In terms of Mr. Orozco and he should not be starting due to the eye test. My friend I'm familar with the eye test when I have my four month check up but what is the eye test for basketball that you speak of? Orzco wouldnt start for half of the DIv I teams out there? Really, well everyone is entitled to their opinon. Your right in terms of I can not publish stats that say Orozco should be starting but then again I'm not at every practice seeing what the coaching staff sees day in an day out. So I assume if they start him it is for what he has earned in practice. Now I am confused as to how do other kids start as freshmen sometimes on very good teams from day one with no stats to back them up? Are these coaches using their high school stats? You will need to clairfy this for me my friend.

In terms of the UNH recruiting class I take it your argument is a lot of people think UNH's classes isnt as good as everyone else so it is not. Please remember my friend many people thought Mitt Romney was going to be elected presdient and we all know how that worked out. But being a guy from Vermont I would assume sir you stand with President Obama!

In terms of these players I choose to keep that to my vest for now my dear friend. I received that information from a source I want to keep me in the loop about the UNH Basketball program. In terms of any of the other coaches for UVM being there for UNH nothing there excited me and I was surprised at not a lot of quality interest in the UVM program. If UNH decides Herrion needs to go I think we need some one with a background from a Patriot League or IVY league school that knows how tough it is to recruit at a school that puts a value on academics before all else.

In terms of recruiting. Am I correct in that TJ's only other option was a DIV II school or was that Mike Tromboli? Let's be honest here you got lucky with Tyalor falling into your laps and had no idea how that would work out. Many people missed the boat on him for whatever reason but your team was consistantly stuck in the middle for years of the Tommy Brennan era which was what 15-16 years of being mediocore until he got lucky with Taylor and TJ? Let's be honest Herrion is not going away and I think we need to let the season play out especially the conference season and see where the Cats are. Well my friend I hope this response finds you well and warm on this cold winter day!

Orozco did start but Herrion thought he was only good enough for 5 minutes in the UCONN game. Herrion sees him every day in practice and decided he was only worth 5 minutes in that game. That should say quite a bit. Not sure the last time a starter played 5 minutes for UVM barring injury. Maybe Orozco got hurt???

As far as the Mitt Romney statement goes I think more people thought Obama would get reelected. Let's say it was 55% of the people thought Obama would maybe 60%. The percentage of people who think UNH's recruiting class is better than most of the other recruiting classes in the AE is around 10% if that. My argument wasnt just that most people think other AE teams have better recruiting classes. MY main point is that most D1 coaches think the recruits are better and it's proven by the offers recruits get. YOU STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE OTHER SCHOLLY OFFERS THAT UNH RECRUITS GET? Maybe the answer is too embarrassing to put. IDK. I know I remember not hearing much hype of any of the UNH recruits.

As far as UVM goes They were mediocre yes. I'm not sure what kind of offers TJ and Taylor received. Good coaches find hidden gems especially at the AE level. Blakely was very under recruited as well. We won 20 games with TJ as a freshmen. We won an AE championship with Taylor as a soph and no TJ. UVM put some very good role players around these guys that allowed them to win very early in their career. IF UVM was mediocre having a winning season 4-7 years than UNH is bad and hasnt even reached mediocre yet. UNH is striving to be mediocre right now since it hasnt had a winning season in 7 years.

You can respond if you want but I'm hoping for a little more substance and less beating around the bush and where's the proof responses.
