Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3169248, member: 1131"] Any recruit should easily see that good posts at UConn (Rebecca, Tina, Stef, Azura) get a lot of passes and score a lot of points. If they can get assists from Paige / Nika / Evina, they should be able to rack up huge scoring numbers. However, you are correct that Geno will expect any 6-4 or taller players also to get a major volume of rebounds at both ends of the court. Those who don't want to get their uniforms dirty in the paint will not get a lot of minutes. There seem to be an increasing number of players who, despite their height, really don't want to do that (e.g., A'ja Wilson, KLS, even possibly Kalani Brown). They are going to have a tough time with Geno (and he with them) if they try to maintain that attitude in a UConn uniform -- which, fortunately, Lou did not (to her great benefit for her WNBA career).
