Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2686447, member: 26"] That seems to me to be essentially correct. But nowhere in there did you mention the subject of transfers, which is what we originally disagreed about. Believe me - I have had numerous conversations off board with UCONN friends (who post here) and have vented my frustration about several topics that were hot buttons all year. It's one reason I rarely post during games in game threads - I get too fired up. But then I take a breath and by the time I get on the board, I'm more rational. So yeah, I share the frustrations with other fans regarding certain topics that were discussed all year. But the fact that Geno is considering some grad transfers is NOT because he recruited the wrong kids, or didn't try. The list of kids he went after and who either chose elsewhere, or who he felt were not good fits, is pretty lengthy in the last 3-4 recruiting cycles. The kids who said "no" (or who we said no to) include Wilson, Canada, Drummer, Ogunbowale, Cox, Holmes,Westbeld, McCoy, Collier, DeCosta, Smith, Prince, Scott-Grayson, and others. So I get your frustration, but felt it was unfair to label us "hypocrites" based on being thrilled a couple of high character AND high skill kids are interested, even tho they only have 1 year left. If UCONN lands Amihere, Jones, Boston and Correa/Horston from 2019, and then Brink, Buekers, and Van Lith from 2020, I guarantee we will NOT be discussing transfers IN to Storrs in 2021...! [/QUOTE]
