He wasn't going to UCONN regardless of how hard they went after him. The only way he was going to UCONN is if UCONN hired Cooley.

Nope.

And nope.

Before UConn got Omar Calhoun it was at best a 50/50 proposition at getting Dunn to UConn. There was interest on both sides. If UConn had not taken Calhoun, I don't think the decision would have changed but UConn was recruiting him and he was highly considering them. We will never know how things would have played out if UConn had not taken Calhoun but with no APR penalties and with Drummond it would have been closer than PC fans would care to admit (though due to Boat and Napier I would still say it is likely he ends up at PC). UConn got a NC with its backcourt so UConn can't complain with the results and PC can't brag about it. Worked out for all involved.
 
Dunn said in his own words. Watch some video on him, read some stories if you really want the answer. He wasn't going anywhere but where Cooley was.

I trust who I talked to and when I talked to him (as in during the recruitment).
 
As do I....but keep making pretend you know what you are talking about. It's entertaining.

The NCAA ban made that unlikely with or without Dunn.

Eh. Kris and Andre are bestfriends. If Kris came to UConn I'm sure he would've stayed just to play and be with Kris. The reason he went to UConn was because Kris decided to go back to New London instead of St Thomas Moore. Otherwise Andre would've just stayed another year in high school and went to the NBA.

Ahh, I see you have a new handle. Didn't realize you were the previous PC fan. Ignored. And PC sucks donkey balls.

Yes, I know. And I don't know Drummonds thoughts personally so you could be right and maybe I phrased my response poorly there. My point was the APR ban played a bigger role than Dunn not coming IMO, but without the APR issues Dunn may have come, so chicken and egg argument.

Why are you even here? Why do you even care what people here think, he's at PC, does this offend you that at one time his mind was thinking UConn? Maybe if that 8th ranked team could get by the powerhouse Marquette squad you'd be in a better mood. I know no one around here is in a good mood so putting up with d-bags like you doesn't help with the morale. Move on to Coren and crew, although because of that I don't blame you for wanting to be with intelligent fans.

This thread started with Gomes. PC folk talk, with glee, remembering when Calhoun went off on the reporter from the NH Register.
Bottom line, in '04, is UConn went on to win it's 2nd NC. PC got knocked off in the 1st round. And, didn't make the tourney for another 10 years.
When Dunn signed with PC, UConn was coming off it's 3rd NC. Since Dunn's time at PC, UConn has won it's 4th NC.
Coming from a UConn fans viewpoint, who cares how, or why Gomes and Dunn ended up at PC. UConn won it's 2nd, 3rd, & 4th NC, during that time. Plus an additional F-4 appearance. PC hasn't won a tourney game since the 90's. Cooley has never won a tourney game.
So take your Dunn, Gomes, & Cooley. I'll take UConn's situation any day.

I agree with all of that. I've never said anything like "HAAA PROVIDENCE HAS DUNN UCONN SUCKS" but that's how you read it in your translator. UCONN has won national championships. They were awesome. Incredible teams. Providence has not had NCAA success in a very long time. They've sucked terribly in the NCAA's since Pete Gillen left. That's stated and agreed upon by all parties. K? Check it off your list.

However it has nothing to do with what we were talking about or with what I've said. The question was why isn't Dunn on UCONN. The answer is very simply Ed Cooley. Whether you want to believe that or not, it's up to you, but it has nothing to do with the other noise.
 
It's clear there are very few active NBE message boards.
