Message: [QUOTE="UConniki, post: 5268412, member: 1129"] When St John’s is putting together a top 2/3 team literally from scratch and a team that recently won 2 National Championship titles ( and likes to refer to themselves as the Basketball capital of the world) can’t seem to get to 10 players and recently lost AK’s replacement to Georgetown because of a lack of playing time and and can’t seem to secure a commitment from AK about returning leaving a potential giant hole not only in the starting lineup but no UConn level back up for the PF and C positions while most of the quality players are dropping off of the portal and the only development that matters concerning the team is negative. We lost a top 60 power forward and we might also lose AK also a power forward and every day that goes by without a decision leaves the potential replacement pool of players smaller and less attractive which will most definitely affect the upcoming season in a negative way. Duke just had a much higher ranked player decide to stay at Duke at the deadline. There’s nothing wrong with taking your time to make a decision of this magnitude but when Procrastinating to the extreme ( without an obvious source of new and pertinent knowledge and information concerning the decision available) is not only damaging to the team he loves so much but doesn’t seem to make his decision any easier, it is what it is ( his draft situation) and more time isn’t going to change that. ( Sorry if I’m rambling, I just returned home heavily medicated from a 3rd more involved ruptured disc and 12 disc fusion procedure ). I hope AK goes in the 1st round and UConn gets a worthy replacement and everything ends up great for all parties. [/QUOTE]
