If I may ask my esteemed Montana colleague of thread posting, are you stating Geno has an interest in Muhl the Younger or that he should have an interest? :)

I have no idea. A few days ago he said Europe would be a continuing source of recruiting interest. There are those in Europe who have the opinion that Hana is the greater prospect of the two sisters and she was MVP of her league last year. Me, I wish she had more height, but she has Nika's fierce warrior court presence.

Speaking of old Westerns, if Gabby Williams and Tiffany Hayes come back, we can have Gabby Hayes. :D

I'm not sure who talked to Geno about the Euros but Geno seems to like coaching them. Hope the person who recommended them continues to do so. Popovich??

I'm wondering how many guards will Geno and staff recruit in 2022 and 2023. I would like to see Geno recruit a quick athletic guard that can get to the Rim and be a defensive stopper on defense. This team has problems stopping quick guards that drive to the basket. I don't see anyone on the roster and incoming recruits that have the quickness the team should have. Azzi may have in the past, but with her injuries, I'm not sure that she'll be able to keep up with ultra quick guards.

I offer, by way of proud poppa Darko Muhl:



Reminds me of Nika's stats.

On a more serious note, European and Canadian recruits have been a blessing at UCONN. Hardnosed and even more important hardworking. Geno often bemoans the differences between incoming players today versus 20 or so years ago. I suspect the foreign players are close to what he got in the 90's and early 2000's in terms of fundamentals, work ethic, good human beings, etc. He still gets the best "people" from the USA, but the USA recruiting pool of women who meet UCONN's all-round standards is definitely smaller.
