Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 4184150, member: 2844"] Great post Chief00 I feel that Cole, Martin, Hawkins, Whaley and Sanogo should be the starters and/or the go to line-up. Thats the kind of line up UConn used to dominate with - reminds me a little like that 99 championship team in physical make-up. Hawkins could easily be molded into a Rip type of player. The one big difference is that you don't have a shutdown defensive guard. Martin needs to demand the ball more because he can drive against the bigger guys. The hedging BS has to stop - UConn gave up at least four 3 pt shots by leaving shooters open in the corner - it also puts our bigs out of position to grab rebounds Why do you recruit top ranked kids to keep them tied to the bench? This is not a good look for recruitment. All this talk about depth is just that talk - I am sure that kids like Hawkins, Sool and Johnson/Springs would be much more ready to contribute if they had received appreciable playing time earlier in the season rather than watching the starters blow cupcakes out by 40 plus points. Bad night, bad look, bad karma all around - thank you IW for showing up [/QUOTE]
