Message: [QUOTE="Redux, post: 4252422, member: 11089"] I'm not sure any UConn injury ever affected me more than that season-ending ACL, after eight games into her freshman year; hit me like a cheap shot to the gut. She had looked to me like she was about to become the best women's basketball player I had ever seen, and before she even got started ... I've always believed, great as she was sophomore & junior year, that she never got it totally back together and hit her full stride until her senior year. It's irrational to imagine the effects of an ACL lasting that long but, at the time, it just seemed to me that she wasn't as strong, confident and fluid, even though the results those two years were excellent. And, again subjectively, it seemed to me that senior year was a whole new level, what I had expected to see for the whole career at UConn. But despite missing most of her freshman year and despite whatever lingering effects there [I]may[/I] have been, the record at UConn speaks for itself: one of the greatest. [/QUOTE]
