Crystal Ball?

you guys are going to get good players. Ollie is a great coach. Sometime I wish our fans would stop second guessing a Pastner on recruiting. Guy has landed a top 15 class in 2015 and top 5 for 2016 but our fans still second guess him. Ollie will get UConn a class this year that will bring you many wins for the future.

As a diehard UCONN fan and alum, I am surprised to hear that Memphis fans question Pastner as I think he is GREAT for that school / program. Keeps the team Top 25 nationally and gets a TON of good - really good players. With him at the helm, Memphis will continue to be really good for a long-time.

Memphis is the one other school in AAC that I just don't worry about being good. I mark them down in PEN that they will be really solid every year. Aside from UCONN and Memphis, the other schools have their ups and downs. We need more consistent success from 4-5 more schols to make the conference solid in MBB.

WWW is.

When you are handing recruits envelopes full of cash, you are a buyer not a seller.

He's busted his nut. Retired. New mojo awaits to be found.

Amen. Something that is suitable for work.

Talk to Deep, he's the tastemaker. I just promote the fashion of the moment! : )

You obviously are implying suitable for all work places. The EU includes prostitution in it's reports about the economy.

I don't know what's worse (not worst). That I got a conscious connection to a Linda Lovelace movie from your statement or you had a subconscious connection.

The more I read these threads, the more I worry that recruiting is seen here as ammunition while arguing the merits of UCONN against other programs. I honestly don't give a hoot who some high schooler picked over us. Sure, everyone wants UCONN to make every other program look bad, but we recruit to build champions. And I trust KO as a talent evaluator -- he's one of the smartest players to ever wear a Husky uniform, and having over 10 years worth of NBA experience never hurts.

That's one of the reasons we get excited about the guys that he targets as priorities (ie. Stone)...

And Cliff Robinson was on the first UCONN team JC coached. Phenomenal player.

You never saw Cliff play at UConn, did you?

I didn't watch him then, but I've watched the replays of games from then, and between that and the numbers, it's pretty clear he was an excellent player. He wasn't bad just because those teams weren't very good.

That was in response to the 'JC had walkons, soccer players and also-rans to work with in his early years' comment. Would you lump him in that category?

I mean, in his final three years, he did manage to average 18.6pts/7.2rbd/1.5ast/1.3blk/1.2stl. While I'm not saying he was Emeka Okafor, those are really good numbers for any player.

As a part of the report or as an incentive to read it?

Depends, were there lots of pictures included?

 

[ctchamps]

Depends, were there lots of pictures included?

The French get a report with pictures titled "OOH LA LA!
The British get a report with pictures deleted and the lyrics "Imagine All The People"!
And the Germans get a report that's the worst as in knock knock, who's there!
