Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2757482, member: 1526"] I think it's somewhat unfair to compare any numbers he posted at URI with what he can potentially accomplish with a brand name program like UConn. His recruiting opportunities were limited in Kingston, and IIRC, didn't he lose Mathews due to injury for virtually an entire season? At URI he had to be realistically thinking he probably had them close to the upper limit of their potential nationally. Maybe he would have eventually gotten them to a S16 or E8, but there's a ceiling there that probably won't ever be exceeded. At UConn, he knows the sky is the limit if he can turn things around, and he's supremely confident that he can. IMO, you can throw his past stats out the window. In his case, I don't think it's all tired old coachspeak. He believes in his ability to get it done. [/QUOTE]
