Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2687475, member: 7511"] I agree with you if the decision is purely related to basketball ability, but here is where I think UConn is different. Most recruits/transfers are on their very best behavior when they meet coaches for an hour or two during a weekend visit, in home visit, etc. But when they’re hanging out with the players around campus, in the dorms and elsewhere, they’re much more likely to be themselves. We know that there have been many talented basketball players that Geno has rejected because they are not team oriented and would harm team chemistry, something that is critical to UConn’s success. After a recruit has visited, what Geno absolutely wants to know from his players is, are they a good person? Will they be a good teammate? If his current players don’t give him confidence that a recruit has the right stuff to be a Husky, I suspect he will not offer a scholarship, no matter how talented a player is. [/QUOTE]
