This a wonderful conversation from Sue’s podcast. The part that really stood out for me is the discussion of their experience arriving at UConn and, for Phee, what happened after Stewie, Morgan and Moriah graduated. This begins around the 23 minute mark.
Phee remembers Geno saying, “Well, all the talent just left, so you guys are going to have to be smarter than everyone else.” This was apparently the theme of his coaching for the next few years. I suspect this was also a theme of the past several seasons too. This season may be the first in years when Geno has “all the talent” again. Of course, I doubt he’ll tell the kids that. They will still have to be “smarter than everyone else.”
This all makes me wonder how Serah and Kayleigh will respond to the demand to be “smarter.” I imagine this was some component of Marisa’s coaching, and Lindsay’s too, so this won’t come out of the blue for them. But I also expect the demand will be ratcheted up much higher by Geno.
