Everything that she said she's looking for is exactly what she'd get at UConn........sadly, I think some of the best players are being warned off UConn with the thought that Geno might retire in the next few years.......you've got to believe that other programs in the recruiting mix are bringing that up too....It was quite dope. I take it that means UConn might still be in the running.
Other programs bring up coach’s age? I’m shocked, just shocked.Everything that she said she's looking for is exactly what she'd get at UConn........sadly, I think some of the best players are being warned off UConn with the thought that Geno might retire in the next few years.......you've got to believe that other programs in the recruiting mix are bringing that up too....
If it was only about BB, the program, and Auriemma and staff I think they'd get her. But I don't believe it will be. And I certainly hope I'm wrong.She visited the 2024 national champion Huskies in January and met the whole team, including Azzi Fudd and now Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers. She liked coach Geno Auriemma and was impressed by how he runs the program.
"He's for sure cool. The campus is great," Smith said. "Just the way that they practiced was great. It was a great visit for sure."
