Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2571627, member: 1559"] Couple of points. Vance Jackson? He seemed gone before the season ended, so I don't buy the "plan" story. Heck, in February, he tweeted that "CT was not for me". I do think he was worried about how Larrier was going to put hm back on the bench when he came back from injury. Doesn't anyone wonder why he ended up at New Mexico instead of a major program? As for Diallo, the rumors were he was going to Kentucky, but there was hope he would still come to UConn. Many of us worried that we spent TOO much time on Diallo because we weren't hedging our bet on Diallo coming to UConn. Wasn't the loss of Diallo why Miller was fired as Miller seemed to think Diallo was in the bag? Now the story is that it was Ollie's fault? Honestly, it is hard for UConn to recruit against Kentucky. Look at what happened with Gabriel. UConn devoted a ton of time and Calipari came in and scooped him up with little effort. I don't know if Ollie works hard or not as I am not around him. If he isn't working hard, shame on him and he has nobody to blame for UConn's problems than himself. I do believe that Benedict has a better handle on the situation than Goodman or anybody on The Boneyard, so I think Benedict needs to make a decision at the end of the season. As always, I support UConn basketball and I will watch the game tonight. [/QUOTE]
