King's going to be tough to get away from Louisville - with Kenny Johnson there, it's a little like recruiting against UNLV for a Findlay Prep kid.

Thats what I mean, why don;t we have a top recruiting assistant who is locked down tight with AAU connections like these other top programs do?
Examples:
K. Johnson @ 'Ville
Book Richardson @ 'Zona
ETC.

This is what is needed to bring in some of these top recruits.

We need to exploit any possible angle since we aren't P5 or have a shoe company alum owner.

Because we assembled a staff that won a national title - and it takes a little more than missing out on a couple options for Daniel Hamilton's backup in one recruiting cycle to give someone a pink slip and create an opening.

We also have a head coach with a huge aura around him and more connections (below the NBA surface) than many people realize. He is getting legit interest from top recruits, making many "final lists," and seems to be able to land the kids he truly wants.

We as fans should want players who deserve to play for UConn (proper spelling? :rolleyes:) and bleed blue, not kids that are just using the program as a quick stepping stone to the NBA and are infatuated with a recruiter with slick words.

And Richardson isn't really even the ace recruiter on that staff. Joe Pasternack is a beast.
