Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 1977446, member: 153"] You're painting this in a dire way. As much as I love Gay, Villanueva, and Drummond, they never became the central cogs to lead UConn to a championship. In fact, Calhoun was pretty cool when he advised Gay to go, knowing we could have surely used him. I just think grabbing the top 10s has been incredibly rare at UConn, even when UConn was in the BE, even when the coach was Calhoun and he had a track record of putting guys in the NBA. It is asking way way too much to expect Ollie to do it in the AAC. But that's OK. Look at Villanova: 2012: Ochefu #49 2013: no top 50 2014: no top 50 2015: Brunson #22 That's 4 classes, a fringe top 50, and a freshman. National champions. [/QUOTE]
