Geno, "We're not going anywhere!"

[Dove]

Dammit. I was hoping they would rise up and win more Titles. They better go somewhere...like up!!

 

[BRS24]

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).

Fair point. Regardless, it's like saying "I bought your xmas presents for the next two years but I'm not telling you anything" LOL

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

I do believe the team is going to Lithuania/Croatia/Italy this summer. Maybe there is a reason for the Lithuania stop over???

I think they are going to Slovenia not Lithuania. I sure hope Coach pays Magic Juste a visit though if he hasn't already.

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?

We want them all!!

Maybe that was Geno's way of saying a little birdie just flew into the nest?

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.

Completely agreed regarding his excitement and demeanor. I really feel like the second the season ended, it provided a sense of closure to the never ending injury debacle. You get to take a breath, and look toward next year. Where at this point, you have the optimistic outlook on player availability once again.

Bring it, Geno!

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.

I hope that Gabby can persuade her!

From watching her videos, this is my best guess:

First name: You-sta or You-stay

Last name: Yo-see-tay

Juste Jocyte

Did 2 dominating big men on this year's Championship team make an impression on Geno ??????

Probably, but he’s already aware of what their value is. There are very few dominating bigs in WBB. Auriemma recruits many of them but if they don’t want to go to UConn what should he do? Recruiting isn’t like a grocery store or a draft. He can’t just select what he wants.

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.

Has she trimmed her list down? I know back in the winter, she had a list of eight schools. Arizona was among that list.
