Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4264059, member: 591"] Yes, but I wasn't referencing Rutgers / UConn specifically. Vivian's style against everyone was defense first and a certain amount of what you can call ugly ball (particularly, on offense). And she recruits to athletes that can play that style. Rutgers has always had a decent amount of talent, never (in my opinion) quite elite although some Rutgers fans see things differently. I also felt that, after at least 2011 or so, the talent level was a bit lower and not as deep. Again, many Rutgers fans seem to think the talent level has always been great, but that Vivian has consistently misused them (citing Laney, Copper, etc.'s success in the WNBA). I think the whole thing is complicated, but the 2 peaks of talent were the 1st Final Four - in 2000 and the second in 2007. [/QUOTE]
