[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 137175, member: 216"] Honestly, this makes it harder for me to be a college basketball fan. Admittedly, I was not a huge bball fan in the first place, but I did enjoy following GT basketball and would try to lightly follow the overall college basketball season. I was a GT senior in '04, so that made me take a much bigger interest for a while. Now, I am completely apathetic to college basketball and barely follow GT basketball at all. As a fan, you don't get to build any sort of "relationship" with the team/players. Following recruiting doesn't matter because a significant number of those guys are going to either be 1-and-done, transfer, or be non-contributors. I've found for the past few seasons, I can't even keep up with who our guys are or where they came from. The statement becomes stronger when talking about following college basketball in general. Maybe I'm not the norm - I hope so because I want to sport to remain a strong one. But, it seems to me it would be so much better from a competition perspective for it to be more like football (or more like bball used to be) where you knew all of the players for your team and most of the players for the other teams from year to year. The "connection" aspect seems to be severely lacking in the sport. [/QUOTE]
