UConn, still awaiting word on Tyler Polley, mapping out potential transfers, recruits for next year

[Ricker]

Pretty sure that one player cannot reclassify. He's a true HS Junior, not a post grad prep school kid. I have not previously heard that he had the credits to reclassify.

I am having a hard time finding lists of guys who are legit reclass candidates.

Ergo - it would be a Big Surprise - Touche

But you can only work on 2 things. It's apparently the limit.

Focus by definition isn’t infinite. While it isn’t totally exclusionary as you imply, when Chief says to focus on two things, it means in Whaley’s case (which you are apparently referencing), these are the critical competency areas for improvement in order to get Isiah to the next basketball level of ability/skill. Try being all things to all people - it isn’t a recipe for success. The good coaches identify areas for players to improve in during the short term. Telling a guy he needs to get better at everything doesn’t really accomplish anything.

If you know enough to know you're being mocked without being referenced directly, you should know enough to know that we know all of the common sense that you typed out here.

We're mocking you for things like implying you're a good coach (or at least are trying to emulate one) in the same breath as suggesting that a big guy's FT% is more important than his ability to stretch the floor for his NBA prospects.
