I do understand this but to me it doesn't make sense that one high school recruit was the reason we kept a mediocre OC. Maybe I am wrong and CW will come in and start as a freshman (ie. Philip Rivers). I do hope my "glass half-full" thought is incorrect. It's just that we have been excited over players before but seem to be let down more often than not. C'mon Rivers 2.0
Charlton’s contract (unless amended again) runs from December 20, 2022 through January 15, 2026.
I recall reading the pregame reports up until maybe the last 3 games left in the season and noticing we were bottom 10 in tackling and dead last in pass defense in the country.
If he’s terminated w/o cause - it’s $490k subject to a dollar:dollar salary offset if he gets another job during the remaining term period.
If you watched any of the game it's simply impossible and borderline irrational to arrive at that conclusion. It's true that UCONN has 9 scholarship players (actually, 7 that Geno actually will play) but they got completely out-athleted yesterday point blank period and none of the injured would have made a whit of difference in the result.
You couldn’t be more off base.
No.
Agree but also now there are other schools that have decided to make womens basketball a real priority. It isn’t jus UConn and a handful of others.
LOL okay, tell you what....over/under on WCBB appearances in the final 8 the next 5 seasons is at 2 and I'm taking the under.
If true, and I did not see the game, it stands to reason that having a bunch of guys on the bench that can come in and seamlessly contribute raises the work rate of your game and gives you more fouls to give.
That just means he is owed his entire last year's salary. Well, I think UConn could swallow that if need be. But first there is this year and the performance improvement package.
What does that have to do with your comment that none of the injured UConn players would have made a whit of difference in the result of yesterday’s game?
Is anyone else feeling a little “Big 12 invite is in the bag” PTSD??
Charlton's biggest problem is he pulls out stupid trick plays and ruins momentum. If he just stuck to what was working we'd be fine on offense. I'm not saying we'll put up Madden like numbers, but we can at least look more productive and give the defense some breathing room.
Phew! They Finally posted!
Yes, and one should not dismiss the effect that had on the last FB season. The problem is, the men could possibly repeat which most likely will trigger a repeat of last year.
I have also wondered about this- UConn's players, even the top recruits, seem to be more lightly built than top opponents. I think there has been a trend to physically larger players in WCBB with as much skill as more gracile players that have been Gino's preference historically. His recruiting hasn't adjusted.
You just hit the nail on the head. He cannot compete for the best players so he sells recruiting class results as ‘I got Geno players.’, and relies on his reputation to legitimize the misses.
Agreed. Would be good to get back to FB anyway.
