Message: [QUOTE="D J B, post: 4092531, member: 11270"] Agree completely. Geno's talk about Paige's defensive play have done nothing but inspire her to be a better defensive player. She even said in a very recent interview when asked about what she has been working on to improve that her defensive game is a high priority for her. Makes sense. She has a ton of respect for Geno, and it shows whenever she talks about him, or when she gives the sass back to him in spades. He's not slapping her, he's nudging her, and they both know it. Geno doesn't recruit thin skinned crybabies. He recruits exceptional tough kids who want to grow and get better. And he also only recruits kids who have character to spare. Everybody knows what the rules are when they commit to UConn. I have certainly seen a tremendous improvement in her defensive play between now and when she first came to Storrs. Some folks just like to get their nose out of joint over anything, likely because it's been broken so many times in the past and it's easy. [/QUOTE]
