Geno Auriemma shares what he looks for in recruits and his non-negotiables. "When I watch them play...plays their butt off every possession. They come down here, they get a rebound, they outlet it, and they get a layup at the other end. Then they run back, block a shot, go down the other end. And they just play like that the whole game." That's the first filter - Effort. Every possession. No plays off. "Are they unselfish? Are they a great teammate?" "When they get subbed out of the game, do they go sit at the end of the bench, put a towel on? Or are they involved in the game?" He looks at your body language and how you act as a teammate. Because that shows your character. "Are they the kind of person that I want at my house for dinner? Are they the kind of kid that's gonna go to class all the time?" Effort. Unselfishness. Body Language. Great Teammate. Character. You recruit for who they are - not just what they can do. (🎥ESPN)
