Is that how you felt about Caitlin Chen, Lou Senechal and Dorka Juhasz? Transfers are sometimes a necessary part of building the strongest possible team............adding proven performers to strengthen perceived weaknesses is far different than losing and adding half of your team every year which seems to be happening more and more lately.....
please note that i said "if geno & co. decide one of those can help, i hope they get her." so, i know transfers can be a boon, but BYers are making it a trivial game ... she looks good, let's grab her, etc. there a dozens of players who look good but perhaps wouldn't complement the team for reasons BYers have no knowledge of ... i trust geno & co. and find it insulting for the uninformed to press agendas that may be
Yes, there is much to be gained by developing the players we already have. I am confident that will happen. Our experience of the past several years has shown that it does not hurt to have insurance against injury by having a full roster. Any additions need to complement the culture and style of play of the team, as we now have a winning formula. Gaudy statistics on another team, though relevant, may be less important than fit with the current team. I am confident the coaching staff will think about our current players, potential needs and decide if our roster needs additions.
Agree. And the last bit, I imagine Geno will introduce whoever it is to the current players and get their feedback, too.
It might have happened that Geno discussed adding Kaitlyn with Paige, since she was the senior leader with the most at stake, but I don't see that this year. I expect Geno will, with only advice from staff, scouts, advisors, and maybe past players, select one or two from the portal depending on final roster status.
I'm not exactly sure what your trying to say. But if you want to have a winning program you have to get some good players from the portal. That is adjusting to times ! You have to fill in the holes left by departing players. The existing players must prove themselves every day in practice if they want playing time. This is no longer High School.
sorry about that!
If it's true that she visited Storrs for the first round of the Tournament that certainly shows serious interest........keeping my fingers crossed......
Everyone loves a parade (didn't hurt the men to convince their center transfer to commit last year). Hoping for a sighting on Sunday (and only partly for symmetry).
Agreed, besides Williams and Okot, the only other obvious player to me would be Kneepkens. Who we now have room on the roster for. Not sure if we’re even on her radar or vice versa given her list of schools. There may also be another Lou type player that’s unknown to us. I think if our roster is healthy next season and the players make some progress in their development, we’ll be in good shape without any transfers in. We shall see.
I agree. I really like her and like her spark but feel like between Fisher and KK we are set in what she could bring. If she was a great 3 PT shooter I would feel a lot better.
The players that Uconn is looking at only have 1 or maybe 2 years of eligibility left so it would not effect the the high school kids being recruited.
She would be coming in as a sophomore. If Geno is looking, and we don't know if he is, it would only be for another one year player like Kaitlyn, experienced enough to fit right in to fill a need and would not disrupt future rosters.
