Recruiting Dangerfield--
This is another of the 10 reasons why UConn is so good. CD & Geno seem to have fine-tuned their recruiting system to a sweet state. Recruits with Character, willing to sacrifice, adapting to change, understanding improvement is constant, intelligent, and most have a graciousness about them. I respect Geno's method of bringing in 3 guards last year, and three wing players this year----and each year the recruiting philosophy is "each kid is a different type of guard or wing or big." The uniqueness of each player's style was very evident this past year. I think this incoming class has the same uniqueness. Geno & CD have so many moveable parts that UConn can have an answer for any situation. Big Question --- What team in the top 25 had the talent or skill level to ---attack effectively-inside or outside. To defend inside or outside. To run or to go half-court. And do it seamlessly and change it within seconds. I can't think of any other team with those varied skill sets or at the high level for each. IMHO it is Geno & CD and their recruiting system. Of course, as another of the 10 reasons why UConn is tops ---What team has a head coach and a top assistant with 30 years together. That alone is priceless.
...I think you're correct! I was actually thinking the same thing when I saw it for the first time. I was wondering if someone else might see it similarly. But ...Lou sure has picked things up on the defensive end. Very encouraging!
