Message: [QUOTE="TRest, post: 2573724, member: 512"] Here's the section of the story criticizing recruiting "....California standout in Daniel Hamilton. Since then, the well seems to have dried up. [URL='http://insider.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/classrankings/rank/_/rank/9/class/2016/date/20160427']UConn's 2016 class was heralded[/URL], but Gilbert is on his fourth shoulder surgery. [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/170755/vance-jackson']Vance Jackson[/URL] and [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/186434/juwan-durham']Juwan Durham[/URL] transferred, and a fourth top-100 player from the class, [URL='http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/207011/mamadou-diarra']Mamadou Diarra[/URL], hardly sees the floor. [URL='http://www.espn.com/colleges/basketball/recruiting/school/_/id/41/class/2017']Last year's class[/URL] -- [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4278229/josh-carlton']Josh Carlton[/URL], [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4278230/tyler-polley']Tyler Polley[/URL], [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4278231/isaiah-whaley']Isaiah Whaley[/URL] and [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4278232/kwintin-williams']Kwintin Williams[/URL] -- was a far cry from UConn's standards. It was the first time since 2007 that the Huskies didn't land a single top-100 player. Williams chose the Huskies over Big West schools. Ollie was in the mix for current Kentucky freshman [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4080610/hamidou-diallo']Hamidou Diallo[/URL] and also had a verbal commitment from freshman guard [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4278574/makai-ashton-langford']Makai Ashton-Langford[/URL], who ended up choosing Providence. Sources with direct knowledge of both recruitments said Ollie's lack of effort cost him in both cases." So, last year's class is entirely on Miller? After KO lost the two top targets and most of the class were just warm bodies, brought in after both the exodus of players fleeing KO and Miller's firing? [/QUOTE]
