Here's the issue. Austin was not a priority and while there is no doubt that Abu is, he is one of quite a few TOP players at that position for UConn. So while yes KO and staff are all in, they aren't as ALL IN as Cooley. He has very little if any looks from other top PF's in the 1-100 rankings while the same can't be said for UConn. I'm in, I don't want to lose him. But you may get him and we may end up with a player who is better anyway. You can't say that!!!!!!!
You're the type of poster I created this thread for. Austin wasn't a priority is a load of crap. Just like Chukwu isnt a priority bc he is looking elsewhere.
For the record, PC is involved with other top PFs. IMHO, Abu is the most talented of the bunch.
