So hold on a second. Let's follow this logic:

- We cheated to try to land a few recruits
- The recruits turned us down for other schools

Doesn't that immediately raise red flags regarding the schools that actually did get these kids?

The bigger red flag is this staff can’t convince kids to come here even when they cheat.

Just kidding. Sort of...

Not if the recruits say "Yeah, UConn tried some shady stuff to get me to sign."

Seriously between Nate Miles not playing a second for UConn and some if not all of these potential recruits not even playing for us, you can't make it up.

If you're going to cheat, get some production out of it for god sakes.

Well, The Boneyard's greeting a lot of traffic; shop Amazon.

On the original thread, were already 130+ comments before sunrise for something posted past midnight that by morning had 0 comments on its publishing website.

The escalating number of comments on the original post, plus 2 offshoot threads reads like a massive brainstorming session triggered by red meat.

There's whatever the NCAA is already investigating, plus all kinds of additional prospects, players, coaches, affiliates, and scenarios.

And I end up being like @WingU-Conn, originally looking forward some, "Hey, how 'bout last night?" chatter when I logged on this morning. This is much more like a game of Clue than was mentioned last night.

Ain't we got fun!

Here's Coach entering the office today...

Not sure what happens moving forward but this will be over the programs head for months. 2019 recruiting just took a major blow. Negative recruiting will happen. The end of year exodus will be many more than I thought. Either way I dont see how Ollie is back next year. If their is violations thats a serious death blow to the program.

We would need a new coach who would take over a program that isn't eligible for postseason that probably will lose 80% of the roster.

Well, it appears that we may not have to worry about any 10 million buyout. So we got that going for us. Which is nice.

With a brand completely tarnished. And sanctions. Who's gonna want to come now?

I'm tired of this Spartacus. It's not remotely enjoyable to follow.

 

[jibsey]

We need to do this the way North Carolina did it. Deny anything happened, say the coach did nothing wrong, followed by no self punishment. In other words just tell the NCAA to _____ off.

Rationally im just ready to quit college athletics all together. Unfortunately being an alum makes it harder.

I haven't quit, but I find myself slowly divesting (yes, I'm an alumni).

Well at some point if/when we are given sanctions, you take your medicine, while offering to pay 2-3 million for a job ..you'll still get some qualified applicants.

You could have said the same about Indiana post-Sampson. And they're still able to attract top coaching candidates.

They were still in the Big Ten though.

 

[KingAG]

At this point they are still just accusations. I’d wait until we are charged with an infraction to panic

LOL at still offering 2-3 million.

A couple of players got caught up in recruiting scandals such as Waters, Diallio etc.. And got immunity to rat out anything that happened in their recruiting and of the schools mentioned UCONN was the most appetizing to Emmert and the NCAA. Plus they wont touch the P5. Now they will prove they can be hard to improve their image after NC and Louisville. UCONN still looks good in headlines.

OR

Our favorite former employee who it is well known is still bitter (Glen Miller) . Putting the screws to his former boss and destroying whats left of his career.

 

[Kembacity]

You mean we are in trouble for guys we didn’t even succeed in getting? Talk about the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.

and we'll get punished but strangely the schools they ended up with wont?

I don’t think Glenn would do that to UConn and Calhoun. If Ollie died this way it’d kill the program along with him

Stuck between a rock and a harder rock.

This obviously sucks but we're still a school that's won 4 titles and we'll have 10 million dollars off the books for our next hire.

The fact people are pinning Miller to this is laughable. Its make believe. There is literally no evidence.

You might as well say John Calipari was my barber. And after seeing him give Doug Wiggins a free haircut in 2005 he offered me 4 laptops that AJ Price stole and a free dance lesson from Bunky.

 

[The Viking]

LOL at still offering 2-3 million.

Keep laughin

It will be hard to make a good hire if guilty and the sanctions are bad enough. we will have to find a nobody with potential

 

[Block C]

All I can say is I bet it’s very busy at UConn today a lot of worrying going on

 

[3rdbass]

Like others have mentioned this will make it hard to get a Dan Hurley type to come here. Maybe Pitino and UCONN can forge a bond together to show they can run a clean program. LOL!

 

[Husky pride]

You can always count on home-based, state tax supported, ESPN to stand by us! Not only do they make sure to publish the story on a timely basis but they make it known to the sports world that this isn’t the “first time UConn has beeen under NCAA scrutiny”. Squarely on our side whether it’s to promote UConn interest when it comes to conference realignment or any other sports needs related to the State’s flagship university. So great to have them on-board and pulling for us in good times and in bad!!!

 

[Candyman]

A top low major coach would jump at the chance to coach at UConn. Which is what will probably happen.

 

[Banta55]

Tom Crean was hired hmmm

 

[UConnNick]

Nothing strange about it at all. Emmert would love nothing more than making damn sure he never has to get up on a stage and hand another men's NC trophy to UCONN.
