Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 4030841, member: 489"] Better “potential” players or better players? Hate to say Perno was much worst than Ollie and while Cliff and Phil were obviously good players they became the players they were only because of JC. Same would go for Jeff King and the incoming frosh like Tate. Besselink got better finished his career very well under JC. And the 2 of his best having academic issues and him needing to play Economou and others way too much didn’t leave him with 3 great years. Add to that it was all up to JC to create the atmosphere for recruits to want to come to UConn, no history whatsoever. While Danny’s been solid and recruiting has been really trending upwards he was left some decent players and also the banners, facilities are a ton better than the Field House. There’s no comparison to me. Having said all that many others have hit on the same things I think. I’m extremely happy we have Dan Hurley. He’s a breath of fresh air in his passion for the program and he has a great focus for the players to be sure they continue to strive to keep getting better. The program is coming back but he also needs to improve some of his ways in the offense and some substitution patterns at times. But overall you can’t be anything but excited for the future of the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
