My Pops Forever RIP
college brehs what ever happened to Ollie. Dude was hottest coach and had NBA teams wanting him to not even being mentioned anymore
2 things.

1. His recruiting isn't that good.

2. a possible cause of why his recruiting isn't that good is that they're in the AAC and not the Big East. They can't even sell you on the idea of being a lock for the tourney because teams like Cincy, Memphis, Temple, now Wichita State are there. They can't sell you on being local because the AAC tourney is in Memphis and outside of Temple in Philly, your schedule's not really local, so they don't have the selling point of MSG and the Big East anymore. Keeping it 100, UConn sticks out like a sore thumb in terms of their location. When's the last time you seen UConn on TV? The AAC doesn't really have a spot where you know you can catch their games. Even the A10 has a solid base on NBCSN, Mountain West you can find them on CBSSN, Big East got Fox and FS1 and CBSSN, ESPN and CBS got the other huge conferences, B1G has their own network in addition to everything else. They have a solid top heavy conference but they get lost in the shuffle. Even on the women's side, if Geno didn't schedule the way he does out of conference, you could never take their records seriously now because after their non conference schedule is over, they're basically on vacation til the Sweet Sixteen. At least when UConn was Big East Geno had to face off against Rutgers and shyt.

3. They let Calhoun slide with a lot of shyt. They ain't giving Ollie that leeway :mjpls:
