Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 5013935, member: 730"] A lot of what UConn does is dependent to who Geno has to execute it. I've heard or read him saying over the years that he had to "simplify" things because he was forced to use players who weren't ready for the full package. Another thing he has said is that whatever the team was going to run had to be in place before the 1st game because there was no time during the season. So last season, when Fudd and Griffin went down he was forced to start 2 and play 4 1st year players, and it showed for a while. Like the last 2 seasons Geno has to be excited by the level of talent through this entire roster. If the 1st year players catch on as quickly as I think they will he will turn this team into a monster. They start behind the others, especially on defense. The competition in practice should be incredible. [/QUOTE]
