Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2110753, member: 250"] I guess it started a few days ago when some one or two recruits embedded Geno's 2016 "body language" speech (now called a "rant") in a Facebook posting. Now articles are being generated in various publications offering up pieces of this speech (one is in the news links, but I have seen 6 so far). So, who wasn't watching last year as the 4peat loomed? And why now? I suspect that is an easy question. Last year the Huskies had The Holy Triumvirate - that was why UConn was special, right? This year was going to be the year UConn came out of the clouds and joined the merely mortal in WCBB. Well, that didn't happen. AND, at the same time, this group who insultingly became known as role players, blossomed into a team that epitomized Geno's team ball concept, while obviously enjoying each others successes. (they may well eclipse the UConn assist record). OMG, there is no I in team! Who knew? This man is a genius!!! So who is absorbing this message? Players? Parents, who in turn will start hectoring their entitled kids about cheering on the bench and smiling when a team mate scores? The opportunities for comic skits are endless here. I say, whatever works. Here is another of those articles with the embedded video.
