Message: [QUOTE="Javjudah, post: 2286538, member: 8176"] The recruits from the championship team of 2014 was Mostly made up of UConn's 4 th or 5 th option in the recruiting world. I believe we had Napier reclassified after striking out on Selby, Knight... Boatwright decommited from West Virginia Giffey wasn't a top 100 Kromah came from George Washington as a 5th year senior Brimah Nolan Daniels Olander Omar Calhoun who considered decommiting after Calhoun retired Terrence Samuel Tolksdorf... who are we kidding, none of these guys will make a roster at Kentucky or Duke or any of the top programs. Maybe Napier. What this team had was heart not talent and was well coached. Many forgot Kevin Ollie was giving a 6 months contract for the 2012-2013 season. This was the biggest blunder as it hurt us even more as no kid will commit to a program without knowing who the coach will be. This killed us with recruiting in 2013 and 2014. Without talent you don't win games and that will not attract top recruits Especially after we were put in the All American conference to play Tulsa, tulane, USF, UCF... Kevin Ollie did a great job with the roster he had the first 2 years. I don't think anyone could have done better with that roster. Additionally, Kevin Ollie's divorce and his mom health didn't help. Many of us know may know dealing with such issues can be detrimental to ones health. [/QUOTE]
