Tyus Battle Enjoys UConn Visit

[The Smart One]

For the woman game that works but in the men game getting top 20 recruits help but not a guarantee NC. Look at last year Kentucky team. They had way more talent than UConn but to be fair they was mostly freshman's but they was still better, well we thought lol

dont forget that team was an 8 seed for a reason and before the championship game they had won on last possession plays like 3 straight games

Yeah worked out terrible for Kentucky, they only made the championship game. And with a few returnees, they seem to be doing alright this season.

Good idea, not sure why we don't just sign the top 5 guys each year... That would make things better for sure.

Missing the point. I was merely pointing out the falicy offered by many of UConn's football loyalist, who contend "we'll just like the players we do sign".
Who a program signs matters. Sign lesser talent, get poorer results. Not saying UConn is gonna land every top recruit but recruiting at a high level matters.

I think you are really on to something here.

Good point. I know we win the Championship games, but we should not lose sight on how great it is to play the last game of the season. It does count for something, fortunately we don't know how it feels to lose that game. The Final Four, and more importantly to be the last two teams standing is an accomplishment and validation to a successful season for all teams. One more than all the others of course.
