Message: [QUOTE="maineuconnfan, post: 2094756, member: 2892"] The thing about a lot of the criticism of ollies recruiting is really so ridiculous. I was just watching a bit of the first couple games of the season to get a feel for Larrier and Gilbert, and what they bring to the table. Those guys are really talented. People can say "well, they lost their first two games with them." But many times, teams with new parts struggle early on. UConn would have been quite good this year with them. Gilbert and Adams, would have hands down, been the best backcourt in the league this year and one of the best in the country. Just think, around this time last year, he anticipated having all of those recruits, plus Hamilton. really we were a couple of injuries and a bad decision by hamilton away from being a top 10 team. Just think(believe me I know hypotheticals and could have been, should have been means nothing) but if we had a starting lineup of Gilbert, Adams, Hamilton, Larrier and Brimah with Purvis, Facey, Vital, Jackson, Enoch and Durham off the bench. Really, a lot of bad breaks this year for UConn. [/QUOTE]
