So going by Rivals the 2014 roster barring any early entrees (doubtful) or no other top 150 players committing (also doubtful) we will have a team of:
#11 Daniels
#12 Purvis
#18 Hamilton
#39 Calhoun
#42 Boatright
#66 Facey
#118 Nolan
#118 Samuel

We are fine.

I've dealt extensively with people in CT as well as people in Florida through work and I can say that there is absolutely no comparison. People from CT and New England in general are much much friendlier than people in Florida.

48yrs in ct, 14yrs in fl. I respectfully disagree. Have owned retail electronics stores in both states, it's not even close , Its called southern hospitality. people in ct are probably more educated, but definitely not friendlier.

Correction: People in Florida are much nicer ... as long as you're white.

New Englanders are generally a**holes, but at least we're a**holes to everyone.

Uconn admits they were late to the party, didn't get involved early on, he wasn't considered a top recruit by many including Uconn, which is why pc probably got involved earlier than us.

We've been reading about Chukwu visiting UConn since before his junior year. Just how early do you want them to be. He came from Africa, played a year of HS ball, and before the year was out, UConn was on him.

Your referring to the souths reputation for being racist. Fl is60% transplanted northerners,you must be thinking about South carolina, Miss, Ala ect.
 
Visiting doesn't mean they offered him back then, Pc coach was on him while he was still at fairfield.

When I went on an interview to U. Miami, they grilled me as to how I handled issues dealing with diversity in previous jobs. In about 25 interviews before all over the country, I'd never been asked that question. So I answered as best I could. Then I asked what particular issues does U. Miami have. They replied that there are basically 3 contingents at the school of people who did not grow up with one another and occasionally there are problems. If you look at their numbers, you see the divide. 50% of their students are from the state of Florida. There's a Latino population, small-town Florida population (nearly all white), and an urban black population.

Tolksdorf as well, though he was left out of the original post for obvious reasons.

Brochacho's point - that we'll be ok in 2014 even if Ollie doesn't land another big recruit - is a good one. We're going to be fine no matter what happens, and given the upside of all four bigs projected to be on the 2014/15 roster, we'll probably be better than fine.

It would be nice, however, if we'd landed the type of talent who could elevate us from "fine" to "favorites." But if we don't... oh well. We don't have to be favorites to be champions.

Do you remember what Calhoun said when people asked him about a Conn. kid that went to play at PC?

UConn is not in competition with PC.

Good point.

Just can't stop with the sarcasm. While my family and I will remain Uconn fans forever , one of the things I don't miss is ct. people, while the people down here are genuinely friendly, ct is still full of insecure wannabes . NO pro sports, Uconn floundering (unfortunately ), it's a small state full of small minded people that think small. I went to south catholic high and played there, Joe Reilly was the hof coach, Dom Perno was also a coach there, (yes the former Uconn coach), Gary palladino Uhartford coach. I think I have a clue, at least in so far as to offer an occasional opinion on the Boneyard with out being attacked or insulted. Were all Uconn fans, save the hostility for fans of other schools, Uconn isn't well liked or held in high esteem these days at least athletically, and could use all the fans it can get.

Just shut up.

You were going to say it, or did you just say it?

"Being civil (polite) is beyond your grasp, you clueless moron." Hahahaha. Gotta love people without a sense of irony.

Lady, I don't know why you're showing up all of a sudden, but you need to dial it back a little.

As far as "southern hospitality," I've always thought that Florida is ideally situated, geographically, down in the southeastern corner, because it seems like the place where all the garbage from the rest of the country drains. Be honest, when you read a headline that says "Man Arrested While Masturbating In a Skin Suit Made Out of His Neighbor" 9 times out of 10 the people involved are from Florida.

White is going to a school overloaded w/ pf, sf types.It doesn't seem to matter at other schools.RB might be back, DD might be back, Gtown now has 6 (4top 100) sf/pf. I hope you 'r right and it all works out, I'm just not as optimistic. Thanks for the civil response.

There are always exceptions where players will ignore competition due to their own confidence or thinking that they will thrive off of it. Also, Georgetown in one of the best academic schools in the country. Schools like Standford, Duke, and Georgetown are exceptions because kids will sometimes pick them to actually get an education as a first priority over basketball. UConn is very solid academically especially when compared to other big time sports schools, but players almost always pick UConn for basketball first and an education second.

Nobody cares about your first game, your soccer tickets none of your crap. You have NO clue but as long as you think you do congrats..........but seriously you've been annoying thus far!! aceboon has forgotten more than you think you know pal!

Maybe some kids don't want to go to UConn because Ollie hasn't proved anything yet.

Not likely. Some out-of-state HS coaches have whispered its because Connecticut is a small state full of small minded people that think small...

The humor website fark.com posts stories of the weird and ridiculous and labels them by category.

Florida is its own category.

Couldn't have said it better myself! There are some true fans on this forum who simply want to discuss the state of Uconn basketball, share opinions, ask questions gather info. Reasonable people can agree to disagree with out insults and rudeness. Obviously not everyone here is mature enough to understand that concept. I posted on Uconn recruiting, disappointing in my opinion so far, hopefully it will improve, I would love to be proven wrong. I was immediately called" a big ass baby", by some person named aceboon, and numerous other people have chimed in with their own comments . I said at one point that I think I have a clue enough so that I feel comfortable offering an opinion, just an opinion mind you, and some person who goes by the name mauconnfan so eloquently states you have NO clue and you are annoying. Maybe I am, depends on your perspective I guess on what you consider annoying. But some of you people are down right rude and have some serious issues and in my humble opinion are an embarrassment to anything Uconn related.

White actually said that playing time his freshman year is his number one priority.

than he doesn't see the others as serious competition. Some players have a lot of confidence and others don't.
