"And I've got a shot at getting these kids, because they know the Big Ten. Maybe Michigan's not recruiting them for basketball, but they're pretty good players, we can jump right in there as a Big Ten program." "And now," he added, "we go all the way to the West Coast." "He's a great kid, he can really shoot the basketball," Pikiell said of Spencer. "He's got a good toughness about him. When he first came here, everyone questioned, 'Can he play at this level?' Early on, he struggled a little bit. Once he figured it out, he was a good player." Spencer is also a deft passer with a high basketball IQ. He may not be known for the in-your-face defense Hurley loves, but that may not be as necessary on a deep UConn squad. "I had to have him do a lot of things," Pikiell noted. "We don't have as many guys as UConn does. We're still not as sexy as UConn is. We're getting a little sexier, so we can attract some more of those guys."[/I] In Chrome right click and click on "Open link in incognito window". Webpage archive is down.
