Message: [QUOTE="Huskymagic, post: 3910804, member: 8007"] You're clearly new to the yard. Everyone on the boneyard knows that I was the harshest and biggest Ollie critic there was. I am not here to defend Ollie. I am glad he is gone because he took us from the mountaintop to Tulsa. That became his legacy. Whaley and Polley were and are two of the better players on our team despite their deficiencies. What does that tell you when you compare them to strictly Hurley recruits. Getting to the NCAA tournament is great, but this is UCONN and with our history, pedigree, resources, brand, etc, it is not that difficult for any average coach to take UCONN to the tournament in year 3. Nate Oats at Alabama and Musselman at a nothing place like Arkansas are doing well immediately getting high seeds in in the tournament as soon as they got the jobs. I like the fact that Hurley has stabilized the program. The fact that you take great pride in making the tournament and getting smacked opening round shows how low the bar and expectations have fallen. Something called an Oral Roberts University is in the Sweet 16. PS: There are warning signs from the constant rebuild narrative mentioned to deflect any and all serious questions, no shooters or great point guards targeted in recruiting, the Akok media situation/explanations, and bad in-game coaching that are concerning. PS: I am the first to sound the alarm bells. Like I did with Ollie. [/QUOTE]
