Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4329430, member: 5798"] I’m wondering which “newbie” will have the most impact on the team this year. It's been noted that Ayanna needs to work on her offense, especially under the basket (putbacks/bunnies). Lopez-Senechal needs to work on her defense.....BIG time. It was said she was not asked to play the type of defense at Fairfield that they do at UConn. Geno won’t put any player on the court if they are a liability on either end of the court. That's what kept Amari DeBerry, Mir McLean and Piath Gaberial on the bench last year. I know we're 5 months away from that season opening exhibition game against division 2 Kutztown University. A lot of things can happen between now and then. The incoming players know exactly what the staff wants and expects them to work and improve on. They’ve got plenty of time to improve. I can not see these 3 players not getting a significant amount of playing time this year. As I commented in other threads, at least 2 of them will have to step up and make significant contributions this year. With only 11 players on the roster, there’s no room for “cheerleaders.” As Geno has said many times, we need everyone to step up and bring something. Whatever you have, bring it!! [/QUOTE]
