Message: [QUOTE="boontonbomber, post: 2523744, member: 384"] Do keep in mind that, though they were not starters, the players you mention all played plenty of game minutes. I said players with very limited minutes. rather difficult for a young player to know if they'll get Swanier minutes or say, Tahira Williams minutes. Sadie Edwards, for example, went to a good team in a competitive league, where she has gotten every opportunity to develop her game. You could argue that bench minutes at UConn would have prepared her better, but we really don't know that. There are, after all, a few other college programs sending players into the professional ranks. Re ESPN time, I think few professional coaching staffs would be doing much critical scouting by watching players on tv. Back when I used to attend more UConn games, Mike Thibeault, who was not hard to spot, was a regular at many of those games. [/QUOTE]
