Message: [QUOTE="UconnFanNVa, post: 2532036, member: 5187"] I think its a fair thread to analyze whats going on with our program. So it almost appears to be a relief that we didnt land another gaurd that cant shoot, however, Ollie and company recruited him! So does Ollie and staff have a hard time building a team with the right pieces that fit together right? On the flipside... had he come to Uconn and performed equally as bad, the staff would be taking the blame for 1 recruiting a not so talented kid. or for not getting the most out of yet another talented player. I wish the kid well honsetly, but it goes to show you a high ranking player that comes in an under performs, it isnt always on the staff. MAL could just need development (obviously he needs to work on his shot) , if he has the right atttitude and works hard he could improve... Or if he doesnt he wont improve. Bottom line is his story could be looked at as a negative or a positive from the Uconn perspective. Providence cant make MAL hit jumpshots, just like Ollie cant make anyone on our whole team make shots. On the flipside, how about we recruit at least a few players that are actually good at making jumpshots? Lots of blame to go around at Uconn, there is nothing black and white about our situation imo.
