Geno, "We're not going anywhere!" | The Boneyard

Geno, "We're not going anywhere!"

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.

........But in the meantime.........:D
 
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)

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

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.

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.

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

Interviews with Geno are always great listening.

I think Geno has already received “silent” verbals from several coveted recruits in the ‘24 and ‘25 classes. Until those recruits publically declare, we won’t hear or know anything.

Recruits have various reasons for the timing of their reveal. Geno seem to be happy with who he has in the pipeline, so I guess we can too.

It's unlikely there is a silent recruit for 2025 at the moment. Geno's comments point to someone in 2024.

I am bookmarking Carnac's post for future reference. :D

2023 - And if you see who we recruited this year,
2024 - and once you find out who's coming next year
2025 - and the following year,
we're not going anywhere."

The problem is that last "and" before "following year" was never spoken by Geno. It was misattributed to him by Maggie Vanoni.

Geno said, Once you find out who's coming next year...the following year...

I'm about 100% certain he was differentiating between "this" year ('23) and "next year" ('24).

I've never used "the following year" to describe the upcoming year. Even without "next year" I would assume the "following year" means the year after next. Differentiating between this year and next year doesn't make much sense with out I use the english language personally. Its also worth noting the Geno specifically uses pauses in places of "and" quite frequently when speaking.
