Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 2619762, member: 5598"] We are saying the same thing...I completely agree with you. There is a reason Calipari or Coach K are getting the 5* one and dones now. It because those elite players think those coaches can best prepare and put them in the pros. Geno is no different in the women's game except the gap is even larger between he and his competition. Its amazing the entire USA women's national basketball team could be composed of only former UConn players (it was half way there last time olympics) and we'd probably win the gold medal every year. Some players like Stewie or Maya Moore or Diana Taurarsi would have been great wherever they played. But its a little bit of the chicken or the egg argument..are they the greatest players in the world who happened to go to UConn or did playing under Geno at UConn help make them the greatest women's players in the world? IMO its the later... The better question is could Geno coach and develop men the same way for the pros? If he could then every elite prospect in America would be signing with UConn. Again, that is a big "could"... [/QUOTE]
