[USER=3535]@hoophuskee[/USER] there is a lot there to digest.   Geno's "shorten" bench  of players that have earned "trust" by demonstrating the ability to positively impact the game. Geno doesn't make a calculation in his head that says I got big game coming up I'm going to shorten my bench to 7 or 8 or 9 or any specific number.    
I believe what [USER=5089]@Sluconn Husky[/USER]  is saying is that by recruiting 2 post players in 2018 there will be UCONN players that have the ability to positively impact the game but no or very few minutes available.   
Baylor is a good example of that in consecutive classes Baylor grabbed the #1 Post player in Brown & Cox.    By the way Baylor already had an AA post player in Davis and a contributor in Cave. Also didn't stop Baylor from grabbing Mompremier in Brown's class.    So Baylor's minutes in the post look like this against UCONN Davis-24, Mompremier-22, Brown-19, Cox-7,  Cave-8.   Let me know who you think will be happy or unhappy in this scenario.   Again, I disagree with [USER=5089]@Sluconn Husky[/USER] but at least I understand where he coming from.   IMO if two or three  quality players want to come to UCONN in 2018, as long as they accept that few minutes is a possible outcome then UCONN should sign those two or three.
