    2010-11 Big East thread


    We move on quickly!

    Looks like Willard made a good first impression on the Seton Hall kids who were thinking about leaving early...

    Re: 2010-11 Big East thread

    I know a lot of UConn fans were disappointed that we couldn't get any of the top recruits like Knight or Lamb. Some of them are still holding hope that we can land Leslie, but I highly doubt it. I'd rather go into next season as underdogs anyways. Knowing that if we got Knight or Lamb, we would have been favorites to win the Big East IMO. If Oriakhi improves as a sophomore and Ater lives up to half of his hype coming into the season, the Huskies will be a much better team than last year's.

    I believe last year's our main weakness was lack of leadership. The talent was there, I just don't think that the players who were supposed to be leaders took the responsibilities seriously (I'm talking to you, Jerome Dyson and Stanley Robinson).

      Pretty bad article about Calhoun's current contract situation and his future with the school. Only thing of relevance is that it seems to confirm the fact that a major issue between Calhoun and the AD is Calhoun's role in choosing a successor.

      There have been rumors that the school wants to wipe its hands clean of Calhoun and his coaching tree once he retires. They will basically murder the program if this happens (we're f'd anyway, no school survives the departure of a legend: UNC, Indiana, UCLA, Kentucky, Louisville, etc) in part because all the alums in the NBA, who are already aren't fond of the AD and don't donate much, will end their relationship with the school. Their loyalty is to Calhoun, not UConn. The school will practically need to start from scratch with an outside coach and we know how well that went for the schools I mentioned above.

      JC's current 6-year deal expires on June 30 and he still hasn't signed his 4-year extension that's supposedly been "all but done" since last summer. Not a good sign that this thing has been dragged out for 8-9 months.

        Those kids should be coming back to school regardless of who the coach is.

          Why? If they don't like the coach they should roll..

              LOL, that is written very oddly.

                Heart issue. Very serious. Keep the kid in your thoughts.

                  So Calhoun got his new 5-year deal. Glad to see that.

                  Seton Hall had all three early-entrants withdraw from the draft. If Willard can get that team to play semi-intelligent basketball they could be the sleeper of the Big East next year.

                    Jamine Peterson has been kicked off the team at PC. He was one of the biggest surprises in the conference last year. Wonder where he'll transfer to.

                      UConn has a press conference tomorrow with news on the NCAA's investigation. Assistants Pat Sellars and Beau Archibald have resigned. Former assistant, and current Quinnipiac head coach Tom Moore has been cleared according to his lawyer, which is interesting because up until now it had seemed like he was the main person being investigated.

                      Rumors of Donyell Marshall and Kevin Ollie joining the staff. Ollie was spotted on campus a couple of days ago.

                        Sucks that this is the way to go but we needed some new assistants badly. Player development and recruiting have slipped in the last five years.

                          Yup, could be a blessing in disguise if the penalties don't end up being too bad.
