I used to be firmly parked where both of you seem to be currently-that Geno should cast a wider net in recruiting.  That was until I came to the understanding that the size of the net is determined by that criteria I previously  wrote about. The criteria is simply this: can that player make a contribution at UCONN.   Very rarely does that net extend beyond top 50 players.   That initial catch of 50 is then filtered by interest, by position and skill set, by parents etc. down to possibly or 15-20 who are further evaluated.  Depending on the year 20 or so evaluations results in 3-5 offers per class which results in an acceptance rate of 2-3.5 each year.  2 to 3.5 accepts  per year results in 1.5-2 players from each incoming class being part of the regular rotation which is usually fixed at 6-8.    Resulting in ~1 player/year (usually one not a part of the rotation) transferring.     The limitations should also be fairly obvious.  Rarely does UCONN find a contributor below top 50 ranked players.  Properly evaluating more than 20 players in each class is not manageable among a coaching staff  of 4. 
Should UCONN extend more offers?   To answer my own question not unless you intend to increase the size of the rotation.
