Geno looks for many things in a potential recruit. Here's just a couple, and some of his pearls:

* “The No. 1 thing I look for in a kid is to be competitive. Not every kids wants to compete. They want to play but don’t want to compete. Just being competitive doesn’t make a player a good basketball player but it’s a good way to start.”

* “You can’t take a selfish kid and train him to be unselfish.”

* “Kids are harder to coach nowadays because of all the stuff and a short attention span. But kids are not different today. The biggest difference is their parents are screwed up. They want to be their friends and not parents. They don’t like their kids’ school, they change schools (sound familiar?). If they don’t like their coach, they get the coach fired. It makes it hard to get kids who understand how to be unselfish and understand it’s not about me.”

As we know, these are just a few of the reasons why a kid that looks like a "can't miss" top rated, all-everything high school prospect, won't get an offer from UConn. They don't fit Geno's criteria.
