So I made mistake about her bouncing around but to try to make a 13 ppg scorer into a great player seems ignorant to me. When great WNBA players are discussed both Lindsey Whalen and WNBA MVP Sylvia Fowles are mentioned. I don't hear anyone cite Tiffany Hayes, do you? BTW, she scored 30 points...

Opinions vary!!

In 6 years in the league Hayes has averaged 12.9 ppg and has never been a WNBA All-Star. In 15 postseason games she averaged 12 ppg. Hardly stellar numbers by any objective measure.

Playing at UCONN is no guarantor of WNBA success either. Kelly Faris couldn't make the cut and Renee Montgomery has bounced around the league for years. Steph Dolson is more of a personality than an actual contributor for both of the teams she's played for, Tiffany Hayes has bounced around the...

Why would playing for the Opals not get Ezi in the WNBA? Liz Cambage never played for an American College and she had no problems being drafted or playing. Injuries and homesickness curtailed her WNBA career but she's back now.

To paraphrase what you stated, NPOY is not a lifetime achievement award and as good as Wilson's stats may be Katie Lou Samuelson is the best player on the best team. Samuelson's stats will never rival other candidates because Geno doesn't coach that way and Connecticut doesn't play that way...

Mark Mitchell was not just big in AAU circles, he was the Boys Varsity Head Coach at Taft High School in Cincinnati for 11 years prior to going to tOSU, where he compiled a 221-50 record. He completely overhauled a program that had been moribund for 15 seasons before he took over and had 10...

Read the entire comment!! "which is why she won't be an impactful player AT THE NEXT LEVEL."

Your handle belies this post, Stewie's Frosh season was a lot like Megan Walker's, she didn't come alive until the NCAA Tournament. Geno benched her twice during her freshman season for her uninspired play.

Teams that have played Connecticut at least once seem to give them trouble so add Maryland to any list of teams that people give you on this post. They are not intimidated by Connecticut and they've seen the speed and precision live, so they'll better prepared for it if they see it again, same...

Gabby can't consistently hit that foul line jumper, which is why she won't be an impactful player at the next level, where you can't get by on athleticism alone as ND's Jewel Lloyd and Kayla McBride found out relatively quickly. As Connecticut advances and plays better teams, they will give...

It's really late in the season for you to be hoping for any major improvements. At this point every team is who we thought they wuz!! What you've gotten from Azura and Megan Walker is what you're going to get. Azura just isn't a post player, no matter how much the coaching staff or the fanbase...

Talk to me after the Baylor game!

Russell is a solid, if unspectacular, post player. She's averaging 17 and 9 and shooting 64% from the field. Her teammates stop giving her the ball in the 2nd half of games otherwise her stats would be better. She's good post defender, even though she doesn't block a lot of shots due to lack of...

You seem to have fallen into the same trap that everyone else does about Azura Stevens since she was in HS. Just because she's 6'6" everyone expects her to be a dominant post player, well she isn't and she never has been. Playing in the post isn't her game, she's a Wing and her game is more...

Cliney is a bully and she will try to be physical with KLS , a lot will depend on how the game is officiated.

Dawn Staley's strategy has consistently been to take KLS away, I don't see that changing for this game!!

McGuff is gone at season's end!! His talent was slightly overrated but if you watch the way his teams play you see an undisciplined squad that lacks defensive tenacity and he makes no adjustments, the recent TTUN game is an example of his ineptitude. He hired Mark Mitchell to get get Kelsey and...

Classic case of a guy who was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple!! He got his first national play-by-play gig at the age of 25, not because he was qualified but because of who his dad was. Nobody frowns on family connections but at least be humble and know that it wasn't talent that got...

I agree with everything you say about McGuff and tOSU, as a matter of fact I've said the same things in this very forum but for a fan who's team plays in the AAC it seems the height of hypocrisy to criticize any other conference. Absent Connecticut, the AAC is no better than any Mid-Major...

Just because you haven't acquired a taste for her doesn't mean that she's not one of the 3 best WCBB players in the country today. Her talent and ability doesn't require that you like her....

Just watch how much differently the team plays when she's not in the game, maybe your perception will change....

Kelsey Mitchell has to go on the top line and I'm glad people are starting to appreciate Ionescu.....

I never thought I'd say this but it's time to put KLS in the NPOY discission. I'd wouldn't be so presumptuous as to say she's the best player in America at this point in her career or this season but she does belong in the conversation.....

Agree 1000% OD, it's one of the aspects that separate Connecticut from other teams. When tOSU gets into trouble they stop running the offense and it's Kelsey Mitchell with the ball in her hands going one-on-one either trying to get a shot or make a play while the rest of the team stands around...

What has Megan Walker done to this point in the season to be included on any list of top freshmen other than play at Connecticut? Neither her stats nor her level of play so far warrant her being included in any discussion of the country's top freshman.

You don't consider Brooke McCarty from Texas as a Top 5 PG?

Gabby doesn't have the offensive skills to be the #1 pick and at the professional level athleticism isn't enough. Courtney Vandersloot, Lindsey Whalen nor Allie Quigley are super athletic, yet they all have the offensive skill set that teams grave. Jewel LLoyd[sic] is super athletic and she has...

DB isn't a "UConn" homer she's a basketball homer and anyone who's a fan of the game has to be a fan of the Connecitcut women's team. I watched them play two years ago in C-Bus against tOSU and you have to watch them live to appreciate the speed, pace, power and grace with which they play. They...

Did Geno have any HC experience when he was hired at Connecticut?

As I have perused this Board and when it is discussed, the general consensus is that when Geno and CD inevitably ride off into the sunset that Shea, if she wants it, will get the HC job at Connecticut. Am I incorrect in my assumption and if I am will Carla Berube be under consideration? She's...

I didn't know there was rivalry between Southern California and Tennessee? I must have missed that one....

As long as he keeps a spot or two open on his staff for player's fathers he'll be fine.

McGuff won't ever develop any talent, he's a terrible coach but a great recruiter....

There have been a plethora of Freshman that haven't attended Connecticut and have gone to schools that don't have 11 Nattys and whose coaches aren't in the HOF that have gone on to have very successful BB careers and some have even become HOF players themselves without the tutelage of Geno...
