Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4303823, member: 73"] Agree with you oldude. The portal is not in may cases the answer. For many not all the kids in portal, if they dont play for the team theyre on they most likely wont play for UConn. A fifth year senior may be the answer but many are not. My first question is why are they in the portal? Is it just for playtime? For many yes. It could also be for attitude, not up to speed yet. Alot of reasons. Geno has many top kids who he hand picks. They have to qualify if you will to play for UConn. They have to have the goodies to play for UConn. Think about this....if you bring in another player how does that affect the player who paid their dues waiting for playtime. Most likely they will leave and then what? How will that affect other players on the team. Saylor and Mir left for more playtime. They saw what they thought was the writing on the wall with the players ahead of them and those coming in. IMO that may have been premature but they did what they thought was best for them. Top players go to a school to play not sit. If your good and not playing you can transfer and get the school you like if not then your just sitting in the portal and most likely going to a lesser school to play. Boston is a big big. There arent more the one of two out there and they dont have her skills. My question is why did Boston attend so many UConn games and then go to SC????? Why did Cardoso say she wanted to play for UConn and then go to SC??? Why did Toomey who loved Stewie and UConn go to UNC???? That was a shocker and many are still in disbelief. I dont want to hear its Geno or his recruiting either. UConn and Geno have nothing to prove. Their results are proof. Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
