Message: [QUOTE="TCC Kid, post: 4787112, member: 11583"] You are correct. When kids are recruited for Uconn fan put superhuman expectations on them. The hype is excessive. They can jump straight up 5 feet and dunk--one player now on Uconn. Azzi is a terrific player, wonderful kid. She has only one BAD attribute --she is human. Sometimes she's great sometimes she's not. That applies to every kid on this team. Geno---walks on water, motivates the unmotivated, reads the minds of players--Won't do this, will never do that. Each time, under the right circumstance--he will do most anything to win. He took transfers--a previous no-no. He'd never play U Tenn--now he does. Dorka, Lou, where would Uconn have been last year without those TRANSFERS. We hype, we praise, we embellish, and we create a terrible expectation. When they lose--shame on us--all of us. That's when the praise for playing their hearts out knowing they are losing--should come. [/QUOTE]
