Message: [QUOTE="RSTuthill, post: 4118520, member: 7322"] That is exactly the problem. Retention is the key. That is why the coaching staff narrative is critical. The value proposition to the prospective and current SA is that this is an exceptional coaching staff coming in and UConn has world class facilities. We are building something special and you should be part of it. This program was great at one time and will be again. And oh, btw, for the exceptional SA there are minutes on the field right now that are available here immediately and just about nowhere else. If you want to maximize the speed of your development, UConn is the place to do that. That value proposition has a shelf life of perhaps one to two years maximum. Either the program improves in non-linear fashion, in which case the competition for minutes will become fierce like everywhere else, or improvements stall and the pitch will not resonate. [/QUOTE]
