The thing is; she is also the team’s best passer!

I agree that Morgan is a capable (and welcome) addition to the pg cadre but I don’t really agree that she’s any threat to KK. They are simply too different. I see them more as complementary, sort of a “change of pace” duo that Geno can mix and match according to particular match-ups.

You’ve gotta be kidding me! Are we still having the Nika thing? You do know she’s in he W now? Surely even the most fervid Nika worshiper would concede that Paige is, and has always been since she arrived at UConn, the best point guard on the roster? Nika was a treasure and did a great job but...

I just don’t get this “ one true point guard” stuff. Last time I looked we have probably the best point guard in the entire country on our team! Sure, KK is a PG but she’s certainly not our only or best one!

Lou was never going to only get 10-15 minutes! She was just too good!

My two cents. I think it’s way too early to make an assumption about Ice’s ceiling. Yes, she had an up and down freshman (RS) season (more down than up, I would say) but seemed to show the most improvement/confidence at the end of the season. I just don’t think we can make any kind of valid...

Why would OK fire their current coach who by all accounts is a rising star! Though I am interested to see what happens with Rueck and Oregon State, after their team has essentially imploded. Will they even have a team next year? If not, where will we see Rueck next? One wonders if he was...

Truer words were never spoken!

Not sure exactly how SC would be better if we had a healthy roster that included Kiki Iriafen? I’m not sure there would be a better roster ever than this one (healthy) with Kiki! Certainly not more than one or two!

Whatever! The question remains; are they allowed to bring someone in to work with our players beyond former Huskies?

Every time I see her lately, she looks taller.

Does anyone out there know the answer to whether Geno, or any college coach, is allowed to pay some great former player, say Hakeem, or Shaq for example, to come in and work with his post player? For that matter, can they do it for free? I know former players from that particular school can do...

Paige, Clark & Boston on the same team? Sign me up! They also have Nylissa who is not exactly chopped liver.

Whoa! That’s a lot of “exactlys”! Very convincing!:)

Hate to say it but I don’t see any chance that we will be ranked #1 at the beginning of the season. That will have to wait until South Carolina loses. However, I’m fairly confident we will be top five! Even if we were to get both of the players you mentioned SC will still start out at #1 and...

Ideal for Golden State perhaps but not so much for Paige. Why would she want to go to a team that will likely be a bottom dweller for years until hey can get enough good players to become a contender?

Yeah, there’s no way to do that fairly. Someone like Paige could do it but let’s say Amari had to do it. As far as I know, she has one NIL deal With a relatively small business. I doubt she gets enough compensation from that one deal to pay for her own way. There’s just too much variation in...

Notice Sarah is featured in every group!

I’m curious about KK. So she’s going to this camp. Does UConn pay for that? If so, what other things can they do? Let’s say Geno knows Kevin McHale or Hakeem Olajuwon, could he bring one of them in and have him work with Jana for a week? Is that allowed? Anybody know?

I remember, before her injury, he was definitely praising her as a highly skilled player that was going to make a difference. I think her struggles this past season can largely be attributed to the injury and that, had the injury not occurred, we would have seen a much different Ice in her...

I just don’t think you can miss with Aaliyah, while Angel is going to have to learn a completely new skill. Sure, she’s a good rebounder but cannot shoot to save her life! Her social media imprint is all well and good but how is that gonna put the ball through the hoop? In college she has been...

Isn’t UConn already knocking?

Don’t forget Koval, the best post in this class, who will also be joining Notre Dame! If she plays well from the start, ND is going to be a major player next season. They have a serious team if Miles is 100%!

Not sure why they are so interested in Reese. Sure she’s a good rebounder but her offense is really limited to layups and putbacks off of offensive rebounding! She is going to find bigger and better post defenders at every turn and unless they believe that she’s somehow going to suddenly become...

That game was literally painful to watch! Not the kind of game I would expect any of our recruits to shine in. I could hardly believe how bad that first half was. Just a series of bull rushes into a crowd under the basket followed by a wild, out of control shot. The offense really wasn’t much...

Looks like they’re at least making some free throws now. Still no passing Yeah, once she gets the ball, don’t expect to get it back! ;)

Well, this is just embarrassing! The US seems to have one play; get the ball, ignore your teammates, and bull your way to the basket and throw up a prayer! I can’t even count how many times Allie was standing at the arc with no one within 10 feet of her while the ball handler ignored her (or...

I’ve been wanting McGaughy for a long time and I still think I’d rather have her but I have to admit Macy’s shooting percentages are hard to ignore! McGaghy I believe, is an inch taller and has said that UConn is her dream school. She possesses many of the same skills as Macy but….that shooting...

Well, Tac is injured too. She might be better than both Wilson and Boston together, but seeing as how she’s never broken into the top ten in the rankings, I would tend to doubt it. My point was only that words are cheap. Until both Jana and Tac have actually played some serious game time, there...

I’d be willing to bet that four, perhaps three years from now, Aaliyah will be busting threes on a regular basis which will make her a nightmare matchup! Better get her now cause her value is going to skyrocket after a couple years as a pro!

Why not both?:)

Nice to see historical revisionism isn’t confined to history books.:rolleyes: The Nika thing was rarely (never that I saw) “nasty” and was really a logical debate between hose who felt more offense and less turnovers were needed (and available, with healthy players) at that position. Of course...

I believe she tweaked a knee in the last game. It did not look serious as she retuned to the floor later but you never know with knees. Hopefully, it is just precautionary and she is fine but I felt sick when I saw her come up limping. Praying she’s fine.

Yeah, I‘m not sure if you remember or not, but Geno was touting Ice Brady as highly skilled, a difference maker etc. How did that turn out? The point is, just because Staley is waxing rhapsodic about Tac, does not mean (with any certainty) that she (Tac) is going to actually be all those things...

Think we’d have enough post players with Iriafen and Beers? :rolleyes:
