Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou’re so cute with your Yankee United optimism. UConn is sliding downhill and picking up speed. Their recruiting is D2 level at best. OW, AFC and YU instead of FC Stars and PDA. Hell, she only got one CFC kid to stay, and that was her Glastonbury connection. Only a new coach will get them out of this mess, and it will take a few years to clean the slate.
They barely beat CCSU last fall, who had the lead for a good part of the game, and you think going against PC and Nova is going to be their cake walk? Something tells me YOU don’t know much.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostNova and PC stink. Lol. At least CCSU was up on Georgetown at HT in the NCAAs before losing 3-1. UConn will run the Big East soon enough other than GTown. Their recruiting was tied to a poor conference. That will change now. PC not at all happy about UConn returning.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTheir recruiting had nothing to do with being in the AAC v. the Big East. If UCONN is the "right" school for a kid -- academics, level of play, coaching staff, potential for PT, cost after assistance offered, etc. -- that they play in one non-P5 conference instead of another non-P5 conference hardly matters. Maybe BE allows for a few closer games, but they'll still be flying to Chicago, Cincinnati and Milwaukee to play mediocre teams. UCONN's recruiting impediments are far more fundamental, and BE membership won't change that.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostUConn coach showed interest in my daughter, but she had higher aspirations. It is a big commitment to play d1 soccer. If your kid ends up buried on the depth chart because she is over her head, or playing, but on a team that has no shot at winning much, all the practice, lifting, treatment and travel time, etc is not worth it, unless you are at your dream school. Full ride for an in state student in ct is not enough to do a four year bid in storrs.
Good luck wasting money on your "higher aspiration" ID camps!!!

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostOK snob. Higher learning or not D1 level player? What is interest? An email to camp or a visit and offer? It is good enough for many talented athletes in numerous sports, but not yours???? showed interest is funny...haha
Good luck wasting money on your "higher aspiration" ID camps!!!
Ps....i never said that for other sports and for lessor academic student athletes that UConn isn’t a nice option.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWith a 4-14 record and 216th rank, there are plenty of of soccer programs that are stronger than UCONN and that also have good academics. Even the 100s there's Colgate, Dartmouth, CO College, Rice, Harvard, GW, Bucknell, a few good state schools....let alone in the top 100. Not a stretch whatsoever.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCompletely ignorant comment. Explain why then, that UConn was a consistent power while in the Bug East? Reached a National Final. Same school. Same academics. Same coaches. The slide began with the conference change. Yes, a few good programs joined the ACC, but the BE is still a solid soccer conference and more importantly has name recognition that will attract students. I expect that UConn will blow past PC in relatively short order.
