Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4291807, member: 11664"] I think that the Geno and staff are busy in the portal as we speak. And that's why they're waiting before making an offer to Lou, to see who else may be available. They're probably contacting players to gauge their interest. And just like a professional sports team, they have a draft board that's their wish list of the best available players that they hope to recruit in a pecking order. I'm sure that Geno intends to give the freshmen some PT, but I doubt that he's counting on them being ready to play at the highest level right away. And if he can improve the team's talent then he will. If he doesn't improve the team then it's on him how much of a chance that UConn has of reaching next year's FF. Other teams will be trying to recruit the best available players in the portal, and I doubt that Geno wants UConn or Paige & company to be let down. Geno has as much of a desire to win as anyone, probably more so because it's his job and his legacy that he wants to preserve. Geno may even be considering "game ready" European superstar recruits too. As far as next year, it's one game at a time, same as always. Always be prepared for the worst that can happen while hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
