Message: [QUOTE="7774, post: 2003799, member: 2419"] You say you don't understand, but really you do. They're idiots. We're talking about a bunch of people who think our main problem is injuries or coaching, when our main problem is exactly what you outlined in this post. Calhoun's last 3 years were NIT, Kemba Walker, and worse version of last year. We then transitioned to a new/worse coach that hadn't had time to build up an advanced recruiting network, while having a tournament ban and all the recruiting/scholarship restrictions you mentioned. That killed a couple of recruiting classes, which are now last year's senior class, this year's senior class, and this year's junior class. They're nice people but not even in the ballpark in terms of the consistency needed to lead a high level team, which is what we've always relied on from our juniors and seniors. Our freshman and sophomore players are good, but they are freshman and sophomores, and half of them got injured, so now we're here. And in the face of all this, the response you'll get from the people you're talking about is "We're UConn so blah, blah, blah". That's sadly the most advanced level on which they are capable of thinking. [/QUOTE]
