UConn was on him a long time. Our staff wasn't all that scared and it was clear that Acaden was likely going to have to wait for PT (which was likely a decisive factor).
2 championships, four final fours in 21 years. Oh and the hall of fame…. But continue.
And UConn has 5 chips in the past 21 years with only like a dozen 5* players. KU has had dozens of 5* burger boys that were drafted in the lottery in that same timeframe so self has underachieved by comparison. calamari even more so
That point - a valid one IMO - is that UConn is getting their best recruiting class ever this year with three McDs AAs. That's an average year for the likes of Kansas and UNC. Indeed, 2 in 21 years is underachieving.
That’s right in the wheelhouse! Lol
They both have intangibles that are hard to quantify.
I would assume positive?
We definitely have a skewed perspective here at UConn. Winning titles seems rather easy.
Something you can expect these days when a major program goes through a coaching change, ala UK last year. I suppose Calipari was able to keep Brazille as an exception.
Well it makes sense. The players are choosing the relationship with the coach more than anything else which includes the school, it's facilities, etc. Of course this assumes the NIL/revenue sharing salary is comparable.
Like the rebounds. Blocks?
You really need a min of 30 seconds to get a good feel about a player. I‘d give it another 10 seconds and then see if you’re still sold
Likewise I think coaches like starting with “their own” guys. There is a mental element to a player being recruited by the coach from both ends. IU is another example this year.
Yes, Boakye would be an ideal back up. Hopefully, the "do not contact" tag means "contact my agent" as opposed "I already got a school I am going to sign with, don't bother me".
