The only reason anyone is a "must" get is to have hopes the Debbie-Downers will STFU..........we're fine! May be a tougher road for KO and staff but with time and adjustment they will be back and strong, no worries........

Ten Toes In..........We are Uconn :D

Exactly. We have good returning players and a pretty decent recruiting class. We'll be a little weak up front but we went 20-10 being a little weak up front last season. IMO, our biggest need is a quality PG next season. UConn will be fine.
 
I've always thought Devin Robinson is a must get. He's the perfect replacement for Deandre but might already have a better jumpshot

    Looks like the Hoosiers are down to Goodluck Okonoboh and Devin Robinson in terms of getting a Front Court player for 2014 we need somebody

With Hoosier target Whitehead going to Seton Hall, they are down to Robinson at the wing positions.

Nah they're still in play for Robert Johnson, Whitehead and Robinson are different positions. Interesting to see how their recruiting has played out this year, missed on Pinson, Black, Whitehead, A. Hill, and have had Trey Lyle and James Blackmon de-commit, and this is coming off their most visible and succesful year in ages. They have nobody signed right now....but UConn basketball is dead as we know it according to some on here.

Yup. Then there's Michigan State with exactly zero 2014 commitments. And the Big 12 conference, with two top-100 commitments for the entire league. Conference realignment must be killing those teams.

Funny...I was just looking at their recruiting posts for 2014. Sounds eerily like this board. Wondering why they are missing on top targets....funny....no talk that being in the B1G could be a factor.

And they don't have Purvis or Hamilton. Imagine how bad this place would be without those two.

More on Robinson's South Bend visit. He made a comment about the bad weather. Rainy and thunderstorms. Can't imagine what South Bend must look like on a dreary day. It's not in good shape when it's sunny.

I've been there in the rain. The town is dreary but the campus is beautiful in any weather.

When I visited the University of Chicago once it rained all 3 days. The department assistant made the same joke all 3 days: "We only have one season of bad weather: September through June." After 3 days I was convinced and went to California. Hopefully that same assistant now works for Notre Dame.

Good thing we're not in the B10 or B12! I know many of us are pointing to the AAC as our issue. I'm sure our conference situation isn't helping but there are so many factors when it comes to recruiting. A lot of recruits like the challenge of playing against the best and the old BE sure had lots of great teams.

Hopefully, KO can add a couple more nice pieces to the 2014 class, lead UConn to a successful 2013-14 campaign that includes a deep run into late March. If that happens, I see the makings for a huge 2015 class, though KO is going to have to work very hard, as he has been. Any top recruit that has one of the top major conference programs atop his list will still think twice about UConn when he hears a handful of negative recruiting concerning the level of competition in the AAC. Not saying this can't be overcome, but it is something that KO and the staff need to overcome with each recruit. Hopefully, they'll be able to scheduled top OOC competition each year with a good share of home-and-homes.

I feel I'm hopeful but realistic. I don't know the situation with returning players for IU or Mich St, but if they have ample upcoming PT, then I would think their recruiting would be getting along much better than it is considering their reputations and being part of the B10. Recruiting is an inexact science with varied results. It's just sometimes hard to swallow when we hear kids that are high on KO and UConn, but when it comes to decission time, they choose elsewhere. All we need is a couple more commits and we'll be in great shape.
 
they haven't mentioned anything of being a package deal, and we all know they don't usually happen anyway, but IU just picked up Robert Johnson, who is very good friends with Robinson and grew up on the same block as him. Hopefully this doesn't influence his decision.

Ugh, was hoping he'd pick UNC instead.

either that or UVA, I was surprised by all the UNC talk considering they already have Berry and Pinson and he would have to play behind them.
 
Outside of it being a recruiting violation, can't the real Jesus Shuttlesworth give D. Rob a call and show him the light?
