Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5121596, member: 9355"] Exactly. It's why I did not take offense like some when UConn was not ranked #1 at the beginning of the year. Maybe they should be just out of respect, I don't know, but losing.... 1) a high impact center that is doing well in the NBA 2) arguably the best freshman in the country also doing well in the NBA 3) the Bob Cousy Award winner for best PG in the country, First Team All American, First Team all Big East, Final Four MOP, and Big East Tournament MOP that was drafted in the 2nd round and doing well in the G League 4) a top 5 transfer in the country and First Team all Big East that was drafted in the 2nd round and doing well in the G League ...is simply not going to be replaced. Making the Final Four is incredibly difficult. Winning a national championship is even more difficult. Winning the national championship with the biggest point differential ever for the NCAAT is all time great kind of stuff. Expecting to pick up right where they left off or for them to be better should not be expected or the goal and even Hurley said as much as he stated patience will be needed. Edit: Cam has been injured for most of G League with an ankle injury. I was going off Summer League performance. In any case, he will do well when he returns. [/QUOTE]
