You continue to bring nothing to this forum
Not in the least. Id be ok if this team was out-talented every night but they just aren't competing to the level they are capable of. There are very few teams that have the talent level they do and they are just plain awful, and that right there is infuriating.

Do you really think that? How many of these guys would get minutes on an average UConn team from 94-09?

Boatright was not a top 25 recruit.

Worst defending champion's FAN ever.
Your splitting hairs. Every publication had him in the top 50 and several the top 25. So not really disproving my point. 3 top 35 guys and we are this bad? It's not for a lack of talent.

LMAO Boat was nowhere near the top 25. Hamilton is a freshman. And Purvis is kind of an enigma (with an injured shooting wrist) at this time, as he has given us some pretty big performances.
And besides all that, have you really not yet figured out that rankings mean little? Did you just start watching basketball this year?

Please name 1 that had him in the top 25. ESPN had him at 74. He was ranked 64th in the RSCI.

Dude are you a real UCONN Fan? Enjoy the team and Dham's and AB's development into leaders of the team for next year.

I'll bite.
Boat -- 34 mpg starter
Purvis -- frustrating 20 mpg rotation player, but not a starter and not relied on to carry the load
Hamilton -- 30 mpg, promising starter on a young team; a 22 mpg instant-offense bench guy on a veteran team
Facey -- 10 mpg 4th big
Brimah -- 15 mpg backup C
Samuel -- 5 mpg in-case-of-emergency guard
Cassell -- ditto
OC -- 8 mpg 5th backcourt guy
Nolan -- 2 mpg in blowouts (remember when we used to blow people out?)
Lubin -- 1 mpg in blowouts against cupcakes
That's two possible starters, a few useful but flawed backups, and a bunch of end-of-the-bench guys.

LOL! I have been to 4 of the 5. I just missed the first when I came to Atlanta from Connecticut with little or no money to do anything. Get off your high horse and I drove to 3 of them from Atlanta. Don't ever doubt my fandom. I die for UCONN basketball. I have been following the team since the late 70's and early 80's when they sucked with players like Corny Thompson, Chuck A, Karl Hobbs, and Mike McKay.

You would think if you were such a big basketball fan you would have a clue about the sport.

I'm a realist but I'm not a little whiny bitch. Difference is just that. They aren't that good, you just figure that out ?
