Geno, "We're not going anywhere!"

[Blue Ghost]

 

[enigmatic]

I just love Coach Geno. The man is approaching 70 but he still has that competitive fire left in him. He has had and experienced it all but yet still wants to prove himself and UCONN. It will be a SAD day in all of sports when he decides to hang it up.

Geno is enjoying Texas time, southern cornbread, barbecue and the UConn Men's championship run. I'm eating oxtails, braiding my hair and reading mystery novels until our run next year. I would have loved a championship run, but rest sure does feel good. Like Geno, I think another streak is coming, UConn isn't going anywhere but up.

The kind that end in national titles too

Who’s coming next year and the year after? I know about Allie and Kelis, but who else is he hinting at? Sarah? Kate? Adhel? Toby?

Great question. Geno mentioned before 2 top 5 recruits next season (in 2024) and we know only of Allie Z. so the mystery remains...

I think the odds are good that Geno will land Sarah. He’s the best WBB coach in the business, and her mom allegedly works for the Boston Celtics, so she would be able to drive to Storrs to see Sarah’s games.

I also like Geno’s chances to get a commitment from either Kate or Toby.

Whoever gets Toby Fournier I think is gonna get a potentially transcendent player in the women's game. Her dunking ability at just 6'2 is amazing.

Fingers crossed that he's dipping into the Lithuanian talent pool.

........But in the meantime.........

We're not going anywhere (most of our team is back, along with 2 IR players, and they are all hungry)
And if you see who we recruited this year (man, you are gonna love the incoming freshmen)
and once you find out who's coming next year (I know something you don't know)
and the following year (woooieee)
we're not going anywhere (we may not win all our games, but it's gonna be a fun journey)

I dream of this... Juste Joycte... but..... will it happen??

Juste J. ... she passes, she drives and hit and ONE, she is smooth.
Don't you think that she may have a good deal with that French
team...(I think it was the one in Lyons??). Time will tell.

Geno has lit the candle. Now we're going to spend the next 7 months trying to figure out who are the un-named recruits he referred to.

Interviews with Geno are always great listening.

Love the way he teases we fans. Always keeping us on the edge of our seats wanting more info!!!

 

[Stinger92860]

We get to add 6.5 new players to the mix. This team will look very differen.

 

[wingsfan055]

Hey Geno - we need more Bigs and athletic/faster recruits! That's what better be coming!

He is also well versed on NCAA rules on saying anything about a recruit before the LOI has been signed.

Bigs that can perform at high level and shovel ready.

That goes without saying.

UCONN has some size right now they just need better health. I noticed right after the loss that Geno seemed to have that sparkle back in his eye and that hunger he needs to be his best. 14 years they were barely challenged and this year they lost with talent that should have had them back there and he knows it. His excitement for the future should give all of us fans excitement too. I wouldn't be surprised to see them rout everyone next year on their way to title 12.

If only she could shoot! Maybe she’s working on that and will be KML with hops!

UConn needs to recruit her harder than anyone else in that class imo
