet? Calhoun is averaging 11 per game. I think Ledo is still at zero
Austin, good win, Cooley pumped Ollie's contract situation to his advantage, not dirty but it won't be as easy going forward

Recurring theme- You miss out on the NCAA tournament. Unless 9 years in a row isn't recurring. Thoughts?

Don't you have to accomplish something before you start bragging?
 
I can't wait until March 1, 2014 when PC is a lock and UCONN, despite their 18-8 record will be battling the Misfit 9's weak RPI.

Are you even old enough to remember the last time PC was a "lock"?
 
We should probably give this guy a break- all this discussion of a NCAA tournament bids has him very confused.

LOL. It's great that you guys are excited about being in a conference that is barely better than the "Misfit 9." But your cute little fanbase refuses to acknowledge that Uconn is going to win 20+ games this year and should return all 5 starters next year.

Sorry but your dream of surpassing us (which was also supposed to happen before 2011, which turned out OK for us), is going to have to wait at least another year.
 
Ledo will never play a game for you guys, I've never had a problem with PC but they are completely irrelevant once you leave Atwells Ave.

Look everybody, a PC fan who thinks in the future they are going to be really, really good and we are going to stink. A tradition unlike any other......
 
PC loses 1 starter and brings in a top 50 frosh and a lottery pick...
Returns the BE leading scorer, BE top returning rebounder and one of the conferences top big men

The only thing PC will be a lock for next season is a top 10 Big East finish.

- I don't remember much discussion about whether LaFleur would go to PC, or any discussion of him being a stiff. But he kept getting passed over for opportunities that were given to other UCONN assistants, so based upon our behavior we clearly though he was less valuable than others on the staff.

- We did stop recruiting Dunn.

- You can't seriously believe a school already in academic trouble would pursue Ledo can you? Even Kentucky wouldn't touch him.

- Obviously the thing about Austin is stupid.

If Ledo is truly a lotto pick like you keep saying, then he's gone THIS year. He's already said he's "reviewing his options" when asked if he would ever suit up for PC.

BTW, assuming Napier stays which is pretty likely, UConn loses 0 starters and only one rotation player, a guy who in recent games has barely played. PC could be decent if Ledo plays...but that's a pretty big "if."
 
I have no clue what you are talking about when you say Lafleur won't come. Lafleur was passed over and wanted to be the top assistant so he went to PC. We stopped recruiting Dunn like 4 months before he chose you and yes Ledo won't play a game for you. Dunn even verbalized that UConn hadn't reached out to him in several months.

It wasn't about him being less valuable; everyone here laughed at the notion that he would ever darken PCs door.

You stopped recruiting Dunn BC he wasn't coming; not BC you didn't want him

It's not our problem you couldn't keep your own house in order. PC has its own academic woes; Ledo is worth the risk. If you could have got him you would have.

PC could be decent? Have you paid attention since this team got healthy? Outside of the Syracuse debacle. PC has played everyone tough. Add Ledo into the mix and no one will want a piece of this team next year.

I'll take "statements not remotely connected to reality" for $1000 please Alex.

This makes absolutely no sense. As has been made abundantly clear during the whole conference realignment perception is reality. The name the big east will add value because it reminds people of basketball history (or at the very least it sticks it to the C-7, i mean this is like your grilfriend cheating on you and you giving her a nice long back rub because your best friend really worked her over hard, at a certain point there's just no need to be that cool about it makes you look weak). There is absolutely no reason to sell the name even if everyone that was in the conference leaves.

The name has become so tainted and associated with numerous defections that for the remaining schools, it's viewed as a joke. The lesser of the evils is to be associated with something new..

Your board referred to Andre as "FiFi" when he coached at Uconn and couldn't hang with Keno Davis and crew on the recruiting trail. But of course, now that he's at PC, he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
 
You are so clueless it's not even funny, you clearly don't follow recruiting.

How many teams do the Misfit 8 need to add to make it a respectable basketball conference? No matter, I'm sure the Big Ten is already drafting its invite for UCONN.

You seem to be especially frisky today now that the Mt Rushmore of BE hoops schools are leaving asap.

Talk to me about what happens to UConn's basketball program over the next 10 years compared to Providence's basketball program.
How many 20 win seasons do you see from both, conference championships, sweet 16 advances and beyond.

Also while you're at it tell us who you think will be the head coach for both teams in 10 years. That's an easy question because one of the two coaches calls his current job his home where he wants to coach til he's 60.

Just curious.
