I see no reason why to assume the experiment is failed when we’re about 1/4 of the way through the timetable for it. You may turn out to be right, but jumping to way-too-early conclusions with a profoundly negative outlook on our players’ potentials is simply not the way I choose to orient myself as a UConn fan.

I know it’s all a part of the discussion between similarly passionate fans, but I’m honestly just not in tune with pessimism. I know, you may see this take as realism, but what we’re doing here is predicting the future outcome of a guy on our roster. You predict a fundamentally negative outcome (i.e., the pessimistic point of view), I predict a positive one. Neither of us actually has a clue what is going to happen. Even by watching every game and press conference we are still only observing the tip of the iceberg that is Aidan Mahaney’s development process.

You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m not even trying to change your mind, but I feel like it’s good to inject some optimism at times when one of our guys is getting crapped on so much here.
