Not sure what the rest was gonna be. But yea, at 5-7(ish), she's not gonna post up much. I'm fine with a lot of her points coming off drives, break aways. Then throw in a couple 3 ptrs. It's all good.
Hi cabbie - As we all know, only special top level teams have a player who can drive to the hoop like Mo. (Driving to the hoop brings some defenders over and the 3 pt . shot is open or a post player is open for a pass/lay-up. Of course, her jets makes that possible. However, it is the RECOGNITION of the opening in the first place that makes it all possible. ( Nurse is still working on this IMO. Plus she is not as quick as Mo.) In the Pro game Mo will be able to do the same cause she won't go down with the trees UNLESS she sees that open lane. Breakaways are also the gift that keeps on giving. Her steals and her running the floor on others steals will still come IMHO. Final note- at any level a defender has to give MO some space since she is so quick. Now she can continue hitting the jumper after a jab step or two.
Cabbie,
I agree, the pace of her development was just fine. Contributor on a NC team as a freshmen, Starter on an undefeated NC team as a Sophomore, Lieberman award winner as a Junior and another NC. On Senior Night her name will go up on the Husky Wall of Honor and she will be top 5 WNBA pick. How much faster could she have possibly developed?
Every father thinks their daughter is the greatest thing since slice bread, so yes I would expect him to say she should have been a 4 year starter at UCONN. Then reality would set in and he would realize that she would have to beat out Kelly Faris, Caroline Doty, Breanna Banks & Bria Hartley to make that happen. There are plenty of HS and AAU hype tapes out there with better highlights than MoJeff's HS tape. If you want to go by HS Hype tape google T'ea Cooper (the one of her getting out of a helicopter)-man I just don't see how UCONN missed out on that kid. MoJeff progression was just fine & it's not over yet, so as TO would say 'get your pop corn ready".
Morgan's # 6 rating at the time was due to injury. Very comparable to Gabby last year who would have definitely cracked the top 10 if she was Healthy (McCormack had her #1) and in the same ball park of where I would expect Tori McCoy to be for the remainder of HS. We got 2 great players in Morgan and Gabby regardless of ranking. I wish us similar luck with Tori.
