If bringing in Mahaney to compete with Solo, Liam to compete with Ross, and bringing back AK to take Stew’s minutes was considered betting on them, what would've been considered the opposite?
Half of the teams in the elite 8 this year had a big time freshman guard outside of the range you stated. Some of them may have been the best player on the team.
Why are you framing it like this when the situation was taking Brea at the cost of Ball leaving which was 100% the right choice.
You seem to be taking this pretty hard. Refusing to accept the general consensus for why he left so why do you think he left?
He's ranked too highly for what you would be getting next year in a player. It had been talked about a ton here by people who watched him. No knock on him and no sour grapes. He could possibly turn into a great player down the road but it would be incredibly surprising if he's a high level player next year.
Not ready for demands of Uconn and the Big East. Good luck!!
Agree completely.
The sooner he figures out the truth the better. Cannot see him ready in anyway for Uconn and the Big East.
Business major late 1960's. We had Foretran which was engineering software. I recall seeing the my first Texas Instrument handheld calculator in the early 70's.
Bro give it up. Your narrative is self soothing. Open up your eyes and look at what’s happening instead of the chocolate factory inside your own head.
They are preparing for the day (that may or may not ever come, by the way) when Auburn and Kentucky will pay more for a Burger Boy to sit on their bench and not play than Creighton or Gonzaga will pay him to start.
You keep pointing to the kid that was brought in to be the starting PG and was quickly relegated to an end of the bench role due to his play as evidence that Hurley does guarantee playing time. It’s quite literally direct evidence against your point.
Auburn had Petiford. Texas Tech’s best player was Christian Anderson who wasn't even top 100. MSU had Jase Richardson. Bama had Phillip Labron.
May not matter anyway as the only AAs that really matter in their frosh year are top 4-5. This year that is kids like Boozer, AJ, DP and Ament. Even then those teams are unlikely to make a ton of noise without strong upperclassmen leading.
Maybe Pitino is onto something not bothering to recruit high school kids.
We're not exactly going the Pitino route, if Adams were to get minutes off the bench this coming year, I'm sure he doesn't decommit.
That's just an insane take, you're gonna try and tell me Liam McNeeley didn't matter for UConn last year? Or Pettiford for Auburn? Or Knueppel for Duke? Or Queen for Maryland? Or Boogie Fland for Arkansas? The list goes on and on
A great example is Walter Clayton,Jr. He needed time to develop into the player he became at Florida. He was a 3 star comming out of high school, do you think Adams could produce as a 4/5 star ranked player immediately? Good luck to him and hope that he is willing to be coached for 2 or 3 years if he stays with the school.that he chooses. Pitino, I hate to say it, is onto something, I agree.
Everyone knows how you feel on the topic by now.
Jase Richardson is probably the only one you could make a case for and even he shot 10% from the field in their tournament game vs New Mexico, pretty good postseason otherwise.
There is a lot of Hurley Hatred outside UConn Nation.

Press are basking in the glory of us losing a top recruit. What a joke. He was going to be our 10th guy off the bench at best.
It's wild how you constantly make up stuff to try and prove these ridiculous arguments you keep hammering away at.
