Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4682924, member: 9844"] The WNBA helps fill a void for me. Live in Florida most of the year and about 3 months in the Vegas area, so I can root for the Aces, the Sun and numerous Uconn alumni while waiting. Still it is a very slow time for news until we hear something definitive on a potential recruit good or bad, get a new practice video or quote. The trip will give us some filler before the serious practices begin. Then it will be reading between the lines of every statement Geno, CD or the players make looking for a hint as to how things are going and who is exceeding expectations, or has a-lot more work to do. In one way the off-season dry period has been filled more recently by the impact of transfer season. It used to be the season ended, very quickly you had the WNBA draft and the drought began. Now we several more weeks of transfer drama that almost matches the impact of a recruiting class, and even if we are not active in the market or losing anyone, the odds are very high that some of our top national contenders will be adding or losing major impact players. We also have had the decision period for 5th year eligible seniors playing out, but after next year that will disappear. So even though it seems like an eternity, in a couple of ways it used to be even worse before transfers were so common and players had a 5th year to consider to keep the news coming a little longer after the season ended.
