I liked her "old man" game, but don't think she measured up to #1 in her class.

Lauren Cox and Joyner Holmes were less than stellar as well. Maybe you should train your fire on the rankings system rather than on Crystal.

Not to mention that she was Jonathan's favorite human.

I don't think I've ever seen Tonya Cardoza look happier. Maybe she's looking forward to escaping winter.

The debate is about what counts as offense.

Koval is tall. Vukosa is a baller.

First, I love Kathy-Emma's technique on defense. Second, it is great to see highlight videos that focus on defense. Third, is Alford Corriete on UConn's payroll? He should be!

I think that Nika was the best recent example. Her analysis was invariably thoughtful. Paige tended to give canned answers, albeit cheerfully.

I think there were a few other things about New York that were attractive to Stewie and Jonquel.

I will take up that challenge. Andre Jackson was a great offensive player at UConn.

I agree that this thread is about Jovana, but the OP touts an article by Daniel Connolly that compares her to Nika. And while that comparison is not invidious, it does imply that Nika was deficient on the offensive end of the court. It is fair game to point out that assists, steals, offensive...

I appreciate your desire to give KML her due. She was, indeed, a "versatile and valuable" player on offense, and not just a "shooter". However, no one ever accused her of being a strong two-way player. Azzi's defense this year has been impressive.

Her defense is also quite good.

Oh please! Perception (by whom?) and reality are not the same thing. I have no doubt that Dawn would like to be a highly successful basketball coach. Based on numerous interviews, her definition of success appears to include creating the conditions for her players to grow as human beings and...

No she was not. She was a late discovery by UConn, but that is quite different from being a fall back player. Similarly, stars who are recruited late because they develop late are different from fall back players.
