Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3277311, member: 1673"] While echoing Alydar's thoughts on Irwin I, like a broken record, would like to point out Conlon to DefenseBB. With less athleticism than Irwin she started on two National Championship teams, for one of the two best programs of the land at the time. One could interpret that to mean she could start on any team, but that would be the wrong lesson. It all depends on the roster. There are some teams that never would have started Conlon because of their roster situation. Even mediocre teams might be stacked at a position; even the best teams may find themselves lacking at a position, but with enough ability and the right coaching can make do. Rumor has it that we lack in "bigs" which, to this date, is good news for Gabriel. Blanket judgements of players based on their UConn careers over one small sampling of time necessarily involves false assumptions. [/QUOTE]
