Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3135817, member: 4946"] 14 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast, while not eye-popping doesn't read as "MIA" to me. Hard to say if UConn could have changed her thinking if they were more aggressive, but I think Marshall was leaning pretty hard toward ND for a while. And then Stanford was the primary alternative because of the academics. Marshall & UConn wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons. Anyhow, speaking of ND & UConn. Both are in the same boat. Painfully short on numbers. But already have really nice starts on 2020 recruiting classes. Final Fours or no, kids want to play, not be along for the ride. When you have coaches that tend to stick to a 7-player rotation, this is an occupational hazard, I suppose. Additionally, one does wonder if the old school perfectionist approach of Geno and Muffet is what kids want these days. Everyone loves Oregon now and Graves seems to have the image of a more relaxed "Players' Coach". [/QUOTE]
