Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 2964364, member: 6696"] You're an idiot. What you're describing is what I am saying UConn and Hurley is doing well--branding our history to recruits. 11-14 year olds obviously watch March Madness. But your average kid doesn't consider UConn a blue blood. Ollie did his work to ruin that possibility for the past 4 years. Nor do they care about our history in the tournament. They want to get to the NBA. Who do we have to show? Kemba and Drummond, really. Young kids don't really even remember #34. That's it. I'm sure Hurley and the staff are making our history much more well known to recruits. The athletic department has done a good job branding in NYC too. Part of the reason why we're able to reel in some higher rated guys still. I work with and coach teenagers 5 or more days a week all year. I am well aware of the average kid's priorities. [/QUOTE]
