Geno On Unrealistic Expectations

[huskyd]

My lying eyes? I don't feel at all ruffled in the slightest about this year's team. I love watching Paige, I love watching the emergence of Aaliyah, I love seeing Evina resurrecting her game, I love Liv's many improvements, I love that we've won all of our games convincingly.
What? Me worry?

Again, what prompted @Coach to find this old thread from Jan last year after the Baylor game to revisit? Did some other article come out, is it his (@Coach) perspective that this team has unreal expectations on it?

To me this is not a logical visit of that perspective. Until the poster states his reason for prompting that comment, I view this as "fake news"...

Guess I’m a keyboard coach.
Devil’s advocate: UConn is what UConn has been. Final fours, win streaks, top rated high school recruits, win-loss records, tradition, facilities, coaching staff and support staff excellence, arenas, fan support. Somebody tell me what’s missing.
Here’s one that everybody knows and may apply here. Geno has I believe only one title when he did not have The Best basketball player in WCBB. That means Lobo, DT, Maya, and Stevie. Do the math. So, if things play out like they do historically, he’s gunna win one without a GOAT like we hoped for with Phees, Gabby, KLS, Kia, and Guns, or he’s gunna win with another GOAT- Paige, Azzi, Liv?
Newsflash: the BY got played by Geno. Well played Mauer. What reason under the sun would expectations be lower? A bad recruiting class a couple of years ago, a couple of marginal transfers, 2 players going to the WNBA. Bah
This is just Geno trying to take the pressure off. Damn, a Juggernaut Big East schedule isn’t enough to take the pressure off,

Ok, what prompted this archive of a thread?

Did anyone answer your question?

No, Coach hasn't and I want to keep the train on the tracks to prevent the board going off on a "persecution track" that does not have any founding. We have lots of potential with this team and we may stumble along the way but the future is significantly brighter than a year ago. Let's not rehash old arguments when there are none.

So to recap the poster "coach" yelled "FIRE" in a movie theatre and I want to see the flames first as I suspect it's just the steam from his popcorn he thinks is smoke...

I'm sorry but this thread is only going to provide confusion. If anyone wants to start a new thread on a current topic....
