Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3370069, member: 7548"] Geno had paid Doug multiple complements, now Doug returns the favor [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-depaul-20191218-20191218-2awhmqqqgrbbnddcsvabljxdly-story.html[/URL] “What I’m so impressed with is they just do the normal, daily, grunt, grit things that you have to do to sustain a program,” Bruno said. "They work very hard at getting their players better. Their players get better at UConn, they get a lot better at UConn. That’s teaching, that’s coaching, and that’s a tribute to Geno and his staff. ... [And] people don’t understand how hard he works to recruit. They all work to recruit as if they’ve never won a national championship. They work very hard to evaluate and evaluate early, and they also have a very high standard of what they want from a character perspective, and then they go after it. “They work this thing as if they’ve never won a national championship and that’s what you kind of don’t see when you’re just looking in from the outside and Geno gives a funny soundbite and you don’t understand that because you’re around it every day.” [/QUOTE]
