Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2001246, member: 6911"] Yet in a radio interview, Coach Geno was talking about how the women's game would look if they had men's rules. He said that Stewie would have left after her freshman season, and KML would have left after her sophomore season. Of course, if all you're going to get is $50k from the WNBA, then why bother? But if you're going to get, say, $100k as a top recruit, and then after the summer, when WCBB would be starting back up, you're taking off for Russia or Turkey or such for half a million bucks, then the situation looks different. If you only have a few years as a pro, do you pass up several hundred thousand dollars to win one more NC for UConn? Do you risk earning nothing if you injure your knee? If you were the player of the year in the ACC, then you come back and start for a national champion UConn team, what more have you to gain from staying around? A MA, unless it's an MBA, probably won't get you hundreds of thousands of bucks, certainly not your first year out. So kids have to look out for their bodies and their careers. Of course, I don't know what Z will do. But a head coach has to plan for the future. He's got to think that this is a serious possibility. And he has to recruit with that in mind. So does he go really hard for post players? Does he cast the net wide with the 18/19 and future teams in mind? Just sayin'. [/QUOTE]
