Top recruits didnt want to sit behind our other top recruits and by the time those top recruits left, it was too late. Also, our best recruit of last year was Alterique he was the crown jewel of that class. We were meant to have the great UConn backcourts of yore again. Even if Alterique didnt make us that much better last year (and I think we wouldve been better with him,still flawed, but better) a full season last year wouldve set us up nicely for this year. We wouldve come into the season with Alterique with a full year under his belt ready to take the next step, and combined with Jalen that is pretty formidable. His loss not only this year, but last year stings REALLY bad. Its not an excuse. We still have to find ways, but allow yourself to imagine for a minute a healthy Alterique with a full season already under his belt combined with Adams. Dont imagine it for too long though, because it instantly leads to depression on our current state of affairs. [/QUOTE]
