    The Geno A Show: Episode 1

    The whole thing is much ado about nothing. Saw the thread and then I watched the show twice and was still trying to find out what people were complaining about.

    OT ESPN to Lose 75 Million to Televise one NFL Wildcard Game

    Slight apples to oranges comparison going on as a free broadcast network will inherently have more viewers just based on not everyone having cable. cable viewers are viewed slightly different vs free broadcast in ratings. ESPN monday night football is weekly the top rated tv show on cable and...

    New Comments from Geno Re Short Bench

    UConn struck out on the recruits on their wish list besides Dangerfield in 2016, hence Irwin and Bent. Inosecu and others were on the recruiting board. 2017 Geno got all his recruits. 2018 they have Collier and are really working Smith hard by many reports. Geno doesn't strike out much, but...

    New Comments from Geno Re Short Bench

    Bent and Irwin are going to be shuffled to garbage time status next year. Bent is not playing over Gordon, AEH, Walker, and Irwint is going to be behind Camara, Stevens and Coombs. Coombs though listed as guard I think will be used as a small forward, defensive ball hound and will progress...

    Katie Lou — Record Breaker

    It's also about efficiency beyond minutes. She will have to be really efficient. Look at last game she got just 12 shots. That's always what keeps UConn great scorers down from what they would be at other schools b/c you don't get as many shots. Stewie only avg like 14 shots/game last year...

    Katie Lou — Record Breaker

    50 game mark comparing KML and KLS is a bit deceptive. KML really heated up on 3's 2nd half of her soph year. KML frosh 93 soph 118 jr 66 sr 121 = 398. KLS frosh 78 soph (128 pace based on 38 games) that would still put her behind KML after 2 years by 5. KML only had 66 3's jr year...

    New Comments from Geno Re Short Bench

    Geno surely is not expecting Bent or Irwin to light things up. He wants to get to the point where you can put them in and not have then screw up. ..ie trust. Give good minutes to rest people, play defense and run the offense up to their talent limitations. Make the simple plays, not have bad...

    AP is out - with a lot of changes

    You do know it's impossible to do SOS for a full season now. SOS done correctly changes as each game occurs and is based on your opponents and opponents opponents. For example if teams you beat in november who were ranked high under perform and lose 10 games, it changes your SOS. SOS is...

    AP is out - with a lot of changes

    No it's not. UConn's SOS is #1 now it will plummet b/c of the conf schedule. They will play 1 ranked team in conference. For example, B12,teams will play at least 5 and they play every team twice. Geno is scheduling a harder OOC b/c he knows the conference will not be a challenge at all...

    New Comments from Geno Re Short Bench

    Geno will have no concerns next year. The short bench was part bad luck of people not panning out. Ekmark, Boykin and Edwards.

    AP is out - with a lot of changes

    You can thank the NC legislature. ironically the games are moving to South Carolina who had not held NCAA games for decades b/c of the confederate flag.

    Baylor has played 7 games OOC that are questionable, 1 or 2 lower conference teas is okay, but 7 is ridiculous..

    U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

    UConn really doesn't need any more guards until Class of 2019, unless they think somebody in the 2017 Class will transfer. The only guard in 2018 class would be Williams and that's just b/c she's #2 ranked player. They will have a log jam of wings, guards if people pan out. I think 2018 class...

    The Geno A Show: Episode 1

    Exactly, Exactly, people no what they are getting when you sign with Geno. UConn also looks at kids that they think can handle it and the general UConn perfection ethic, which can be rough at times. There are tons of clips over years of him really getting on players. People need to go...

    AP is out - with a lot of changes

    AAC is a step down. The toughness of the current schedule is based on OOC. AAC will be a cake walk with just USF ranked. UConn would win any P5 conference, like they did in the old BE with good teams like ND, UL, etc..But in a P5 there would be more than 1 ranked team to play in conference...

    Scary dropoff in play after first five

    They don't need to contribute more than not being so bad that Geno gets ticked off and pulls them and plays the starters more. Geno in conference wants to keep the starters in the 25 to 28 minute/game range. Next year Bent and Irwin will become garbage time reserves. 4 great recruits coming...

    AP is out - with a lot of changes

    I would put S Carolina #2 b/c they have played a tougher OOC. Baylor schedule is ranked 127 as of now and SC is #8

    This year's team tougher than last year's team?

    Last years team were lead by 3 seniors that had developed toughness physically and mentally the years before. People seem to forget those players in their early years. Moriah was erratic, out of control, and hesitant shooting. Tuck battled injuries and developing her post game. Geno road...

    The Geno A Show: Episode 1

    This is classic Geno. You should go back and see the clips on the stuff he said to Stewie. Geno always has a love/hate relationship with the truly great players. He rides them to the point they literally hate him, but they as great players understand why and appreciate it come jr and sr year...

    Three Teams Are Undefeated (Updated)

    The streak that matters is championships. 2017 Class are going to have the luxury of not really being depended on to win games or have a ton of pressure to be great right from the start. There are so many starters returning and Stevens will be eligible. 2017 Class is going to be like 2015...

    Running the Gantlet at 12-0

    UConn for the game shot their season % in FG and 3's %. The only thing down was free throws. They were fortunate MD only shot 25% as a team from 3's or it's a likely loss. Only Slocum made a 3 on the entire team

    You can kid but they are making mistakes bad HS teams don't make. Stupid turnovers for absolutely no reason, such as inbounds, no effort on box outs, Collier can't make a lay up or a 5 ft shoot, etc...

    It is Time to Change the Game

    The easiest thing to do to bring a little more parity is to reduce scholarships which would distribute more of the better players around WCBB. It had a huge effect on college football. It prevented top programs from stacking 5 star recruits. The NCAA could redistribute the reduced WCBB...

    2017-2018 Out of Conference Schedule

    Geno has done more than enough in advancing the game, he always took it seriously. He let's other coaches come to see how he runs the program and practices. He's giving up part of the "secret sauce".

    2017-2018 Out of Conference Schedule

    2018-2019 will be soon enough and the Super Sophs(KLS and Pheesa) will be Super Seniors with Stevens....The Big 3...heck of a front court. Crystal on the point and Walker at the 2. Gordon, AEH, Coombs as Sophs and C. Collier plus the rest of her frosh class...Plus the rest of the bench.

    What's the likelihood of going undefeated? (2)

    If UConn goes undefeated it would be demoralizing for the rest of WBB or even if they lose one game, but win the NC. UConn will have to have an absolutes stinker game to lose in conference. Whether they enter NCAA's undefeated is down really to 2 game...Maryland and S Carolina. If the other...

    2017-2018 Out of Conference Schedule

    Geno always played a good OOC. it is even more important now as they really don't get tough games in conference. In the old big East they had ND twice, Louisville, etc..Then the Conference Tourney where you see those tough teams possibly a third time.

    2017-2018 Out of Conference Schedule

    That was more that none of the P5's wanted to play them or make any effort in their scheduling. Cowards move like Syracuse not wanting to play but for a short trip UConn didn't mind playing Colgate, not much cost. They can schedule a game close to Sparx when they play UCLA. Play on game...

    2017-2018 Out of Conference Schedule

    8 games scheduled, Gabby home coming makes 9. So 4 opponents left. I could see 1 or more games vs ACC schools and/or B10. Currently only 1 opponent from each of those conferences. Only 1 of games likely against a non P5. Already have Duquesne and speculation on Nevada for Gabby. Didn't...
