Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4934798, member: 181"] I'm confident that you didn't say this. And I doubt anybody did. So why are you presenting a winning argument around something nobody said? I asked if anybody other than Kwintin Williams was sourced from YouTube. Nobody has educated me to believe the answer is Yes. I seem to be getting push back for raising the question. I found nothing objectionable or false in someone offering that the team had fallen to the bottom half of all D1 schools. I merely questioned two different claims that YouTube videos were used for multiple players. I wouldn't mind learning if that were the case, and I've admitted that I only know of one. I've also given partial answer as to why it's unnecessary to make the primary point that people are wishing to advance, which roughly speaking goes like this: "The reporter was ignorant, stupid, dishonest, under-researched, poorly-fact checked and/or some other explanation in asserting that Hurley's has done a good job in maintaining UConn's high standards by doing well with a program he joined at a time things were going well." I haven't expanded on the matter, because I think it's inessential and moves things irrelevantly in the direction of something that remains emotionally unsettled within a fanbase that I think has legitimate reason to operate in a more aligned fashion currently. As such, I see a low-value, low-info, low-quality article delivering on its mission to draw attention to boost its publisher's revenue, but also possibly having a collaterally negative impact by resulting in two people with similar educational training and professional capabilities paying attention to somebody else's invitation to be distracted, when we both know the article bad and UConn immediately prior to Hurley was not doing well. The only think for me to do is acknowledge that you've soundly defeated arguments I haven't made, and leave it there. And, of course, I retain my open mind to learn that there were verifiable multiple efforts to recruit off of YouTube, but that UConn lost the other recruiting battles. Again, it wouldn't bother me to learn this as much as I'd appreciate having learned something new. [/QUOTE]
