Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 2619639, member: 5598"] Geno did not always get the best players. He truly built the UConn program from the ground up. IMO Calhoun is probably the greatest men's program builder ever but, unquestionably, Geno is the greatest women's program builder ever. Many of the best women players come to UConn because Geno makes them better and they win. Its a painful process and it is not for every recruit. Playing under Geno is an unrelenting trial but for women looking to win and to improve for the professional level there is no better coach on the planet. One of the legitimate criticism of Coach Ollie in recent years has been the lack of player development. That does not ever happen with the UConn women...EVER!!!....they are very good when they get to Storrs but great when they leave. If Geno could do the same thing with men (unknown) he would have 5 * recruits knocking down his front door. [/QUOTE]
