Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 1733338, member: 6911"] The out-transfers are completely different from the in-transfers. Britney Hunter was a special case. Apparently, she was down to UConn and Duke, and somehow decided on Duke. But after lots of botched medical maneuvers, including too many cortisone shots, she bailed from Duke, and asked Coach Geno to take her in. Coach knew that she was hobbled- permanently. But he wanted her before her decision, and honored his offer of a scholarship. She couldn't play more than a few minutes a game, and practice regularly either. But the coach took her in anyway. Again, very honorable treatment by the program. Of course, EDD was a completely different case. nuff said on that. As Coach Geno pointed out in his interview with NH Register, he hasn't changed his strategy or policy on in-transfers. Just felt that these particular individuals fit in at this particular time. That answered a lot of questions. Having said that, Duke's coach wasn't totally off-base when she suggested that UConn was taking in more transfers because "talent is down." She's right. Didn't have a real center, and not enough height for the front court. But anyone suggesting that this is somehow illegitimate is off her rocker. [/QUOTE]
