Look UConn was once upon a time [B]THEE[/B] place to go to play basketball.  We were the #1 college team in America!  Year after year we made it to the Final Four and have won the National Championship 11 times.  Those days are gone!  UConn, unfortunately, is no longer the #1 place in the land to play basketball. It's still a highly regarded place to go, and with Geno as the coach always will be.  However, there are several other schools now that [B]offer more[/B] in every sense of the word.  Many talented players would prefer to play closer to home, or to play under a different coach for one reason or another, they prefer the surrounding community (ies) to the campus, etc., etc., etc.  [B]Other coaches are having great success! [/B] The transfer portal is new as are the NIL opportunties being offered. LSU's windfall of transfer portal players obtained is incredible.  However, none of those players would have fit in at UConn (or were needed at the time).  And, more importantly,  none of them were interested in coming to Storrs.  We didn't need them pre-season.  Try to take [B]reality[/B] into your evaluations and expectations.
