Hasn't smiled either, no enthusiasm... ??

Is she supposed to be smiling for possibly being benched again?

[ME Husky Fan]

Not knowing the cause or reasoning but if this is one of Geno's lessons, this one could come back to haunt the program. Could!!

 

[ucalum]

Some of these freshman should be playing in these games. Get their confidence up, them always sitting and never playing makes me nervous ....

 

[MilliniumPrince]

She must be in the basement of the doghouse. This too shall pass.

 

[ASweet3781]

Lexi Gordon in. Walker and Coombs did not get in. Seems to be another "lesson". Sigh. Not good.

 

[Kaizen]

Well, at least she is not alone ..hope this will make her feel better

 

[JustinesGuy]

Maybe she has migraines

 

[JordyG]

Justine, "No Megan Walker, no Mikayla Coombs. When was that decision made?"
Geno shaking his head, "I can't remember. But it was made.".

 

[my2cents]

She played 18 minutes against Temple and scored 11 points.
Culmo/Frede said it was a message for a poor practice. On Monday?
They traveled on Tuesday.
Geno said a decision was made, he doesn't know when.
Strange

justine ward asked geno no megan walker. i give her credit for asking that. really no answer given by geno.

 

[ucalum]

Not good. We are pushing our good future players away

 

[HGN]

This is going to be an interesting AAC and NCAA Tournament for some of the Uconn players.

Geno shaking his head, "I can't remember. But it was made.".

Geno really is the man.

 

[connie]

I think we need to take Geno at his word: the coach is not the one who decides if the player plays; the player decides that.

 

[Vowelguy]

Oh please.

 

[UConnCat]

Exactly. It's why UConn is never any good.

 

[JustinesGuy]

Exactly. It's why UConn is never any good.

Listen, MW is not ready to play at the level Geno needs her to play. Some BYers including me have noticed she's slower to develop than other highly rated number one recruits. She's has not been great at anything. She's athletic and smart but her game hasn't developed to excel at this level... yet.

And how do they that? miss curfew? Sat on the wrong seat on the plane?

 

[VivaLsVgs]

Give me a break.....she’s developed enough to get garbage minutes in a blowout. Geno’s clearly sending a message and I don’t like it.

Perhaps you should talk to past players such as Bascom, Rizzotti, Lobo, Taurasi, Lou and others about how he did the same exact things to them and worse. Anyone who thinks or says he is pushing present or future players away from UConn hasn't been a Husky fan for very long. The more he sees in a player, the harder he pushes. As Lobo once said on the air, it took her 2 years to stop hating Auriemma. Now look.

Maybe because she doen't have any clue what her role is or or how many minutes she will play?
Maybe when as the HSNPOY she was told she would play....

I really don't think Geno cares.

 

[ju6381]

Maybe its Megan throwing away an opportunity....

 

[oldude]

I said this on the Chat page, and I'll repeat it again here. We can all speculate endlessly on why MW & Mikayla didn't play tonight, and obviously Geno isn't going to tell us, but I will absolutely guarantee you that MW & Mikayla know exactly why they didn't play tonight.

Please be around next year when this young lady is ripping it up. I'm sure you'll be saying the same thing about Ono and Williams. Fortunately we all aren't prisoners of the moment.

If you have heard Geno & CD talk about their recruiting visits you would know they don't promise playing time to anybody.

Bascom graduated in 91, Lobo 95.....over 20 years have passed. Players and times have changed.....Geno has had unprecedented success; no one is questioning that, but his handling of this freshman class has been troubling IMO.
