Agreed--not looking to be argumentative with you or two3zone, I just disagree with you on what uconn's new normal is.

I'll also disagree that we weren't a lock.  People need to recognize that Lunardi isn't any more insider nor accurate than a Mel Kiper--knowledgeable, sure, but an outsider without any true insight into each committee's deliberations and what they emphasize.  So just because he predicted that we were out doesn't mean that we actually were.

The committee placed us comfortably in, based upon our seeding.  Just to be clear, I'm not happy about being a 10 seed [had we won against FSU or Pitt, I think we would have been in line for more like a 6 seed]. Starting 0-4 in conference, the 4-5 Hopkins debacle, etc. really undermined what could have been a season that far exceeded most board prognostications, given this team's limited upside.

Last year sucked.  I don't dispute that we weren't fast tracking.  That year and this year have been our two worst teams in a decade.  Next year, I think we will be top 10 wire-to-wire.

As for uconn's recruiting class, time will tell.  They are losing several key players from this year's squad, so a good year next season is no sure thing.  I know one thing: I wouldn't trade places with them.
