Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2013502, member: 153"] That only applies to Brimah. Facey was a blue-chip recruit. But even Brimah was better than his 250+ rating implied. There are a lot of big men projects like Brimah. Let's not forget that Souleymane Wane, Gavin Edwards, Charles Okwandu all played for UConn, and also of course, Phil Nolan and Jonathan Mandeldove. UConn will always take a chance on these kids because you need depth at the big man spot, and one and dones like Diamond Stone aren't really going to work over the long haul. You just have to hope that you get more Hasheem Thabeets and Gavin Edwards's than Mandeldoves. [/QUOTE]
