Bold claim about 2025 but I like it.There will be tremendous competition among the outside shooters. Given her character, intelligence, motivation, drive, and talent, by the latter part of the season Ashlynn will share team leadership with Paige; starting in 2025, UConn will be Ash's team. The point-guard position should be KK's now--Chen is a rental who should not be allowed to impede KK's emergence as number-one point guard this season and the two following seasons. It is a big question how much can be expected from Azzi, Caroline, Griffin, Samuels, and the touted but unproven freshmen. Intra-squad rivalry could be an issue, but performance and--let's face it--injuries could allow, or force, Geno to settle on his seven or eight go-to players.
I like a lot of what u posted. In Geno we trust but having so many talented players..from the outside looking in does seem hard to manage. Qadence and Caroline seem like such gamers but there's a world that neither see much game time. I slightly disagree on the KK vs Chen thing cuz I'm pretty high on Chen. I think KK will do KK things regardless of starting or not playing 30 minutes, and it's cool she has another year to learn from an experienced point guard. They both can play on and off the ball so I think they should both see time, but I like Kaitlyn's ability to score a bit more .
To me the biggest unknowns are Azzi, Sarah, and Jana. They could each be anywhere from positive contributors to All Conference team players that garner national attention. They all could start or each could come off the bench. They could be essential to a closing lineup or struggle defensively and be rotated out in close games. Im pretty high on each of them, which is y I think the team will be in the running for the national championship.
