Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 2250928, member: 683"] Mac is DEAD-ON with this! The three things he mentions are a nasty cycle..recruiting gets hurt, on-ice product suffers which leads to the typical fair weather UConn sports fan bailing with the love affair of living to HE over. It's a cycle that will be hard to break until something concrete (plans and a break ground date) comes down facility wise that Cav can sell to recruits. The one thing that is on UConn's side is landing kids like Letunov, Masnoius and Nyberg who have admissions issues at another school. As for the roster...things seems pretty set up-front but on the blue line there may be changes...Karashik can play so someone may get bumped. Hopefully the S&C program improved...a kid like Payusov was so ill prepared he didn't even belong on the ice last year..he was pushed around from his first shift last season. Sr and Jr class have to step up goal production or it will be a LONG year. If Letunov isn't the number 1 center then there are HUGE issues as well! [/QUOTE]
