But cannot complain about two Top 10 ranked HS player verbals. <br /> <br />If the 6'5" potential transfer does play 3 years for UConn, it might signal that Auriemma does not have a good feel for signing 2015 or 2016 HS post targets. <br /> <br />If UConn does sign the 2 verbals from 2015 and possibly signs 2 more, the Huskies would have a great core on paper for life after Stewart. That time will be here before we know it. <br /> <br />I find it interesting that several Top 10-20 HS players are still willing to sign with UConn, given Auriemma's history of tightening the rotation to 7 by conference tournament and 6 by the Elite Eight.<br /> <br />After a full season of UConn practices and games under the watchful eye of the best WCBB coaching staff, it is puzzling that year after year the bench players are allegedly not good enough to earn Auriemma's trust for 1 or 2 minutes of relief time per half.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
