Catching up with Geno Auriemma as he gets first look at next year’s UConn women’s basketball team
Auriemma is evaluating roster turnover and incoming players as UConn prepares for another season, with Sarah Strong expected to lead the team.
On Wednesday, UConn head coach Geno Auriemma observed his squad during off-season training, evaluating the roster's composition as the program prepares for the upcoming season.
Recovering from a year and a half of injuries, the team is integrating new arrivals. "She's doing great," Auriemma said, managing the physical demands of high-level collegiate play.
Auriemma said his recruits are "here for the right reasons," seeking individuals who prioritize the program's culture. He is currently integrating several new recruits alongside returning veterans to strengthen depth.
Increased international recruitment has brought new talent to the campus, complementing the existing core. Coaches are monitoring these young players, balancing their development with the need to maintain competitive standards.
With 12 national titles in the program's history, Auriemma continues to refine his strategy for his 42nd season. The goal remains consistent: building a cohesive unit capable of returning to the national championship stage.
