advance it to 30 minutes. some choice words of praise for Gabby and Crystal.
Fantastic! Now
that's a speech worth hearing. Geno's folksy, extemporaneous manner belies his true brilliance. We are beyond blessed to have him.
A few salient points that stuck out, for those who can't, but
should, spare 30 minutes to listen:
- "Parents today are screwed up, they want to be their kid's best friend." Better they should just "give 'em a good whack."
- Never heard Geno rave about a recruit like he did about Crystal Dangerfield. He called her a smaller version of Moriah. Wow!
- Despite all his bluster, Geno is quite humble. He gives all the credit for UConn's success to his players and his coaches.
- It was beautiful the way he acknowledged Tierney Lawlor and Briana Pulido for their contributions, saying "they are stars in their roles."
There is so much more great stuff in that Chamber of Commerce 'speech.' Worth taking the time and listening to.
[thanks a ton, bags27, for making Geno's words available to us]
