Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 3753518, member: 9844"] Isn't it interesting how different two classes can be? Megan's class was a huge disappointment. I may not remember all of the details, but Geno had trouble with conditioning (Lexi), confidence (Combs), and attitude (AEH), and Megan was not nearly as good as most #1's, and while she still had significant success, she had to be prodded regarding conditioning as well, and probably didn't share the ball as well as I had hoped. Now this year's class might have problems too, time will tell, but forgetting for a moment their natural abilities, this year's class seems different in so many other ways from Megan's class. From the few comments we do hear, it appears that Geno doesn't have to install, encourage or develop positive traits in this group, most of them were already there. Most seem to have a great work ethic, are very competitive, share the ball, keep themselves in shape, put out effort on defense without being pushed, have character, are willing to learn, and abandoned a me first attitude from the moment they arrived on campus. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but Geno seems to be very very happy coaching this group. It appears they are low maintenance, and more likely to reach their potential than some other classes that may have had significant talent, but came up short in other important ways. Geno knows and has seen the difference over his career. Geno has also commented on next year's class, not just about their talent, but what exceptional people they were. Sometimes you get talent without character, or character without talent, when you get both you really should be happy. [/QUOTE]
