In hindsight basically all of these departures were additions by subtraction because their replacements have proven to be better players, or else better fits for the UConn team and Hurley's system. You can't really look at any of these guys and say, "wish we had them back." In the case of Diggins and Brown, I think these were 2 cases of poor prospect identification. Diggins was highly rated, I think even more than Gaffney, but was probably vastly overrated.
