Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5289630, member: 7511"] So I listened to the entire interview and I have a couple comments: [LIST] [*]Cori does some rationalization, particularly when it comes to transfers, the portal and NIL. When she suggests that UCLA had, “too much talent” and she’s “happy with 10 players,” I get the feeling she would be happier with Geno or Dawn’s roster. [*]Also, her suggestion that 11 of 13 families were unhappy with next year’s NIL package, even though they were all increased seems really bizarre. I cannot imagine that kind of pushback happening at UConn. [*]I was surprised that she made such a big deal of UConn not cutting down the nets at the regionals. Evidently, she doesn’t know that UConn never cuts down the nets at the regionals [*]Finally, her discussion of inches comes directly from Al Pacino’s character in the movie Any Given Sunday, where he is the HC. Before the championship game he charges up his team by calling for them to fight for every inch, the inches being all around them. [/LIST] Cori’s 10 player team will be very good next year. They could well end up in the FF. They could meet the Huskies again. But Geno’s teams have been fighting for and winning those extra inches for 40 years, and if UConn meets UCLA in the FF again, I strongly suspect the Huskies will both win those extra inches and cut down the nets. :) [/QUOTE]
