Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3942862, member: 8636"] It beggars an examination, as opposed to blatant idolatry. Of course, everything about young people playing a team sport involves the human element. That’s not part of a good rebuttal. Many of us have followed men’s programs closely as well and I assert that I have never seen recruiting like I’ve seen the last 5 years at UConn. I know UMD basketball men’s from about 1970- present. UMD had the best recruiter in the history of sports, Lefty Driesell. He could sell beach front property in New Mexico. He recruited players that he needed and was a serious factor in the ACC every year. Coach K ever had such issues. Lack of true centers, players with zero chance of being big contributors for UConn, such as Coombs and Hunter. And now this obvious overcompensation we see going into next year. These are young women with their college careers at stake. You’re the one being harsh. I’m being realistic. IMO recruiting deserves a commitment, on both sides really. It cannot be taken lightly or cavalierly. [/QUOTE]
