Message: [QUOTE="ABCDFE, post: 5143302, member: 9410"] Listen, I want to be optimistic as the next guy but we talk about championships at UCONN, not final fours. Yes I (we) are that spoiled. It’s like this for all the great dynasties. I think we have the talent this year for sure to compete for a national title but there’s been several years of many unfortunate circumstances that has allowed many other programs to catch up if not pass us. For us to get back to glory we will need more than number one recruits. We need some attitude, we need some nasty and we need some guts. We need players to get fired up like Hidalgo, we need players to go into opposing arenas like Trae young does when he goes to Madison Square Garden and basically rip out their hearts, we need the players that have uber confidence and a killa instinct that instills fear every time they touch the ball. Like when MJ played for the bulls. I know it’s not what Geno and CD preach but too many times we are on the short end of the stick from the refs and I know we want to play beautiful basketball and position less basketball and do thing the the John Wooden way, but sometime you just have to be physical and force the aggression on the opponent. Make the job hard on the refs to not call a foul on the opposing player by going time and time again to the rim to initiate contact. This Give us more opportunities to get to the foul line. Cause more pressure on the opposing teams best players by making them guard you hard for the whole game. Maybe get them in foul trouble. I’m rambling but in the past our pure talent was a let hide these other issues like refs and fouls. Bit times have changed. Our margins are slimmer, other programs are getting better. We need to find other ways to beat teams. And it starts with the type of players we recruit. I would like a mix of the Steph Curry’s and Charles Oakleys on our team. [/QUOTE]
