It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out.  If UConn doesn't land in a power conference, they may be able to sustain some degree of success.  They still have things to sell recruits.  The Big East made them, and then in return they helped make the Big East.  It is true of all of the successful teams from the Big East.  Georgetown, St. Johns, Villanova and Syracuse built the foundation.  UConn, Syracuse and Georgetown built the first floor.  And Louisville, UConn and Syracuse built the second floor.  A few other teams contributed at different times, and I am probably missing a huge contributor, but you get the gist.  Anyway, UConn, love them or hate them, has some cache, and they may be able to sustain their success if things go well.  Or they may fade away, who knows?  I just know that Syracuse is in a strong position to sell itself to recruits.  Calhoun and Ollie may HAVE to have an eye for diamonds in the rough, because that may be the best they can get, with the occassional sniff from a top 40 recruit.
