Message: [QUOTE="Bestiarius, post: 2379209, member: 1939"] Back in Summitt's heyday, Tennessee had first pick of the best recruits in the land. There weren't that many great players back then. After Pat finished recruiting, there were few good players left for the other teams. Rebecca Lobo going to Connecticut broke through Tennessee's recruit domination. More recently, there are too many excellent players for any one, two, or more teams to corner the market. In today's game, coaching is more critical than ever in producing wins. Geno might have an advantage now because of his record of success, but Tennessee with a new coach will never again reach the past pinnacle of success. Just isn't the same playing field. Such high expectations by Lady Vol fans are doomed to engender disappointment. [/QUOTE]
