Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3161742, member: 73"] Youve got to be kidding me with some of these posts. Girls over 6'4 sitting the bench. Girls 6'9 sitting the bench. Theyre sitting the bench for a reason. If there sitting the bench and not playing why do you think that is??????? We dont need bigs sitting the bench we need bigs that can play and guess what only Gusters was good enough for UConn to recruit because Geno thinks she can play big time BB. ONO is very good and will get better. Reports Ive heard over the past few months is she has gotten really good and still needs some work to get better. Girls from Texas usually stay in Texas. Its tuff to get girls from Texas and everybody knows it. I have no inside info but I have to wonder if we get a big from overseas in the next year or 2. With our new commitments from Croacia and Poland we just may find somebody who wants to play for UConn yes play not a big who will sit the bench. If theyre sitting the bench they do us no good. Some of the bigs mentioned in the threads above need alot of work...alot of work. Some have gone to other teams some are still being recruited. They are projects that may take a couple of years to get to the point where they see a few minutes in blowouts and some may be bench players for 4 years. The point is some of you are questioning Geno's ability to get bigs and when you look around and see some bigs sitting the bench I gotta ask what does it prove. What would you think if we had 6'9,6'9, 6'6,6'4, sitting the bench????? Maybe giving them a few minutes at the end of a game. Let Geno do his job. He gets paid over 2 million a year and there's a reason he gets paid that kind of money and you and I dont. We have 3 more years with ONO and I would think that Geno will get a big or two that can play over the next 3 years. It most likely wont be a Texan but we will see. [/QUOTE]
