Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3370348, member: 7511"] No doubt that Geno is the linchpin and closer in recruiting, but the entire recruiting process is critical nowadays, particularly when going after a top recruit. Whether it involves initial player evaluations, monitoring social media, sending out promotional mailings and all other means of maintaining steady contact. My sense is that Jas is deeply involved in the process. She also is a younger coach who may be capable of connecting with recruits at a different level than Geno, CD or even Shea. I am speculating, but the two instances where someone like Jas may have made a difference were the decomitment of Charli Collier and the surprising decision of Aaliyah Boston. While those players may well have ended up at TX & SC regardless of UConn’s process, I do wonder if a stronger connection with a staff member might have made a difference in either case. In Boston’s case, there was in fact some speculation that Marisa’s departure to take the HC job at BU may have been a factor in her decision to play for Dawn. [/QUOTE]
