Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4191732, member: 9844"] I can only speculate, but I suspect there were several factors. First it is only natural that when you hear some of the top programs are pursuing a foreign player you know little about, you say maybe we should check her out. Second Darko (dad) had plenty of well prepared videos of his daughter that were easily available on YouTube so anyone could get an impression from that. And in addition, people close to her knew she had always followed Uconn, so there was a good chance she would be interested in us. Uconn got involved at the 11th hour, but it appears that once they did it was game over for the other schools. She was going through the usual comments about having a short list of schools to pick from and like most, suggesting she would take campus visits etc. Then Uconn showed an interest and she quickly added one name to her final list and shortly thereafter committed without an on campus visit, but Geno did go to see her in Croatia. We probably got involved just in time, then it was easy. [/QUOTE]
