The fact that they waited this long, so late in the season, means Baylor lured them behind the scenes.

Ollie stated stated that coaches are doing that and that's not what he does. He doesn't agree with it

We've got a chicken and egg situation here. It's hard to be positive about the last 12 months of UConn basketball. Some folks are capable of positivity no matter how bad things look.

Internet message boards are not full of people like that.

I was thinking it had more to do with the NBA Draft deadline and seeing team's complete returning rosters, but this makes a lot of sense too

Well, Baylor's Motley hired an agent over a month ago, so that wouldn't explain the sudden interest in switching to Baylor. There is no one else on Baylor who even figures in the NBA Draft, and Motley isn't even sure to be picked at all.

I was speaking more to the overall wave of at least 3 players who announced they're transferring today. And that's just the ones I've seen on here. I agree that for Kegler your reason makes more sense

Actually you are revising history a wee bit. We were coming off a 25 win season.
12 months ago we had our best recruiting class in years with a MCD AM
Plus a great point guard returning a good Athlete at the two and another top pick transfer becoming eligible . We also had hope for Facey and Brimah .
It looked like a UConn return to top tier basketball was here. ,we also were ranked in the preseason top 20. Our only coaching worry was KO going to he NBA
I'm only pointing this out to show how unwarrented excess optimism or pessimism at this time of year seem to be.

Motley is a talented kid teams would be crazy not take a shot late 1st round at least.
 
upstater said:
Yes, agree, but the mock drafts have him in the middle of the 2nd round.

Wow I'm amazed. Guess that's why I suck at evaluation.

Has a ways to go fundamentally and maybe his IQ (which we speak of a lot) is lacking but there's a ton of potential there.

Lot of people are aware that no one wants to listen to them bitch irl. With the advent of message boards, they now have an outlet. And a soap box.

I hate to say this, but in this age of communication, I think that's an antiquated concept. I'm quite certain all the major programs do it (if they need to). PCU sniped us good on that score.

It doesn't make it right and I'm ok with Ollie's position. Good for him. He has his standards and ethics. Now if Kill or Chill went rogue well... ;)

If all the people who claim that what's said on The Boneyard has no impact on the program would just stop posting (you know, because it has no impact), this would be a better place. In the meantime, Gresham's Law more or less.

We won't land a single decent recruit until we start winning games. Right or wrong, there's a stink coming off the program.

I never had a good feeling about Sid Wilson. It's just too easy for teams to negative-recruit against us.

Why would anyone go to a team that went 16-17 and lost a bunch of transfers who said kind of weird things on the way out?

If we win, things will change.

Wrong!
