2022-2023 how many is Geno putting on rooster.?

I think Geno will have to go the walk-on route. Of the thousands of girls on campus, I'm sure a few of them have played High School ball and are pretty good, just not scholarship good. I mentioned a while back that we don't need them to score, just be there to fill in if we get in bad foul trouble. My main concern of a walk-on is that they can handle the ball well enough to get it up the court. If we can't get anyone else, we need this option because 10 players are not enough. Even if there are not any major injuries, minor ones occur, and people get sick. It's getting late, so try-outs for the walk-ons will have to start as school begins, heck, we may need 2. I really don't want to go this route, but as I have already said, it's getting late.

Walk-on's and walk-on's. I agree if "just any body walks-on, they most likely could not keep up". Once in a blue (notice the color) moon, a top type of player may show up. Mind, you, no top 1000 player, just someone who played and knows the game.

I’ll tell you what.
Tons of respect for anyone that has “ enough” of what it takes to walk on, push themselves to their limits and earn the respect of players on a team comprised , pretty much, of the crem’ de la crem’ of woman’s collegiate basketball.
I have watched Briana Polido’s 4th quarter, last minute, 3 pointer (IN THE FINALS) dozens and dozens and dozens of times.
I ALWAYS feel a measure of excitement, joy and respect for her. Never gets old and always electric (to me).
And her teammates were ESTATIC.
Tells me all I need to know about that young lady.
Geno - if another one like her walks into your office , sign ‘er up. ( but you know that already)
 
Really, it was a rhetorical question. Everyone knows you can only fit one husky on a rooster.

That was some walk. ;)
 
I have confidence in Chris Dailey, Morgan Valley and Jemelle Elliot to find another post player to add to this years team. We need to develop more post players to compete with South Carolina.....

Correct. And there are a few decent ones still out there.

The last two teams to beat SC did not have a comparable front line. It can be done. However, another big post player would certainly, I believe, help.

We have heard for decades that UConn practices are harder than games. A walk on isn't going to give you what you want in practice, though better than nothing. Thankful for practice players.

Really thankful. Remember the time Stewie put out they needed walk on and the result was, probably, the greatest single moment in UConn WBB history. And one of the two players with the most wins in their career.
