Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3117678, member: 7093"] It used to be a guard's game. Notre Dame, Baylor and Miss St. are changing the rules. Guards will always be key, but having 5 of them is no longer a formula for success. Recruiting Olivia is a step in the right direction. But it will take another season before she reaches "impactful" and reliable status. Uconn fell off in recruiting success....not due to the people from UCONN doing the work....I just think a lot of great players found homes that better suited them. And those homes were places like Stanford, Miss. st., Baylor, ND, Oregon, etc. No longer is UCONN the only sanctuary of excellence in the game. So, we have to get lucky and hope many future stars carry the UCONN dream. But no longer is it true that all of them will. And landing only one recruit in next year's class will not cut it. [/QUOTE]
