If you ranked our teams from 1989-2015

[UC990411]

would this team be in the bottom 5?

Que the guy who will say, "you would have said the same thing about the 2011 and 2014 teams!"

Did ollie forget how to coach, or are these kids just that untalented?

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Right now probably, but let's wait until the season is done before we rank them. A lot can happen.

or this is a completely new and fairly inexperienced group that needs patience

If we were in the old Big East we'd be under .500 overall. There is patience and there is accepting mediocrity and there is a fine line between the two.

Good one. The thing you forgot to mention is that we've been duck*ing awesome over that time
period. Obviously we're not great this year (to this point), but that's kind of like asking if some supermodel is one of the 5 ugliest supermodels out of 25 supermodels.

And the answer to your other question is we're really young.

You are giving the OP way too much credit to think he even thought about the greatness of the program over that time period.

 

[Yankees32123]

Yes. Because this team is SO young. That's why we're bad.

Yes, I just said that.

@OP:

Cry me a duck*ing river. This happens when you lose your nucleus and reload. Spare me the "But we're UCONN, we're superior and we should never ever experience a year-to-year drop once in a while!" too.

You didn't answer the question though

If Marshawn Lynch doesn't have to answer questions, then neither do I.

 

[Jerry1714]

The answer is no, but when you post "Did ollie forget how to coach, or are these kids just that untalented?" No one takes you seriously.

 

[WlfdHusky]

UC 990411 I think there is room on the Kentucky bandwagon. I'm sorry you are so disappointed by this team and that they are so below your standards.

 

[UC990411]

The answer is no, but when you post "Did ollie forget how to coach, or are these kids just that untalented?" No one takes you seriously.

So which one is it? Because we're going to lose 12+ games vs our weakest schedule in 25+ years.

 

[FartMan69]

We're young but also don't have the talent some of our past younger squads had. For example the 06-07 team was all Frosh and Soph's and IMO would destroy this team.

 

[Yankees32123]

Yes, I just said that.

I don't care…

I was responding to the OP

 

[Tenspro2002]

OK, I'll bite. If we're ranking teams (not seasons), I'll say

1. 2004
2. 1999
3. 2009
4. 2006
5. 1996
6. 1990
7. 1995
8. 1994
9. 2011
10. 1998
11. 2002
12. 2005
13. 2000
14. 2003
15. 2008
16. 2014
17. 1992
18. 2013
19. 1991
20. 2012
21. 2015
22. 1997
23. 2001
24. 1993
25. 2010
26. 2007

Not quite bottom 5 this year, but close.

Incidentally, the last 6 years contain 5 of the worst 11 teams, and only one of the best 10 teams. That's a disturbing trend.

how do you expect a team that lost 4 major pieces it relied on each and every night to instantly figure it out the next year watch teams like Michigan and Florida

 

[David 76]

Yes. Definitely.
So what?

 

[7774]

I don't care…

I was responding to the OP

The OP that made no mention of our team's youth? You're special.

 

[sammydabiz]

I'd say this is one of the worst offensive teams we've ever had (in that time period) but on defense, we're pretty solid, and is the only reason we've remained "respectable" so far this season.

 

[TheDogPound]

OP is a loser

 

[UC990411]

OP is a loser

This team is a loser, and if you can't see it so are you.

 

[Scottzer]

It's not like UConn doesn't have reloading years in which it doesn't make the tournament. This is nothing new for the longer term fan. We don't cry about an off year and we don't suddenly question our UConn bred coach.
