Interesting article for people who follow recruiting. The writer shadowed a head coach from a mid-major on the recruiting trail. Not really a look into the way UConn recruits, but I thought it was interesting and figured I'd post it.
Anyway, our coach points out that one target is the son of a former fairly good college player.
"I guess [he] played like trash yesterday," our coach says, relying on the word of his assistant, who was here then but isn't here now. "He's one of those guys, if he plays well I won't be able to get him, and if he doesn't play well, I won't want him."
The plight of a mid-major.
