Choosing UConn.

you had to write all this from my post that said for some players age might be a factor WOW!!

No worries. Happy to do so.

let’s be honest, it doesn’t take an opposing coach to tell a player that GA is 71 and i’m sure
for some of the 2026 class it’s a consideration

It doesn't but I bet many coaches do.......

chill out did u actually read what i wrote!
i simply said that for SOME players age
MIGHT be a factor
somehow u fell compelled to go on a rant about past recruits etc

Yep I read what you wrote, and put out there what for the some players age is irrelevant until it's put in their ear. So I picked a segment of what you wrote and answered that part. You want a rant, and consider what I wrote a rant, bless you, not willing to get into it with you.

I have posted several times that Olivia is a perfect fit for Uconn. With Geno and Chris to coach her, she'll be an AA player and would come aboard when JANA is a senior and could learn from her also. I am 100% against the saying Uconn gets all the best players. In reality Uconn DEVELOPS THE BEST PLAYERS!! Everyone talks about Uconn having a BIG, when Qlivia come on board we will have 3 BIGS. With that i have a thought, GENO once said he wanted to win a NC. Then he added you want to win another and added then you want to win a third. With Olivia and the future roster Geno might sign another 5 year contract and want more. He's healthy enough... GO HUSKIES!!!!!

So NC's are a lot like potato chips?

I check the board daily for recruiting news and am hopeful that Kayleigh Heckel chooses UConn, BUT my real interest is where Olivia will be electing to go to school. Both players would be great additions to the program but after watching "O" in Springfield its a no brainer not to think that she will change the teams entire landscape. Her presence in the front court along with the already projected starters would be scary.

Hopefully, Nika has already persuaded her, Croatian to Croatian.

For any idiot who would try to use Geno's age against him I have only one reply - Coach of the 2025 National ChA

One point that recruits likely consider that is not always mentioned is UConn's history of making final 4's. Many teams come and go as evidenced by Notre Dame this past year. A great team for much of 2024-25 but somewhat thin and faded at year end. Struggling to get Top 10 plays for next few fews. UConn is stacked the upcoming 3 years and no matter who the coach is, will likely be there at the end of the season.

While I fully expect Geno to be here for many more years, its the NCAA's that often provide players with the fulfillment and publicity they dream of. NIL money at UConn will be competitive but 99% of all athletes compete to win. Incredible evidence that UConn women's basketball will meet this need.

Geno will be here at least through Sarah's career. Will he stay through Blanca's? Maybe, if she turns into the next GOAT. I suspect he'll stay for as long as he has the next potential GOAT. Olivia? The only way rival coaches will be able to get him to retire is to out-recruit him.
