Right, a bit different. One and done’s are always off to the NBA after one year in college.To be fair, that one came be described as an unlikely intersection of, "How true" and "Yeah, but that's different."

Nadov was “persuaded” to return to Israel after one year at UConn.
Add AJax to that listHe and Caron both found it very difficult to leave Storrs no doubt!!!
wow, surprised to see your post Get so many likes but I'm just stating the obvious. you don't see any situation where might be a distraction to the team and might cause some issues with team harmony? I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but if you expect this kid to come in instantly have another championship, then I guess we don't entirely agree.Coming up with a downside to this kid spending a year in Storrs would require a level of creativity that I doubt anyone on this board possses.
Why do you think someone being a great player = team distraction?wow, surprised to see your post Get so many likes but I'm just stating the obvious. you don't see any situation where might be a distraction to the team and might cause some issues with team harmony?

The Drummond year was a disaster -- not Drummond but the season. But there was a whole lot of factors that came together to cause it, including Drummond being a last minute addition to the team, the team returning all frontcourt starters to a national championship team with Drummond playing a role that adversely effected AO, Roscoe Smith and Tyler Olander, and the coach missing part of the season and losing the chance to integrate better.No one has said this. But, on the flip side, you haven't offered a single thing to suggest that he would be a distraction or adversely impact team chemistry beyond the fact that he's really, really freaking good. So your argument essentially boils down to "isn't anyone else concerned about adding this really great, generational talent to our team?" Which is a bad argument.

If Flagg coming in next year was going to materially and adversely affect star players on a team this year that wins a championship, yeah, it might be a problem. Sign me up for that problem. And remember that if we repeat this year, we are likely to have to replace all five starters.
You kind of made my case for me…No one has said this.

Generational talent?
Here we go - all focus on the superstar with other players getting the shaft…
I love what our team did last year…. Imagine that, not top 2 picks

This is surreal I will agree, not to mention people who can’t spell.The last 4 posts nailed it good job. These posters saying getting Flagg could derail the program are nuts with there takes.

Are you actually trying to say that if CF comes to UConn, Dan Hurley would lose control of the team? Do you think you might be selling him kind of short? When Maya Moore came to UConn and said no to Pat Summitt, did Geno have team harmony issues???wow, surprised to see your post Get so many likes but I'm just stating the obvious. you don't see any situation where might be a distraction to the team and might cause some issues with team harmony?

You are sounding really foolish in this argument, my man.
Man if that's your best case I'm sorry I wasted the 90 seconds I spent engaging with you. So he's too good? That's it? I would have loved your posts arguing that it might not be a good idea for Calhoun to take Lebron if he wanted to come to UConn

Summary a bit off…. Anyone really thinking this through realizes that while it would be great to have the kid, it doesn’t guarantee anything and could possible be bit of distraction with the huge PR this kid is getting. But #whatever, hopefully we’ll know soon either way.No one has said this.

I didn’t realize it has turned into an argument… Obviously it touched a nerve. Not all that much to get worked up about… just 2 slightly different views of possible scenarios if we land a superstar…
We're the only fan board I've seen where people are legitimately scared of having too much talent. I would like to think this guy is a one off but he's not.Man if that's your best case I'm sorry I wasted the 90 seconds I spent engaging with you. So he's too good? That's it?

Now we’ve gone to a “neutral party.”No nerve touched here. Just a neutral party pointing out your argument is senseless. There are perfectly good reasons to prefer avoiding top-10 players, and you've made none of them.
They should battle it out with a chicken wing eating contest at Bidwell.I didn’t realize it has turned into an argument… Obviously it touched a nerve. Not all that much to get worked up about… just 2 slightly different views of possible scenarios if we land a superstar…
This debate is moot, since he’s a Providence lock.They should battle it out with a chicken wing eating contest at Bidwell.
Stop.You kind of made my case for me…
