Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 5256772, member: 591"] Absolutely. Seeing things from close up here in Arizona, one realizes that playing time and starting and the rest of it are important. Arizona experienced a lot of transfers that were at least partly due to those sorts of reasons, including the classic "recruited over". The difference for UConn is that there are side benefits - contending for a national championship, being coached by Geno, being (obviously) one of the top players in the country, looking at a WNBA opportunity if you want it - that other programs cannot offer. I fully agree with folks who worry that UConn (at least post Geno) along with many many programs are facing long term difficulties in incenting players financially. Again, UConn being UConn with Geno and the likelihood of a Final Four and strong chance at a national championship offsets this a bit, I suspect. [/QUOTE]
