Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4957478, member: 12088"] There's always the transitional moments over the summer and fall for the fans. [B]Before[/B], the recruits are just names and stats, a few highlight videos, and a ton of our unrealistic expectations. All we think about is what might be possible. [B]After[/B] the first pressers, when we actually get to see them in UConn gear and answering questions, we recognize them as kids, full of hope and bluster and nervous about the new adventure. [B]Finally[/B], in the first couple of games in November, they'll be sitting on the bench watching the veterans play and eager to get in the game themselves. And once they get on the floor, nervous as cats and fumble-fingered, they'll be mortified by little mistakes. [B]Eventually[/B], they'll develop the confidence Geno's program is designed to produce, they'll have honed their skills and learned the ways of the team and figured out Geno's schemes, [B]and they'll be a joy to watch[/B].
