No. She would make 14 with still one spot for a big.

I don't think it matters what Geno wants or the young ones these days. Parity and deep rosters have changed the game and Geno will adapt just like he always has. The young ones will need to mature quickly and fight for their minutes if they want to be on a top team. I don't think Dawn lost any...

Let's not forget Ms. Maya Moore. She was the original IT girl as soon as she hit the floor.

Hmm. That would put her really close to Galludet U. I wonder if she's worked out a program to further her sign language studies.

As of today, it has to be KK. Aubrey will be part of the group when she returns. I think Ash has the potential once she gets the confidence to get closer to her man. Right now she has a tendency to put too much space between her and her man. She surely has the conditioning for it....

I'm trying to be patient and think that the public relations folks are putting the press releases in order and giving space between them so everything gets their spotlight. They've so far perfectly timed out each thing from the transfers out, wnba drafting, the men's parade, Geno's award naming...

Those grand ma knees as she called them....

This is the perfect way to justify not giving him the award every year....it's named after him.

Hmm. That makes me feel like something big is coming from the portal....

Is Sue working in Storm administration now and I missed it?

Patterson also had lingering medical issues from highschool. When they shut her down after the knee surgery, they shared that she had similar issues in highschool.

Maya Moore. If I remember correctly, she has a 4 for 8 wnba championship percentage. None of the rest won the championship 50% of the time. I also think the other years were deep play off runs. Yeah her career wasn't as long as others, but you can't argue with the efficiency.

Maybe Miles is still not ready to come back and they need a combo guard to get them through the early part of the season.

I think the 60% from the field is possible if they play hard core defense that ends in run out layups and Paige focuses on the mid-range. The 50% 3pt is likely not going to happen. Even the great KML was just under 50%. A bad shooting night here and there can easily drag the percentage just...

I just wonder how long this transfer speed dating is all going to take and we get some decisions from the big names in the portal.

Yeah. I would say the Big10 is the better travel option though. There will be 4 teams on the west coast plus quite a group in the midwest. The ACC is basically all east coast except now for the newbies.

I would say 4/PF on paper but Brink is a foul machine so that turned her into the 5 a lot of the time in big games.

Hmm. That tells me she is hunting a championship. If it was about academics, she'd stay where she is. Now we've got her and Beers to think about.

She made a lot of progress in only one season. She started the season only chucking up 3 pt shots as soon as she came in the game.... By the end she was clearly thinking through what was a good shot, rebounding, and giving UConn effort on defense even if she still has a ways to go in execution...

Even if the University tried everything, it doesn't mean that it is OK for fans to then take their frustration and hate out on the young women who have their long term careers to think about. They are victims too of this whole conference/football/money grubbing situation.

Hmm... I have some heartburn with this one since in my mind if your leading variable is longevity then yes DT. But if you are looking at efficiency of a career, then I'm going with Maya. It's like being forced to pick who your favorite UConn child is....

I just don't think you can use UConn as a comparison. UConn is its own brand and the basketball capital of the world.... it's just not the same for OSU. The University hasn't delivered on their end of the original deal so they collectively took their careers into their own hands and are...

We have to. With the current state of the game, depth is more important than ever to get all the way to a national championship. I would argue that everyone has to eat for us to get to #12. We can let Paige do her thing and we can get to the final 4 but everyone has to eat in order to cut the...

This demonstrates the discussion that has been all over this board. Is height everything? The answer is no and UConn has been proving that for years. Sarah easily compensated those couple inches using her width and strength along with a good outside shot.

Strong likes to do some KML 3pt shots where she just effortlessly throws it up there. No preparation, no problem. If she can over 4 years become a mash up of Maya, KML, and Morgan Tuck UConn nation will be just fine.....

Are we surprised by that? She stated the UConn philosophy that she came from so no one should be shocked that she expects a player to be a complete player.

I think it is valuable to recruit guards/wings that played PG at their highschool even if you never plan for them to be your "official" PG in a motion offense. The motion offense depends not only on movement but the ability to pass the ball to get the best shot. That's why it is really...

Give us a hint....

That makes a lot of sense. Rueck has got to get out of OSU to save his career. It's terrible but reality. He is too good a coach to be at a school without a major conference.

That still makes no sense. Cheli was a finalist for player of the year so that means top 5 at least to me...

The way I look at these two spots and the portal is I'd like two individuals with 1-2 years of eligibility left tops like a Lou or Dorka. A very good player who is looking to get coached by the best and build skills for the next level just like Lou/Dorka were doing. I also look at these spots...

And what do we do if KK gets an injury?

I think this explains Kiki in the portal.

I don't really understand why we are talking so much about these words. I supervise a lot of people and the reality is that my relationship with the best performing employees is different than my relationship with struggling or under performing employees. It's as simple as that. I am positive...

However, if I was her, in the portal, and Geno calls. I'd tell myself. Hmm. Edwards is gone, Ice was so so, and Jana is a freshman coming off an injury. I'm pretty good so that starting center job is mine...
