What you say about the appreciable talent of the WBB game today is so important for everyone to remember when they are comparing teams today with UConn NC teams in the past.  It used to be four, maybe five teams got all the talent, but today it's not the case.

Today, we have Juju Watkins, the No. 1 recruit in the country going to USC, not at all a basketball power since Cheryl Miller back in the 80s. UConn itself is a big reason why--they've helped to create the depth and wide array of talent that now exists because women's basketball has grown in popularity so much in the last few decades.  
So, to hear BYers make comparisons to the program's past accomplishments and/or have expectations of today's teams to go undefeated, or win successive championships are very unrealistic. I agree though--having Geno is very much an advantage for UConn, but today's overall talent pool is just too substantial.  To do what UConn has managed to do of recent is dominance in itself...
