2027 Recruiting: Eve Long

[IndyMark]

I thought @IndyMark meant Geno’s trip out there was a good sign about his own future plans. A coach who recruits aggressively isn’t focused on retiring.

Geno, has flown to Tennessee to see Haylen Ayers and now going to see Eve Long is a great sign of a coach who plans on being here their career.

A couple things to note here, Eve is scheduling official visits, her junior season so she may be trying to get her recruiting done so she can focus on being a senior, and enjoying her last year in high school. She can also, train in things she needs to work on, from the advice of her future coach, so that she could get impactful minutes when she goes to the college of her choice.

I went back and bolded what I was referring to. The lowlife tactic of pushing a kid to shut down their recruitment and commit out of fear that the kid might see a better opportunity if they continue to visit other schools and listen to other coaches.

I get what you mean. High pressure tactics seem out of character for Geno no matter what. My impression is that Kim regularly approaches kids with pressure sales tactics, not only out of that fear, but also to get kids to fear they will be left behind. There were suggestions of this with the way she approached Sarah Strong. I suspect Geno never tries to ‘sell’ UConn to recruits. If the kid doesn’t want to be part of what Geno does, he’s not interested.
