Half this board seems to want him at Memphis as much as UConn. So good news I guess?

Any sane fan with half a brain should want him to go to Memphis IF he's not coming here.

I understand that we want our conference to be good, but I don’t see how Precious to Memphis actually helps us. We want to win games, right? I’d feel better losing out to a “blue blood” than to an AAC team.

We need eyeballs on the AAC and a team that can make it past the first weekend in March to bring credibility to our conference (and by association, UConn).

Then let's recruit a good team and make it happen ourselves. If we're good in March nobody cares about Memphis making a run
 
Maybe I’m off here, but I’m not OVERLY crisis concerned about the official cause the kids been on campus what, 3+ times already?

You get a better seed in March if the teams you play are good. You also sell more tickets. It's also easier to get good players to come to a conference that is a good conference regularly on TV.

Precious coming to UConn is and should be priority #1.

But if he doesn't come here, we should want to beat him on the court, and that won't happen if he goes to UNC, UCLA, or Kansas.

Don’t you know other schools elevating themselves and getting poached by a P5 is good for UConn?

Memphis getting poached by a P5. LOL

None of the teams in this conference have a real shot of getting poached due to a variety of things (mostly their redundancy). UConn is the only one that has any appeal if it can get it's basketball act together and if it's football program can stop embarrassing itself.

Cincy has an outside shot at the B12. UCF as well, I guess. Houston might, though it would be the normal short-sighted B12 move.
 
When a guy’s recruitment seems strange, that’s usually because it is. I’m not saying illegal or unethical, just different.

When a team has been down, like UConn recently, it can be easy to say you want everyone else in the conference to suck. Just win no matter how and all that, but it really just makes everyone’s job tougher. Guys like Kofi commit to play elsewhere because they want to play against the best. Having all your chances for big, tournament influencing wins come in the OOC sucks.

I agree you want a good conference and good conference games. It's just weird to ROOT for that. At least for me, but I appear to be in the minority

I agree. I just didn’t get the sense that that many people were rooting for it. More like, if I can’t get what I really want, maybe I could eventually find solace in that- better for the conference and a chance to beat him.
