a pretty reliable source... Really? I thought they are moslty wrong? Seems like a magic eight ball kid of thing. I always ended up with “ask again later”. Seems this was wrong, unless I missed which player entered the portal at the last second.

Of players who could give UConn rotational time at the 5, maybe the only available player remaining is Maryam Dauda. But I've learned my lesson: portalling skilled bigs have an inflated market value and do not settle for rotational minutes, especially for a team as stacked as UConn is.

The sad thing about this is that neither player promises to be very competitive. Though I certainly wish the best for both players (except when they play UConn), Marquette is just trying to fill its roster.

I don't know, pick Webster. Crucial is pretty damn clear. As in, necessary to achieve our goal. If he doesn't need great but he is still going to the Portal to fill his last scholarship slot, what do you think that says about how he views Ice at this point? Sounds like pretty far from great.Then why do you think he said "She doesn't need to be great?" That doesn't sound "crucial." Nowhere in this comment is he talking about "Great." Part of the argument has been comments made on here that UCONN needs “a great post.” If that is no longer the case then we agree. So, I would not use the word "If" he doesn't feel he needs "great . . . " He clearly feels he does not. And that's why your point about "sounds pretty far from great," is exactly why some of us are defending Ice becuase he said "she doesn't need to be great." IMO that means she can be pretty far from great. And when UCONN won the title in 2014-2015, in April they received a commit Collier. Was it crucial that they were still pursuing Katie Lou too? This year South Carolina recently received a commit from Joyce Edwards yet they continued to push hard for Sarah Strong. It wasn't crucial they get Sarah. So why did they both pursue Katie Lou and Sarah Strong respectively? Matter of fact it wasn’t even crucial for UCONN to get Collier as well because they already had Gabby. Going after players in H/s or in The Portal doesn’t mean it’s “crucial to get all of them” or necessarily means every player needs to be “great.” And as far as what Geno feels about Ice- the way you are making it sound - it seems similar to what has happened with KK in that Geno went after Chen. I don’t believe that was crucial to get CHen because he felt he needed “Great” from the pg and KK is not "great." My main argument has been with anyone is if they feel UCONN needs to be great in the low post. If that is not the case, then little-to-no-argument from me. But to me it’s obvious why he is going after a post; he is looking for a fundamentally sound bigger player with experience the same way he got a pg in Chen with similar qualities. -- And that answers your question about "the urgency." Coming into this year he had Aaliyah and Aubrey,-- and Ayanna had a year behind her even if she didn't play as much-- she was still expected to play. And then they had 2 bigs- Ice and Jana. This is completely different this year vs last. The article said Geno felt it was crucial to get another big. If he feels it is crucial then he is saying that he isn't confident he will get what he needs from the current players. If he, at the same time, is saying he doesn't need great then, together he is implying that he wasn't even getting less than great. As for Chen, he never implied it was crucial to get another PG so there are no similarities. Adding Chen gives him flexibility. It wasn't to fill a spot that he felt none of the existing players could fill. He needs a post more. I am not sure how else to interpret everything we have seen and heard.

But when I look for other things Bernstein writes, he said this: " Dawn Staley wars with UConn again on recruiting trail after stinging Sarah Strong rejection." www.themirror.com/sport/basketball/dawn-staley-uconn-recruit-war-463737Do you really think Dawn is at war with UConn? Do you believe that, when Sarah declared for UConn, Dawn was surprised (after South Carolina had been publicly eliminated months earler?) Do you believe Dan Bernstein is accurate and worth staking an argument on? I have my poster's hat (not admin's) on, and I'm just asking you, poster-to-poster: could you please stop this line of argument until you can produce a direct quotation from Geno on how "crucial" another big is?

Geno never said that. End of story. He has at least three players on his depth chart for every position except center. He really only has two. Managable but another would be helpful. Certainly not crucial.

I know this guy, his name is Geno. He likes to be tough behind the scenes but definitely tries to be positive in the press. 1. He has clearly been active going after a post. This is in contrast to the last couple of years. 2. Once Aaliyah came back, Ice's minutes went way down again. Seems obvious to me.

This is in contrast to the last couple of years. 2. Once Aaliyah came back, Ice's minutes went way down again. Seems obvious to me. Well, Ice played 15 highly productive minutes in the final game of the year, in front of a massive crowd and TV audience. He wanted Beers--who is an All-American and, with Iriafen, the prize catch of the entire portal. UConn's apparently expressed interest in Maryam Dauda, as has South Carolina, Stanford, and Texas, among others. She's a really good defender, though pretty raw on offense. It's unlikely anything will come of it because she's a redshirted sophomore, and UConn would have to commit to up to 3 years. That would severely limit Geno's ability to recruit. And with Gandy coming next year--who may well turn out to be a better player--it gets complicated. Dauda was a starter with a weak team; she'll expect to start wherever she goes, and Geno cannot promise that. No one denies that with the final scholarship a big player would be a nice addition. But unless it were a superstar like Beers, the contingencies of playing time and mortgaging future offers get really complicated. And it's not in contract to the last couple of years: he snapped up Dorka ASAP.

This is in contrast to the last couple of years. 2. Once Aaliyah came back, Ice's minutes went way down again. Seems obvious to me. I don't think you know Geno nearly enough as you say you do. This imo is a classic case in point. Anyhow, we get a post with a link that a poster states what Geno has said from someone with similar views as your own. Yet when we dig in and read quote/comments from the link that uses words such as "experience" and "paid off." now all of sudden the quoting from Geno no longer matters? SO we are now to throw away this article but only use the word “crucial” that you want to use? And when we heard from before that some had said UCONN needs "A great post" as to why Braidy needs to be replaced this article has a quote that refutes that with a direct quote from Geno that "She just needs to be decent." Now this no longer matters either. As for Aaliyah - of course she is going to play a lot more. She’s an all-American senior vs a non A/A Freshman. In addition, UCONN built their team on guard play and after the brackets were announced - I believe the odds had UCONN favored to get to the Final Four. See link with the Odds below to get to the Final Four. So, why would you hold it against Ice for UCONN going back to how they were playing; the style that got them there? So you are holding it against Ice because you want UCONN to completely change direction/style and stop playing a 4-guard Offense that was favored to go to the Final Four? The Offense that got them within seconds of a Finals? The only way Ice could changethis isif she was palying "great." So why then is it it at all relevant to make mention her minutes went down when AE came back if she was just playing pretty good it wouldn't matter any way? www.foxsports.com/stories/womens-college-basketball/2024-womens-final-four-odds-whos-favored-to-win-each-region

Dorka did not have a confidence problem. The problem with low self esteem in a competitive situation like Uconn is a problem. It can be a constant day to day battle. New confident players go right by you. And it rears it's ugly head in bad situations.

New confident players go right by you. And it rears it's ugly head in bad situations. It cuts both ways. Geno, Jordan, many other greats express the constant self-doubt and need to prove themselves again. Not too many with a weak core make it to UConn. Though some arrive and develop a fear when confronted by the talent around them. Note that the coaches forever press for developing something new and elevating the best parts of your game, too. Aubrey is confident in her defense, but not so much with the three pointers Geno wants her to take.

If it's true that she's heading for Bama, it may be that she wants to stay in the South and it may be that, even though she's not a top center, she naturally wants an opportunity to start and get an opportunity to show her professional promise (if not WNBA, then at least Europe).
This is why it's so hard for UConn to get a big for competitive, but not necessarily starting, minutes. UConn already has "too much" strength for just about anyone except an All-American, like Beers.

Aubrey is confident in her defense, but not so much with the three pointers Geno wants her to take. Don't confuse a fear of losing approval and valudation with self-doubt. In cases like Geno, the more confidence he gets, the more he feels the expectations and the more he fears losing approval. When taken to its ultimate conclusion, the only way to guarantee the approval is to be #1. The higher you go, the more you desire being #1. He knew he was great but he wanted to be the best because then no one could deserve the approval and validation he sought more than he did. It is insecurity but not a lack of confidence. Knowing you can be the best brings a lot of pressure. Many people self-sabotage to avoid this pressure.

You mean Leilani Kapinus? Never on UConn's radar. Another guard....But great news for Vandy.
