Message: [QUOTE="Crank, post: 3110886, member: 9692"] My Last Post on CV (in this thread!) People saying 3 years of hot garbage is related to CV playing a lot of minutes. Well, okay, if the point is his minutes were indicative of a dearth of talent, which was the ultimate source of our record. Sure, but don't fault CV for the results - the man absolutely did his part, and he did it better than anybody else in the program before the arrival of Dan Hurley. Of all the factors going into the last 3 years, CV should be last on the "who to blame" list. Before Dan Hurley, the only things you could count on for UConn were KO sucking big crap and CV giving 100% every minute of every game. J. Adams would take days off. 2 handfuls of players underperformed. A bunch of guys just flat quit. Day in, day out, CV gave it everything he had, no compromises. He did was he was asked to do. Never a bad tweet. Never wavered. Was the first player to show support for Hurley. No off-the-court drama. Got benched late this year and never said boo. Just came out and gave it his all. Has played with hot garbage all around him, little on no talent, a vacant coach, with very little scoring help. His numbers this year were . . . highest 3P%, 2nd Highest free throw %, the same or fewer TOs than AG and JA, led the team in steals, tied for 3/4 for assists, 2nd in rebounds behind the center, 2nd in scoring, and 1st in MPG. CV could absolutely be a starter an a UConn tourni team, if not a FF team. You want to lay blame for why the team has been crap, after KO, start with AG, who shot 33 from 3 and 38% overall. Yuck. Also, not his fault, but he's been unavailable for most of the time he's been here. But he gets a pass, because we all think and hope he can be great. And if you're going to say CV's numbers are inflated because of the competition, then what are going to say about AG? Alright CV, that's all I got for now. If you read this (unlikely, I know), I need a small favor. A lot of guys have already closed the book on your career at UConn, even if you return next year. Come back, dude - with your work ethic and Hurley's coaching, and the departure of JA, and the introduction of fresh talent . . . you can have a memorable year. [/QUOTE]
