Message: [QUOTE="Tex-Lager93, post: 2486712, member: 8311"] I think affiliation matters when it's the ACC or the Big Ten. But, it's a difficult sell to believe that kids or coaches go to Kentucky, Florida, Kansas or Oklahoma because they can't wait to play in that conference. No - they go for the program. Kids weren't lining up to play at TCU...until Jaime Dixon arrived and thrived. I keep seeing the name Hurley - but I think folks are looking at the wrong one. I would set my sights higher - on a Northeast guy that has turned Arizona State into a force. Granted, Bobby would have to get over the fact that Sellers bounced Laettner's head on the hardwood that time...but, you get my point. UConn is still a Program - we could land a Bobby Hurley from ASU or a Chris Beard from Texas Tech (#21) team. We sit in a talent rich corridor - it would be appealing to others, P5 affiliated or not.
