Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3981195, member: 9844"] That is big news and good news for Uconn fans if true. When you go after one of the top ranked players, get to the short list, and then miss out it really hurts. When they pick one of your most likely challengers for a championship, then that makes the pain many times worse. When we lost out on Boston and Jones it hurt us a lot, but also elevated SC and Stanford to near our level. My first hope in recruiting is our success, but with the ones that get away the last thing I want to hear is Stanford, South Carolina, Maryland, Oregon, North Carolina State, or Louisville, at least this year. I know the player will pick a very good team, just hope it is not the very top tier in most competition with us. [/QUOTE]
