I was simply stating my observations of the current states of the programs.
I used the women's team as an example because it seemed that Niele was comfortable with her squad and the transfers that she brought in. She apparently feels OK with the smaller squad.
Brey didn't quite fit the point I was making because he did try to bring in some other guys, but wasn't able to do so.
Seemed like a bit of a comparison to me, but I also understood the point you were making with Niele.
The worry I have about coaches that decide to go with a smaller roster, especially in a sport like basketball where your max numbers are pretty small anyway, is having a major injury. For example, Paige Bueckers just tore an ACL, which is likely to cause major problems for UConn this season.
