Message: [QUOTE="MyDorona, post: 4542365, member: 9397"] Neither I- or the original poster I agreed with- posited that the 05-06 failure was because of "over ranked top recruits." Rather, we seem to agree that it was due to a team of highly-recruited prep stars [Gay (T10), Anderson (T20), Denham (T35), Marcus (T50)]- who were extremely talented but incapable/ unwilling of playing the brand of team basketball that fueled UConn's run to a NC in 1999 and 2004. I would argue this extends back to the 04-05 team, with T5 recruit Villanueva as its de facto captain. That brand of basketball was not winning big games, and it was something Calhoun eventually moved away from. [/QUOTE]
