Rizzotti named to nat'l team staff

[DaddyChoc]

Of Uconn affiliated folks I would think CD would head the list if she was interested, followed in some order by JR, SR, and MM. I actually find Marisa to be an intriguing possibility. I would add TC and JE to that list though I think both of their struggles leading their own teams may preclude them from being high on any list at this time.

and what is Jen doing so special at UHart... local talent doesn't even want to go there. She did have a good 3-4yr stretch but its been downhill for some years lately.

UHart is I think a pretty hard sell. I know there are a few mid majors that occasionally make noise but there are mid majors and then there are mid minors. Still she has been conference coach of the year three times. Compared to recruiting for Temple and or Cinci, it is a much tougher sell.

Storrs was a harder sell... and here we are. She was more popular than Geno when they both entered the coaching field... that should be good for something

Geno had two things going for him. Well, actually three.

One, Uconn was in the big east, a major conference.

Two, he was able to convince a top 5 recruit in Lobo to come. It has to start somewhere. Jen hasn't had that (see my first reason)

Three, he's Geno. While he didn't have the reputation, he had the vision and personality. I love Jen, but she is not Geno.
