Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 2598804, member: 1559"] I don't know how you can say he hasn't put in the effort. You could say that it appears that he is not doing a good job managing the whole program, but I think he has tried, but for whatever reason, it just isn't working out right now. In my opinion, three key things have brought the team to where we are today: 1) For Ollie's first 4 seasons, he had at least 2 ex-head coaches on the bench with him. Today, he has none. 2) The 3 transfers and the loss of top recruit MAL at the end of last season. 3) Key injuries to Gilbert (2 years), Larrier, and Diarra. At the end of last season, it looked like UConn's roster going into the 2017/2018 season was going to be one 5* recruit and seven 4* recruits. Instead, it ended up being one 5* recruit and two 4* recruits, one who is Larrier who has never recovered from his injury. The roster does look better for next year at this point. [/QUOTE]
