Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4750366, member: 730"] Since 2017 UConn has had to use inexperienced players as starters and as part of the rotation. Geno would mention in early season interviews how he had to spend so much time teaching the freshmen that he was forced to simplify his schemes in preseason. He went on to say that once the season started there wasn't time to add new aspects. This year he has a slew of experienced veterans and even though some of them have missed time, they have all been in the gym for practices for 2 or three years. They will skim over the first 20 pages of "How we play at UConn" and get into the finer points quickly. That will make it tougher for the freshmen but the fans will benefit with a more sophisticated team, able to adjust on the fly to anything the opposition does. [/QUOTE]
