I also hope this class will stay together and achieve great things at UConn, but I think it's something of a stretch to compare them to the Big 3.  Stewie, Mo & Tuck were ranked 1,2 & 6 their senior yr in HS.  This class is ranked 1, 13, 16 & 29.  While I'm not necessarily married to HS rankings as the ultimate determinant on how well a player will do in college, the 2012 class was the best ever recruited IMO by ranking and by success on the court once they arrived in Storrs.

Another factor is that this class is entirely made up of guards & wings, while the 2012 class had 2 dominant front court players to go along with an incredibly talented pg.  In that sense, the 2012 class was more balanced.

With that said, UConn will be loaded with talent for the next several years, and if Geno and his staff can pursuade players like ONO, Brunelle & Boston to matriculate to Storrs, the 2017 class will leave Storrs in 4 years with tremendous success in their own right.
