That's how important it is to get a player of that caliber. [COLOR=#ff0000]Totally aware of this possibility. Difference between you and me is that I phrase things in possibilities. You phrase things in absolutes. When your absolutes don't happen you then blame the coaches because you couldn't possibly be wrong about your assumptions. You've created a wonderful universe of self deception.[/COLOR] One year of Lecque will help us recruit other elite guys especially if he becomes a lottery pick and a one-and-done player. Akinjo is a good player but not a game changer for UCONN. Somebody like Lecque or Precious Achiuwa could be game changers moving forward. We just need one 5 star elite talent to open up the floodgates for future ones to say that UCONN is back. [COLOR=#ff0000]Snark on. I better take out flood insurance, snark off.[/COLOR] I don't want to hear excuses about kids not wanting to play on bad teams. LSU gets guys, and they haven't done anything. UCONN is a national brand who plays a national schedule with recognizable stars in the NBA. UNLV has gotten guys. Auburn, Vanderbilt, and Alabama are getting some elite recruits lately. Yea conference helps, but this is UCONN we have a recognizable brand. [COLOR=#ff0000]Did I say self deception. L$U is dirty as they come. If you don't believe that than yes they haven't done anything. Brand is important, but on a list of things that are important it is low on the list. You should say you don't want to hear excuses that don't fit your narrative because when things don't work out you blame others instead of accepting that your opinions could be flawed. Pure definition of making excuses.[/COLOR] And yes I want Lecque, because he's a very good player who could help the team immediately and because he has the potential to assist UConn in the ways you list.
