Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 4803404, member: 1026"] Still dumbfounded as to why people are arguing & flashing stats to show that UConn's freshman are worse than we think historically. All 5 of the starters (incl Castle here) are performing at or above expectations. Samson Johnson is equaling the optimistic projections. Diarra is showing the naysayers that he's an important & valuable piece. We are undefeated and at a minimum have a great first 7. No two teams & years are the same and this year is a very different national title follow-up. UConn is loaded and competing again for a national championship. And I'd bet even the biggest crappers in the freshman cheerios would admit it is >50% that one or two of the frosh can be the 8th & 9th men on a title team. The only logical reason I can find for this inane debate is UConn fans have grown accustomed to young teams & outsized freshman roles the year after national championships. This fifth time is different. [/QUOTE]
