Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 4172448, member: 5939"] I think it is Geno’s duty/imperative to continue to develop this year’s team’s arsenal. Caroline is doing great, only quibbles for me are her defense (letting her opponent get past her too easily at times) and occasional hasty shooting (not set but I understand the need to shoot as our squad is limited). Paige will be Paige when she returns- even 80% Paige if added to line-up will be huge. Livia is playing best ball of her career. Aaliyah is maybe coming back to form, this is Geno job #1, keep her on track to be consistent force down low. I’ll throw in Dorka here too. Getting guards to get timely accurate passes into open bigs is Geno job #2- hello bounce pass. Paige’s return will help here immensely. Getting Christyn back and up to speed is Geno job #3- we need her speed layups, great defense and occasional outside shot. She will thrive in a line-up with potent Paige and Caroline. Getting Azzi into the game and used to college pace is Geno job #4- all freshmen not named Paige have shown first-time jitters when starting their UConn careers. Azzi is too good a shooter to remain unused- if she gets minutes through rest of season, it’ll be bound to help team. This depends on when she is finally at full health but I hope that will be soon. I was disappointed in SC game being postponed, but considering everything else, it gives us time to improve in all these areas. [/QUOTE]
