Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3947946, member: 199"] I think it is a valid point of view in a vacuum and from outside a program to question bringing in more bodies to a loaded roster. The negatives: 1. Someone is going to play fewer minutes, whether it is the new body or one of the current roster - that can by itself disrupt team chemistry. 2. The more experience a player has before arriving at Uconn, the more 'bad habits' need to be coached out. 3. The less eligibility a player has, the shorter the coaches have to work with them. 4. The more established players on a roster, the fewer minutes are available for the development of the less established players, likely slowing their development curve. Geno knows all of the above, and he has actually stated he doesn't really like transfer because of the shorter development time, and the bad habits issue listed above. So, knowing all that, he still reached out to Dorka and recruited her. And he knows what he has on the team, and all the 'negative' aspects listed above of taking a transfer, and yet here she is. So is he a stupid coach making yet another bad decision, or does he maybe know what he is doing? I would be in Oldude's camp of 'not needed' as a fan and looking from outside. But I am in Geno's corner in thinking him much better informed, much wiser, and much more experienced - so ... Dorka is just what this team needed! Brilliant move! Coach is a genius!
