Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4335142, member: 12088"] The portal has made a lot of changes but I don't think it will fundamentally change WCBB. Lots of players have moved about from one also-ran program to another. Geno, Dawn, and Tara depend on the quality of the coaching to keep the best players interested in playing at these schools. Ice and Ayanna, Ashlynn and KK wanted to come to Storrs because of what they understood it to be, a top-notch program with very demanding coaches. You can't get kids like that from the portal. Even to attract them at all, you have to promise them something they think their previous school wasn't giving them. A few good players can be found in the portal, and some programs can be improved by getting them. But you can't build anything this way. [/QUOTE]
