Message: [QUOTE="BleedBlue72, post: 2866855, member: 4160"] Has nothing to do with that... Geno is the greatest but he has said time and time again recruiting is so much harder and so much more is involved ... players don’t want to be pushed as much... parents coaches are involved .. social media and all the hoopla and all that. UCONN is one of the very few programs that are very selective while other programs will recruit anyone and everyone. Sometimes it works out for Geno and sometimes it doesn’t. Woujd have loved to have gotten her but clearly she didn’t want to come to UCONN. Like I said table is turning and players are no going to other programs. Sometimes winning a national title isn’t always the most priority .. playing time and being the star is more appealing to a player. A lot of players are all about me mantality. Hate to say it but Notre Dame is the same as UCONN .. they run there programs very similar and usually recruit the same type of kids that buy into the team first mantality. Pat Summitt was Tennessee just like Geno is UCONN. Tennessee in the past several years has shown no consitancy or development... yes they get talent but never seem to gel... but UCONN will be UCONN and I’m shocked that Dawn hasn’t brought anyone in yet either...all I can say is Boston is the one player UCONN can’t afford to lose... a top 3 player and in our backyard would be a absolute stab in the heart. But the good thing about Jordan she didn’t follow any of her friends she played on the us team this summer like Brunelle is trying to do... she made up her mind and believed holly and Tennessee will develop her to the level she wants to be at. Apparently the lack of Tennessee Alums in the WNBA and national and Olympic teams wasn’t a major factor in her decision... [/QUOTE]
