Geno basically shoots for the top recruits only right, and if he doesn't get them one year it's a problem. Still, what choice does he have other than this approach? He wants to maintain the level of excellence he has achieved. Some years a recruit might not come in because they look at this team and realize there are no PT slots in the rotation for them any time soon. Most top players want to play starting in the Freshman year. If I were a parent of a top player I would advise them to consider Uconn as a better development opportunity and not think of it as an immediate gratification program. An Ice or Ayanna probably get a lot of PT next year but both will benefit even more from playing in a big time development situation, with top coaches and against top competition. And exposure to a great basketball alumni network. A lot of these kids will go on to coach and even just playing in this environment will prepare them for a career in coaching and mentoring, which is probably their most likely career scenario anyway. With few professional basketball slots even available at significant money other such considerations are even more important.
