Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 873719, member: 40"] Things are about to get worse for uconn, too. Up until this point, their delusional fanbase was able to cling to the hope that they'd be able to continue recruiting at a high clip, which would stave off their inevitable decline. Here's the rub: up until this point [i.e., this past week], pretty much everyone associated their program with the Big East. Even though they were left out of major conference expansion, there was still an attribution of them "belonging" due to their history in the Big East. Up until this point, recruits viewed uconn through the lens of the past, and envisioned themselves playing against the likes of us, Georgetown, Louisville, Villanova, etc. Now that they are finally playing AAC conference ball, that perception is about to be irrevocably shattered. Wouldn't remotely surprise me to see their recruiting taper off precipitously. [/QUOTE]
