Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3545076, member: 5798"] I would really like to see Geno invite all of his coaches (including Jamelle) to join him for a podcast, and talk UConn women’s basketball for an hour. Geno’s program is air tight! You [U]never[/U] hear anything “leaked” from his program. That’s a good thing, but it keeps us in the dark like mushrooms. The boneyard needs to know! We don’t like being kept in the dark. It stifles our cynicism and objectivity. Let there be light. :) Geno could begin by giving us his “State of the program“ briefing. Then have a round table discussion on each roster player, along with the short term and long term outlook (expectation) they have for each player. How great it would be if they could talk about their top 5-6 most coveted recruits for the next 2 classes, and give us a report on the current status of their recruitment of them. That would be a “must listen to“ live stream. Unfortunately coaches cannot comment on potential recruits until a signed letter of intent has been received by that school. Geno could also share with us some of the contingency plans they have (have discussed) going forward with respect pushing back the beginning of the season and how many OOC/conference games they would try to play if the season can’t begin on time. If they could talk about that, it would answer a lot of our questions. Right now, all we have to go on is what’s coming out of the NCAA administration office, and the office of the Big East Commissioner, Val Ackerman, [I]"who said Friday that the league won't have sports in the fall if students aren't allowed back on campus. During a conference call with reporters, Ackerman stressed that the geographic footprint of the league (the 11 schools cover 10 states and the District of Columbia) increases the likelihood that schools in the Big East will have "staggered entry dates" and a "patchwork outcome." But [B]she also said that sports won't be played if campuses remain closed into the fall semester. [/B]"If our campuses aren't open, we will not have athletes coming back or sports events or activities resuming. Our presidents, I think, are of the mind that if it's not safe for students to resume in-person activities on campus, that student-athletes would not be returning."[/I] It’s wait and see. Right now, things are changing by the week. A lot can happen between now and August 31, the day [URL='https://registrar.uconn.edu/academic-calendar-2020-2021/']UConn's fall 2020 semester is due to begin.[/URL] It would be interesting to hear from Geno if they have any kind of timetable in place yet, or if any “drop dead” dates have been identified by the league.
