In addition, their respective playing times are reduced because of the blowouts. But, they say Geno will make you a better player.Originally posted by RUCONN:
no idea how he keeps recruiting these kinds of players, they literally only play 2 big teams a year if i was a top player i wouldnt want to spend my four years playing tulane, houston, east carolina, and usf
their only big games are in march...it doesnt matter who they schedule nonconference because they are going to run thru the AAC because it's so midmajor and even worse than midmajor in wbb.....it is ridiculous it's like Royce Gracie fighting white beltsOriginally posted by Ewecon:
Well, they schedule some good OOC games, so I don't agree about them only playing 2 big games a year, but I certainly get your point. That said, recruits go to UConn because there's always a good chance they play their six "big" games at the end of the season, and regardless of the caliber or competition, Geno makes them better. There's no question that the AAC is extremely weak (and I'm being kind....although the rest of the conference pretty well matched), but honestly, was it much different when UConn was in the Big East?.....with several years being exceptions, of course. I wish I could put myself in the mind of a recruit. Must be a very difficult decision....do I go to a school where I'll play good teams and be a star on my team, or do I go to a school where I'll be like everyone else, get less playing time, but have a chance to win a NC? The lure of winning it all is very strong for young kids.
I have my fingers crossed that we get out of this horrible situation in a few years. In the meantime, I still hold a smidgeon of hope that the AAC somehow improves. There was a time when the Big East wasn't very good either, so I hang my hopes on that fact.
Good luck today. That NW game should have your team looking for blood.
