These are all the typical reasons that we usually see when we whiff. If Akok walked away from UCONN thinking it's a better school for him (no matter the reason) then we didn't do a good enough job selling our school/fit as better.
If UCONN had joined the ACC and had a HOF coach, I'd actually buy this stance.
They won a ‘ship after Calhoun too. To be quite honest, we’ve not been too impressive (outside of 1 season) since the Big East collapsed either. Obviously we hadn’t fallen apart like uconn has, but this “edge” we have over uconn isnt as large as some people believe.
Like I said...I think we overplay the ACC thing. That's not the only thing that appeals to kids and if u are a highly rated recruit with NBA dreams then ur gunna make it wherever u go. Not just syracuse. I personally love JB and he could do no wrong in my eyes but maybe some kids dont connect well with the old geezer? Uconn has a young fiery coach that's trying to prove himself. Every kid wants something different.
If I wanted to make it to the NBA I'd pick a conference/team that made the tournament, played the top competition, and had more television coverage. That isn't UCONN.
Hurley gets a few top recruits and they will make the tournament. That's all kids carr about is having a chance to play in the dance. I dont think it's far fetched to think they will have a turnaround in the next couple years. Doubt they are just going to crumble.
They're not crumbling because they're landing the guys we're recruiting!!!
This sounds like a kid that has been consistent throughout his entire recruitment...not giving away too much. Sounds like we are getting our visit and if that's so, hes not coming just to tell our coaches in person hes picking uconn...sounds like we will have our shot!
Sure. But until it's official, meh.
No, let’s overreact here first.
fwiw, and wth do I know, but I give little weight to that report
