So the recruits were treated to that BB game today?

How many NC's does Gonzaga, Witchita St and Xavier have?

They seem to be doing OK in conferences they're in.

I cant get over the scooters, Calhoun would never have tolerated that crap. Ollie probably used it to lure the kids here; I can't stop picturing him wearing a shriners' fez.

Out for my lunch time walk on campus today. Saw more that several athletes out & about including FB, WBB, Soccer & Track scooting around campus on these things in this weather. The scooters came to life on-campus with athletes during JC's last 2 years coaching; more than a couple of his players used them.

They were also never at the level UConn hoops were. They could never come close. As many have mentioned, the Men's program is not at the level it once was, for conference reasons or not. It's still UConn Men's basketball. Players came here to play for Calhoun and win championships. I don't think Ollie has the same pull. I also think the whole mind set of top recruits has changed, one year and go to become a lottery pick. UConn has never really been a school that has brought in those kind of players (Drummond being the exception). The entire program just doesn't have the same feel to me. No more grit. No more heart. Not the same intensity. I don't even feel as anxious to watch the games regardless of what is going on that day.
