Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2401124, member: 3535"] 1--- Wasn't me about Maya. I don't think when you posted that - I don't remember it-- and I don't think I'd have thought it relevant to send a reply post. If I did let me know but I don't think so. I don't know what the significance is of Maya as a frosh vs AZ. So I don't understand your point? 2--- Further, I don't understand your points about subbing for example "Z" for Gabby." Why can't Gabby guard for example the girl from Ohio State while Z is guarding Ohio State's center? Gabby is probably the best suited to defend her, isn't she? 3--- Also-- I don't agree at all with your point on morale. THIS IS GENO"S TEAM. ALWAYS WILL BE. IMO not even close to believe there will be ANY "morale" issues as to who starts between the super 6. 4--- In terms of chemistry. I think Geno addressed this. Right now it was "easy" as he put it to put Danger as the starter. Maybe the whole year it will remain "easy" enough to keep her there. But as he said the team as "uncomfortable" as it is now, it will become really really good later. I can't imagine a team getting AZ with Geno's ability to coach won't have improved enough to be really really good and completely incorporating AZ's skills. And imo anyone who thinks AZ will be an all-american, it should certainly follow AZ fit in beautifully to the team chemistry. You don't get to be all-american on a UCONN team by not working well in a team concept. 5--- regarding "should be" winning by 20 - UCONN was favored by 21 points in the Miss Game. Secondly, Geno doesn't care about margin of victory. If he is ahead by 30 with 3-4 minutes left nto all of his super players might not be in. If up by 25 with 2 minutes left etc. Third- these are "20 year old kids." They aren't pros. They can feel pressure a lot more than a pro. What "should" happen with 20 year olds is not as clear cut as just "more talent" so UCONN "will" blowout everyone. SPorts has shown us (Miracle on Ice:)) that what "should vs did" can be completely different. [/QUOTE]
