I think time has shown that we can have a very strong hoops program without relying upon the Death of Uconn. There will always be somebody else out there. In the course of the BE we have seen Georgetown, St Johns, UConn, & Pitt all have turns on the top. It is weird that we always were there throughout the rise & fall of others, but somehow, we never seemed to have a dominent multi-year intraconference stretch. We have easily been the most consistant BE program.

I am glad for us that we have made our move. I am very optimistic that the move will work out well for us.

As to our BE brethern, I do not wish any of them poorly.
Over time our rivalries with those schools will diminish and fall by the wayside. It will matter less & less to us who they are & how they do.

As to recruiting, this move should make our footprint expand deeper into the South and more strongly into the DC - MD - VA area. We will always be tough in the NE. We can't take em all anyways - plenty to go around.

Forward going, best to focus on Duke & NC rather than on UConn.
