Message: [QUOTE="Matias, post: 3909798, member: 5822"] Bouk did his job. He got us back in the Dance and proved UConn can send talent into the NBA in 2 years or less. That will only attract better prospects going forward. Every program needs these huge upside players with tons of talent that can produce (Lamb, DHam, Drum, Ray, etc), but they almost never have the IQ or leadership skills to lead or coordinate a legit title run. If we want any shot at another title, Hurley will need to produce that next great UConn guard who emerges as a leader after 2 full years yet still flies under the NBA's radar. And that requires a special nuanced blend of scouting, recruitment, and player development that is MUCH harder to arrive at (let alone institutionalize like Calhoun did) than simply convincing top talent prospects to come play at your school.
