Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 2636905, member: 364"] That is what comes through to me as I watch continuing drama and WINNING in March. Many here struggle with the depletion of UConn's talent base. While I am not dismissive of that argument, I remember our 1990 Team and some of this year's up&coming Cinderella's are reminding me of how fun and opportunistic Calhoun's early teams were in Championship months. Nate Oats. Eric Musselman. Ryan Odom. Then even some of the grey haired guys like Weber and D'Antonio. Fact is ... Kevin Ollie had a great 6 weeks that showed he can create and coach a Champion; I hope he can get that back (maybe he can take a $1m exile job in the NBA). You can take OUR current level of talent - with more heart and coached to hustle/board/defend - and be at the top of our conference and competitive in March fairly fast. That's my opinion. Calhoun was a revelation in those early years as his teams just looked like they could Win. [/QUOTE]
