Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4900016, member: 37"] Good article. These quotes stick out for me. [I]“Cam had been speaking with Rutgers about what the following year was going to look like, and he just wanted to play at the highest level he possibly could play,” Bruce said. “That doesn’t mean Big Ten players don’t make it to the NBA, but for Cameron, for the style of play in the Big Ten and the way he plays the game, and the perception of him as being less athletic than the next kid, being in a more athletic environment to see whether he would sink or swim was pretty important in our eyes.”[/I] I[B]f there ever is a comment to validate the superiority of BE basketball to the Big Ten the above comment does it![/B] [I]Basketball programs become homes away from home. Cam feels at home at UConn. He did from the moment he set foot on campus and got a sense for the vibe. “Blue collar, grinding in the gym, not debating whether somebody's going to be in for a workout today,” Bruce said. “[B]Everybody's all-in[/B]. It just fit him like a glove. We were giddy when we left.” "The Rutgers opportunity was fantastic and he’s very appreciative of it, but I think what he loves about UConn is the way they hold them accountable. Cam is such a driven kid and he loves that part of it. He’s going to work hard and he’s going to be there every day giving you his all. [B]He wants his teammates to be like-minded, and they really are. And the coaches are, for sure.[/B]”[/I] [/QUOTE]
