Geno on recruiting and motivation

[HuskyNan]

After looking for the Lord of the Rings YouTube video, I was rooting around YouTube and found this. I think we've seen it before but it's pretty interesting. It's Jon Gruden interviewing Geno and Gruden talking about how Geno just picks which girls he wants to sign; Geno explains how that's wrong. He also talks about getting kids invested in team play. Great stuff.

Diving for loose balls?
Hmmm, seems he could make the whole video from any two of Mo's games.

Or that fantastic Willnett Crockett save vs Tennessee. She slid under the media tables but managed to keep the ball in play.

" young ladies...." Gruden says it three times. Like a time capsule.... Who would have thought that "ladies" dive for balls, much less are capable of saying something like "gosh darn...."

I have heard about this video Geno mentioned a number of times by announcers during UConn games. Does anyone know if that video is available anywhere to the general UConn fan?

I have to believe that Stewart's three blocks on one possession makes the next incarnation of that tape.

I don't know if that particular video is available to the public but you could just as easily make your own from any UCONN game. A few Examples: 1) East Carolina game 2015, 3 different UCONN players dove and combined to save a ball from going out of bounds when UCONN was up by 30 points. Pan American game 2015 loose ball at mid court only three player dove on the floor for the ball (all three were UCONN players) Kia, MoJeff & Stewie.
Halftime of the TA&M game Kara Lawson said what was remarkable is UCONN is winning by 40 and they are still the ones diving after loose balls.

A great topic for a thread!

Kia spends more time on the floor than Tiffany Hayes!

Diving for loose balls is the reason why my daughter's knees are so messed up

I know, but she's hard headed. It took until her senior year for her to wear them. By then it was too late. I told her she is going to have problems when she gets older.
