Dan Shaughnessy dissed UConn in The Globe. . .

[trb123]

Well unfortunately for UCONN fans, that's not true. We missed out on Lauren Cox, A'ja Wilson, Brianna Turner, LaJanna Drummer, Asia Durr, Joyner Holmes, Sabrina Ionescu, Tori McCoy, and if you read the tea leaves, it's less than 50-50 that we land Walker. And that's just in the past 3 years. If UCONN did land Wilson, Durr, Holmes/Cox, Ionescu, in addition to what we have, it would be insane the talent. Next year I'd say we are one of the favorites, but it's highly possible we won't win the NC. So no, Dan, every great high school girl does not want to play for Geno...

I am under the impression that McCoy wanted to come to UCONN but Geno did not extend an offer. Please let me know if this is true.

The scary part and most interesting is Geno's comment at the very end: "Whether those teams get better or not, it doesn't matter. Next year we are coming back to their level. That will make everything a little more competitive." Sounds like Geno is not very optimistic about the streak continuing very long next year. Bummer. I have been really enjoying it.

Come on! He's losing the 2 best players in the country.

I have no specific knowledge either way on that account.

I have no specific knowledge either way on that account.

But wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall during those home visits? Especially the ones where Geno and the parents are like oil and water. No more mboard speculation because you would know exactly who dissed who(m?).

And I'm not sure when Barmore left Baylor but he was an assistant to Kim recently.

Leon retired for good at the end of the 2010-2011 season. He said his wife wouldn't move to Waco and he missed his grand-kids.

So he has been retired for just about 5 years now. I don't think he was ever part of anything that caused UConn to end up in the AAC. I don't think the Big 12 necessarily was dictating anything.
