Why would Miller, Gibbs and now Larrier pass on opportunities to play for big name schools in p5 conferences? We all know there is nothing exciting about coming to the AAC to play the likes of Tulane, USF, Houston and East Carolina (possibly twice...ugh)
The lack of appeal to play in the AAC can be a real threat to a program's ability to recruit new talent -- unless you have a trump card.
I think KO is our trump card over all our AAC woes.
based on what i've seen over the last few weeks ....i think his credentials, his ability to relate to young men and to adapt his recruiting strategy (ie: lots of transfers) is more than enough to off-set the inherent challenges of being stuck in the dark cave known as the American Conference. Obviously wearing the UConn brand with all our success is icing on the cake ---> but i believe KO is the decisive factor for these young men.
Do you think we can thrive as a national power in the AAC as long as KO is coach? Is there longevity to what i'm suggesting above or are we dealing with too small of a sample size and not enough data?
Do you think what we're seeing with recruiting high quality transfers is sustainable? I absolutely love KO's inverted approach to recruiting "1 and done" type players ... (seniors like Gibbs, Miller)
I'm still hoping we still get out of the AAC --- but i can be a bit more patient now that we have a trump card.
