I agree in general - that kids are told by many people - Geno, the staff, other current players, and alums (if they ask), what to expect when they get to UCONN.  Having said that, almost to a person, quotes we hear from kids in their freshman or sophomore seasons talk about "my hard was not their hard" (B. Banks), or that they knew it would be "tough", but had no idea just how tough it would be, etc. etc. with many variations on that same theme.

Point being - no matter how much these kids prepare for what's to come, when they start practice in earnest under Geno, all of them soon learn that there simply was nothing that could prepare them - not all the conversations, explanations, or information offered up by current/former UCONN player or coaches.  Imagination is usually far different from reality...

I'm glad Crystal is getting it.  She's a great kid who I love to watch play and lead the team and I'm excited to see how she progresses over the next 3 years!
