Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 2763804, member: 4250"] Agree with all of your points. I also think that the '17 kids were aware of what they were getting into but from my experience, they can hear it multiple times but until they actually get into it, it just doesn't register. As for Auriemma, of course he's being dramatic and using motivational tactics. He likes the attention and having the media hang on every word and using them to send his messages. With these two '18 kids he's not using the usual "semi ignore, break them down" tactic he can use when he's got a veteran, loaded team coming back. To win big he knows he needs these two to be at least "pretty good" so I think he'll use the "inject confidence, coach them up early approach" to get the most out of them he can right off. [/QUOTE]
