49ers..Braves..Celtics
Did I say our football program was done? Well, you can add basketball to that as well. A lot of people do not realize what happened here. Calhoun took a program that was shyt and turned it into a national power on his OWN merits.

Yes, academically UConn is a real solid university now.. much better than they were prior to coach's arrival but it is not going to be a selling point to athletes. There is literally nothing in Storrs at all. It's the sticks brehs.. There's a ton of fine females but that's any university with 20,000 students.

It's probably over. :to:

You should follow Kevin Duffy at either twitter or his blog regarding Ollie's relationship with recruits. I'm not saying Ollie is going to duplicate Calhoun's success, but he is going to recruit, and that's 75% of college basketball right there.

Big East basketball is about to fall all the way off. LOL at losing 3 marquee schools within 2 years (Uconn, Syracuse, and Pitt).

Not necessarily a marquee school in basketball, but we also lost a contender in WVU and Huggy Bear, too :to:
