Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3278080, member: 5798"] You think Liv is glad she came to UConn? The best thing about ONO going into the her sophomore season is that her best days are in front of her, and she has all of the experience she's gained the last 5 months in her back pocket. Don't think for one minute that Dan Hughes and Cheryl Reeve are not making "mental notes" about Olivia. Come draft night 3 years from now, they'll already know about her, and exactly what she can do, and how she can fit into their plans. What do you see when you look at this picture? :rolleyes: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1569362585039.png"]46620[/ATTACH] [B]Something to ponder [/B]- She's playing with grown professional players on the international level. She had 9 points and 9 rebounds today in 12 minutes. She's (the youngest) the only college player on the roster. Being around her "older" teammates (Sylvia Fowles will be 34 next month) that are some of the best players in the world has got to have a positive effect on her. She’s watching, listening, asking questions, and being coached by world class coaches. It's going to be a BIG step down in competition (and a BIG step up in confidence) when she returns to basketball on the college level. We may not recognize her this year. With all of the USA basketball she's played this summer, there's no way she'll resemble the player fresh out of high school she was last year. No way!! And let’s not forget, she's been in the weight room ALL summer. ;) Right now until I see different, I think the biggest challenge for her will be to stay out of foul trouble. If she can do that, she's going to have a profound effect on UConn's success this season. She'll lead the team in rebounds this year. I think we're going to like what we see. :) [/QUOTE]
