Why cant this program act normal

[Hoophound]

AAC, CUSA, and Sunbelt.

Edit: I should point out, as I have in PMs to others, coaching turnover certainly hasn’t helped. Many of the coaches I emailed came and went very quickly. Retrospectively, some were probably barely recruiting since they had one foot out the door.

Sounds like kids we could have used in the program.

With kids at that level, it is a crapshoot. Again, I don’t blame the staff for not tracking down leads from strangers.

I just don’t buy that it is so hard to recruit to a nationally known university with great success in basketball fueling the name. A school like that should out-recruit most G5 schools. Maybe not Houston or UCF, given the state talent pools they pull from. However, we were better than USF in the Big East most of the time, so I’m not conceding too easily on that either. People are just making excuses for our coaches and administration.

 

[Hornet22]

We don’t need to win a bunch of battles with P5 schools. If we could recruit with the top 30% of G5 schools we’d be fine.

Also, 1 win P5 teams don’t have lively stadiums either. FSU’s stadium looked like UConn last season. People hate losing all the time and they’d rather be elsewhere.

True but you’re forgetting. Even a 1 win P5 team has an advantage because you’ll be playing against some heavy hitters in lively atmospheres. It just matters man.

 

[Hornet22]

Right but no one is saying we should be out-recruiting those schools. Most of the g5 schools aren't consistently playing in front of great atmospheres. Yes, if despite our struggles we were selling out games and having loud atmospheres like we used to, that would help recruiting. That's not realistic though and doesn't happen anywhere with this level of futility.

Totally agree.
It’s not one thing but a cocktail of issues that makes it tough to recruit here.
I do believe it’s getting better and we will be more competitive. You gotta start somewhere

 

[uconnbill]

thats great bill. have you noticed they never win. ever stop to wonder why?

this isn’t coach speak it’s pure idiocy.

it’s diaco level incompetence.

get a clue.

You need to buy a clue, because in your world you are the only one who is correct when in reality, you are just another nobody behind the keyboard.

I trust the coaching staff way more than the dribble I read on here. Again coach Edsall has forgotten more about coaching, than you'll ever know

 

[uconnbill]

Close the lid. They already sealed the program’s fate this summer.

Toe tag time.

Then maybe you should find something else to do, since you seem to think the program is dead.

I just get so tired of the BS on here by all "The Experts".

it’s drivel you mouth-breathing idiot.

loved when you were a ride or die diaco tool.

do you have a setting beyond blindly support losers because they are in charge?

 

[uconnbill]

... ah, not fake news, useless news. Who cares participation list or two deep chart. As long as only 11 line up when the ball is snapped.

because they have nothing else to bitch about, that's why.

This will be like this until next Thursday at 10:30 pm or so. Then maybe we will talk about actually football and not this crap

Name calling, how cool. I bet that made you popular in your pack back in the day lol

Not blind support, but I am waiting to see what happens on the field, unlike you and a few others. Then I will decide what I think about the upcoming season. You just like to bitch, that's a fact. I have a very good friend like you, who does the same thing. Hardcore can tell you about it as well.

Just see what happens before digging the grave for the program

yes, no talk about the football program between the last game of the prior season and the first game of the next season.

its hurts little billy’s feelings.

lol. when they are terrible this year, you and edsall will say they need 15 years to fix the mess.

it wont be until the next guy points out edsall did a terrible job that you’ll admit that edsall 2.0 has been a full-fledged dumpster fire.

it’s real easy though. go out and win some games - prove all the ‘negative’ people wrong. prove the gambling markets wrong. prove the recruiting services wrong.

shut up the critics. beat illinois, indiana, umass, ECU, navy.... ripe for the pickin

The same people who are the most negative are the same people that were the most positive when we were...wait for it...good.

its like they dont remember when apologista was a slur.

i think zoo/wisc named me president of the edsall apologistas

Now we get this:

I banned cell phones. It’s loud.

Will that help you win more games?

I don’t know.


It’s pretty clear he knows what’s up. It you’ve been listening to the guy for 20 years it’s not it’s hard to read between the lines.

He talked up this participation list thing on the amount of comaradarie it will build. #closedfist

the usual suspects say.. not a big deal. who cares. blah blah blah.

there isnt any reason to recreate the wheel: hire good coaches, recruit good talent, coach them up, run your program like adults/professionals.

nonsense like this reeks of every diaco move. looking for stupid angles for the sake of stupid angles because they can’t just do the basics

 

[JMick]

The same people who are the most negative are the same people that were the most positive when we were...wait for it...good.

The fact that this board is still as active as it is, considering how God awful we've been, is a testament that people actually want to give a **** about the program. I love when people act like they're somehow a better fan just because they pretend everything is roses

Equating Edsall with Diaco is absurd.
