Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3145482, member: 730"] Well, since the loss I have read every thought possible about the horrid 8 man roster. Now I have to read every over-the-top prediction for the newbies. And when someone with whom I agree adds some sanity to the discussion you try and censor him? I'm all for enjoyment but the recruiting threads have been a trail of tears here until 31 days ago. Suddenly a transfer from Morehead St and/or a guard from Poland neither of whom who I'd wager were know by 5 posters on Jan 1 is/are assumed to be a starter? That's way beyond "enjoying the moment" It's bi-polar!!! Those that were wringing their hands over a possible roster of 8 were a small but active group. I wasn't concerned. UConn won a title (undefeated?) with 8. Not optimum but doable. Geno wasn't concerned. Just a handful of posters here and a few haters on other boards who thought UConn was wounded. Now the other group has arrived. All we have for the 2 Euros are a few interviews, some videos and a few reports from persons who may or may not be hyping things. It's fine to be hopeful. I trust that the coaches know their jobs. But some here see the 2 newbies from Europe as if they were Valkyries, charging over the Atlantic on their magical horses to save UConn from certain doom. Me? I'll be thrilled if the 3 newcomers can manage 50 minutes/game and 25/20/10 between them. I for one never wrote off the 2020 season or the 2020 roster. Even with 8. UConn has been to 12 or so straight final fours and during those years I'd guess that 20+ AA's have left. There is no cause/effect here. [/QUOTE]
