Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 2528807, member: 794"] But again I ask, who are these players that are suddenly going to jump at the opportunity to come play for us? We are not a highly desirable program to play for and aren't going to attract some major name coach if KO is fired. A lot of the sentiment here is based on the assumption that we can just unilaterally clean house of coaches and players and suddenly highly-touted new ones will immediately chomp at the bit to come play for New Coach X at a UConn program that has been in the shitter for multiple consecutive years, is in a state of major transition, and in a crappy basketball conference. That's not the case. The best case scenario is shedding some of the dead weight on the current roster (two of whom will be graduating in AA and DO), considering a coaching change, hanging on to as many of the recruits and current valuable players as we have, and rebuild from THAT foundation. As I wrote in another thread, AG, Vital, Akinjo, Wilson, Carlton, Whaley, and potentially Adams and/or Larrier is a solid and balanced foundation to build from. They won't be world beaters, but either with the right (and significant) coaching philosophy adjustments from KO or with a new staff, that group has the potential to be a tournament team. [/QUOTE]
