Message: [QUOTE="my2cents, post: 3851362, member: 7898"] Geno's press conferences, without doubt, are always entertaining. When asked about walk-on Autumn Chassion today, he had an answer that was very interesting. Among chuckles, he basically said that this young lady left nothing to chance. She decided that she wanted to play basketball at UCONN. She was not recruited, but determined. She didn't wait for a call from Geno, she took the steps that needed to be done to get on the team. She got the grades needed to enter school, the effort to stay in contact with the coaches. The effort and determination impressed the Uconn coaches. Do you know how rare that is with young people? Without doubt, 20 years past basketball, this young lady will be running a fortune 500 company. He also went on to say that every time Autumn touches the ball , she shoots. " Hey Autumn, there is a two year starter over here who is pretty good shooter, you may want to pass her the ball'. Autumn thinking, you make me run these darn sprints, play defense, only get a minute per game, darn straight when I touch the ball, I am going to shoot. [/QUOTE]
