Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2686689, member: 8501"] Yes you raise legitimate valid concerns. Of course almost every player wants, needs and should know where they stand and what looks like it lies ahead. While I do think this will in specific situations, make some recruits choose elsewhere. The players that choose and commit to U Conn and its history, culture and exepectations are a slightly different breed. They are striving to become the best they can be and all the non stop hard work that demands. If they do all of much of what's expected they get to play and then hopefully succeed on the court and as people too. Some seem to be and have become stars of the game. Some become solid pros. Some enter whether it be coaching or medical school use these basketball and life lessons, to excel in their chosen field. In very few other places is their on the court and bench demeanor watched carefully, and their abilities to present themselves and speak to the media and in public stressed as much as at U Conn. With the graduate transfer rule and seemingly big changes coming in transfer rules in general, the landscape changes for everyone. You either adapt or you don't. What won't change much if at all, is how careful Geno, CD and the coaching staff are about whom they recruit and accept. Clearly involving you team and its player leaders in the process of determining if any player is the right fit, says a huge amount. These seem to be two lovely, very bright, high achieving, skilled young women and basketball players. Both they (individually), their parents and advisors, as well as all the involved parties at U Conn have to all decide this is the right fit. I'd think the next few weeks or so, it will clarify itself and decisions will be made. Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
