Message: [QUOTE="87Xfer, post: 3600227, member: 10566"] I think this is an interesting read. Some points from the article: "I’ll say it again for dramatic effect: Once Connecticut was no longer in the conference, Providence and Seton Hall embarked on the longest run of sustained success in each program’s history. " "[B]Connecticut (recruiting classes) Before (7 seasons prior to leaving BE):[/B] 22.8 average class ranking, 12 top 100 guys [B]After (7 seasons in AAC):[/B] 53.7 average, 8 top 100 guys As was the case with their on the court performance, things have dropped off for Connecticut while they were in the AAC. It’s not unreasonable to think that part of UConn’s problems have been the fact that they were not recruiting quite as well as they used to recruit. It’s also worth nothing that thanks to Dan Hurley landing two top 100 recruits in his first full recruiting class, UConn was ranked #18 for the Class of 2019. That regime change is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting for the Huskies to make those After numbers look a lot better than they actually were. Okay, onwards to the accused. Remember: All three teams below showed an on-court improvement with UConn out of the Big East. [B]Providence Before:[/B] 115 average, 4 top 100 guys [B]After:[/B] 49 average, 8 top 100 guys [B]Seton Hall Before:[/B] 151.6 average (with no recruiting class in 2012), no top 100 guys [B]After:[/B] 65.8 average, 4 top 100 guys [B]St. John’s Before:[/B] 99 average, 7 top 100 guys [B]After:[/B] 69.7 average, 3 top 100 guys" [URL="https://www.anonymouseagle.com/2020/7/1/21304419/uconn-connecticut-huskies-mens-basketball-big-east-return-recruiting-providence-seton-hall-st-johns"]UConn Has Returned To The Big East, And They Want Their Recruits Back[/URL] [/QUOTE]
