Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 4146954, member: 129"] I have seen on this board more than once that the next great recruit(s) is going to lift UConn to it's next National Championship. I too have bought this and could not wait to see these young people on the floor to perform. With the exception of Paige, everything has been a fizzle and a dud. Either injuries, or sitting on the bench or whatever, cannot bring back the era of success that we saw wih Breanna Stewart et. al. I am eager to see all of this talent perform but it took injuries and 4 people and transfers to finally see Carolyn D play basketball. Something is wrong with this picture. Now it is time for a story I went into the Marine Corps in 1967. I was only going to serve my country for 2 years and go home. I had 2 degrees, BA, and MA. I was a LCPL Force Recon Marine trained in Information and Telecommunication technology, went to Viet Nam and was assigned o a multi service group to deploy a specialized technology along the Ho Chi Minh trail and into North Viet Nam. Since the Marines had the Northern I Corps area, I was relegated to North Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos along the trail. I also was deployed to plant the devices at Khe Sahn. At my 11th month I was going to home and be discharged. They offered me a battlefield commission and I was a 2nd LT. I stayed in VN for another full year. A few years later I was the youngestt LT Colonel in the USMC because I was a survivor with combat experience and built that organization with the Marine Corps. After 23 years, I realized that physically I could be a detriment and the world had changed around me. I did not want to get anyone killed around me. Maybe, it is time for Geno to reflect about his time and for his next steps. [/QUOTE]
