Re: Thabeet and Mick

I disagree, at least about using the term "litmus test."  Not to bash Huggins, but we were losing the same battles with him also.  I think it's positive that we're losing recruits to UConn as opposed to lesser schools that we did during the C-USA years.  To me, it demonstrates that the level of talent we are recruiting is improving.

since everyone started from the same point with Thabeet. This wasn't a
recruit that was being pursued for years by UConn. How many years will it
take before we will be winning recruiting battles with the big boys?
Hopefully Mick's strong recruiting abilities apply to the top recruiting
circles not just the mid-major ones (UC was in a mid-major conference the
last time he was here).
