Development of incoming freshman

[Charliebball]

OR MAYBE, Geno acts like other big time college coaches and if he does not like a Freshman he treats her like
However, our boy Geno acts like a gaffone and nothing happens, people on this site even praise him for his honesty. What a joke!!!!!

wow................that's the first time I've ever seen that Italian slang word in writing............I always thought it was gavone.................it just goes to show that you can learn something new on the BY every day.........

Are you saying that EDD left because Geno was mean to her as a freshmen, or that he benched her or didn't give her enough playing time????

She was not happy at uconn

That’s true. But he did play Walker and Coombs relatively early yesterday, so their practice must have been acceptable It seems as though when they didn’t do some things he wanted, they were benched. It might have been possible for him to tell them what they needed to correct and put them back in. Of course he has his history that makes us look ridiculous to suggest other choices he can make. It is kind of interesting, though, to see other much less heralded frosh come in against us and seem to be more relaxed than our kids.

We are all somewhat frustrated by the way he uses and develops the bench. But we are wrong. Hard as that is to swallow. Coach Geno has what is called, " track record." And we cannot argue with his level of achievement. He knows what he is doing. Whether we like it or not, is immaterial. In the end, when the championship banner is waving, we shall all jump for joy.

I don't think that was the issue with EDD. She had/has a disabled sibling with whom she wanted to maintain proximity . She was only "unhappy" with UCONN to the extent that it was a long distance from where she wanted to be. And the limelight and travel demands of UCONN are further distancing. Delaware was home. Where she wanted and needed to be.

Agree on the joy part. Might work out ok this year, a deeper bench would help. Not so sure about next year. But that’s then and this is now.

Almost all the talented frosh who took that big sophomore leap had more meaningful minutes than any of this class., including Walker and definitely Coombs. We loose two heavyweights, especially on D and steadiness. Who know how next years class will perform. But Geno has his ways and it seems to work out.
