Message: [QUOTE="UConn_Top_Dog, post: 2499008, member: 2285"] In addition to the above think of this... When Calhoun was coaching he was not recruiting student athletes, he was recruiting pure ATHLETES. With the exception of Emeka Okafor and maybe a few other players mostly from the 90s, most of the players he recuited that resulted in 3 national championships were not very good academically, which ultimately leaded to our low APR scores and the mess KO inherited during the ban. The players that are good students and athletes are few and far between and most of them are are going to schools like Duke. Most of the players KO has recruited have been good students. We have had perfect APR scores and GPAs are higher. He is under pressure to keep APR high because of what happened in Calhoun's latter years. We are essentially recruiting talent wise on an Ivy League level. And on that level Xs and Os are more important than ever. [/QUOTE]
