Message: [QUOTE="ThabeetDown, post: 4381147, member: 4336"] God damn this both breaks my heart and infuriates me. TVD obviously made the right choice it looks like (who in their right mind would choose UConn over Miami) but still what could have been... There are seemingly 5-ish blue chip prospects in CT every year than end up going to high end P5 schools (Dom Brown had a Michigan pipeline for years) and I hope Mora can convince some of those kids to stay home. The issue is these kids grew up with UConn football being a joke the last 10 years. A current HS senior was what, 6 years old when UConn played in the Fiesta Bowl? Slightly nervous about the same occurring with basketball (not in-state but in general, a current HS senior was 9ish when the team won it all in 2014). There are now a whole generation of HS talent that hasn't had UConn success on their radar for most of their life, so it will be an uphill battle to change that in both sports. [/QUOTE]
