Kind of, but really not OT: Bob Diaco

[HuskyHawk]

Well, I thought I did an accurate job with the title. So if it's annoying you, don't click on it. Because some of us (during the doldrums of the basketball offseason) find that this is relevant to UConn basketball.

I'm not hating on Diaco, I'm just pointing out concerns.

It's a UConn board, with subforums. Almost everybody on any subforum will cheer for UConn in every sport. Some put men's hoops first, some football, some women's hoops and hell, some perhaps hockey or soccer. But for the most part everybody who frequents the football subforum is a UConn basketball fan. So the only reason to post a thread that that is 99% the same as existing threads in the Football subforum, which are already seen by most of the people who read the basketball subforum is to be an irritant. To get a rise out of people. Just my take.

Ugh. This is often repeated, never accurate. Look at the HS rankings of the players on the elite teams. Diaco is doing what he has to do but I hate seeing the statement that rankings are meaningless.

You make the same argument in the other direction and I could give you a list of 4* & 5* guys who ended up doing nothing.

You know the OP has written some bullsh-t when they are reduced to saying "Well derp if you don't like it, don't read it"

In my opinion, it is still much too early for anyone to make a definitive statement like that.

Especially considering Diaco inherited PPGL's cluster-farce, and has only had 1 full-year to recruit his own recruits.

nailed it. This year is the trending year - we can start to get a much better picture of where things are going. Trigger time (assuming things are still looking bad) cannot come until the end of the 2017 season at the earliest....probably should be end of 2018 season to give him a fair amount of time.

No matter what, Bob's team has to beat Villanova & Army. If not, the season gets very ugly. No way does this team beat MO, or at BYU.
An 0-4 start probably leads to an 0-12 season.
Two quick wins can lead to 2-4 more wins this season. Six total gives us bowl consideration. (probably consideration, like Temple last year, only)

No way last year's team beats UCF. But they did. And now they own the Civil ConFLiCT Cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be worried if we don't beat nova.

I'm afraid Nova might still be better and more talented. A heaping crap doesn't begin to smell better with one spray of flowery scent.

Freakin poetic!
