Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 2682249, member: 7415"] Really impressed with this coaching staff. Excellent mix of veteran coaches with overlapping strengths and dynamism. Hurley being the best decision, and now his first moves also being first class hires. Someone else stated that we're going to have the middle and upper eastern seaboard locked up for recruiting. I don't know about all that, but I am convinced that we are once again one of the major players in these regions. Our coaching staff and recruiting potential has risen exponentially, and we suddenly don't look like the shell of our former championship brand. Players are going to want to play for these coaches, for this national brand that is UConn, especially once we start winning, which being a die hard fan, I have to believe is soon to follow. People have made comparisons to Gonzaga; that if we are winning, our conference doesn't matter so much, our brand will carry us. There is some truth to this, for sure. The American does hurt our recruiting some, but if we were winning the conference and also scheduling more top twenty programs, our recruiting would not suffer nearly so much. The conference itself is getting better year by year; hopefully these great and positive changes that UConn Nation has undertaken will pave the way for a hungry Danny Hurley and his very excellent coaching staff, to rise to the top of this conference, returning UConn to it's championship culture and winning ways.
