I'm sure you would. I know it is close to Christmas but I'm not Santa. That is not what I was asking.
I can tell you that Megan was named an All-American and I think that even last year, that Anna was at least as much a contributor as was Megan .... I recently wrote that I thought that she was not deserving of A/A status but that was after she'd been in the program for three years ... Anna came to the Huskies from a different country and her melding into UConn basketball and the American culture had to be quite difficult and particularly in the latter part of her season, she was a significant asset to this team .... in my mind, at least on the level of Megan and to suggest that she's less than A/A material when Megan was awarded A/A status, doesn't jive with me .... I feel that she's only going to get better and the fact that she's reporting to the team seemingly in better shape, having trimmed down, suggests that we haven't yet seen her ceiling ....
That just luda and boder line playa hatin. There are many awards well below the level of AA. For example All-Conference and National Freshman of the year. Had Anna contributed as much as Megan did last year she would have been in contention for some of those lesser awards-but she wasn't. Had Anna contributed as much as Megan last year she surely would have been named one of the top 10 freshman in the country by ESPN-but she wasn't.

I'm hoping that Westbrook is going to be a key contributor this year but she hasn't played competitive basketball for almost two years and recently had some more surgery on her knee or knees .... the presumption that she is going to be a dynamo for this team and Anna is going to be almost an afterthought is based on nothing more than an opinion .... there aren't all that many people here on the Boneyard who have ever seen Westbrook play and have a sense of her abilities .... didn't someone post quite a while back that she had some serious turnover issues when she was with Tennessee .... why are people that apt to minimize Anna and her contributions last year and yet assume that Westbrook was a great talent (without seeing her play) and not be wary of her coming back from a pretty serious knee issue ... why can't we assume that Anna might experience a good sized jump after her freshman year, particularly considering the fact that she not only came into a new program that historically plays at a high level but that she was coming to a new (foreign, to her) country and dealing with all the social issues that she may have been experiencing .... I would suggest that most players, no matter how talented, would have difficulties going into a completely new culture and not have troubles adapting to it all ....
No she had Stewie
But as good as Stewart was she wasn't a rival for the starting pg position.
You know yeah!I guess that means Aubrey will be average 26 points a game.
26 points is silly. 26 steals makes more sense.I guess that means Aubrey will be average 26 points a game.
The suggestion that I'm a hater is pretty ludicrous but you're entitled to think what you may .... I don't think there was a big difference between the two of them and their contributions and I'll continue to stick with that .... I know that Anna came into a completely new environment, new country, different customs and after a really slow start, at least shooting wise, she played at a pretty high level .... I'm not suggesting A/A worthy but pretty impressive, considering what she was dealing with .... For some people to suggest that Anna couldn't come back and have a big sophomore bounce .... for example, look much Kelly Faris grew during her UConn career .... she had very little impact at all on the Huskies in her freshman year but inevitably, how did she develop? Initially she was a just a decent defensive player but she evolved into a very impressive player, growing significantly, particularly offensively from that freshman season .... I thought that Megan was a good player but that she didn't have an A/A type season last year .... I'm more focused on what kind of player Anna could possibly develop into, considering her trimming down and with a difficult season behind her ....That just luda and boder line playa hatin. There are many awards well below the level of AA. For example All-Conference and National Freshman of the year. Had Anna contributed as much as Megan did last year she would have been in contention for some of those lesser awards-but she wasn't. Had Anna contributed as much as Megan last year she surely would have been named one of the top 10 freshman in the country by ESPN-but she wasn't.
Ranking the top 10 freshmen in women's college basketball
We'll have to wait a year for them to make their NCAA tournament debuts, but these freshmen stood out this season and should star in 2020-21.
I guess I owe Megan an apology because I didn't realize that her stats were nearly that impressive .... for some reason, I thought that she was closer to 16 or 17 points a game .... Anna shot the three at over 40% and that's after a slow start but I think that she focused more on distributing the basketball and didn't put up a big amount of shots .... I do think that Anna's value to the team was a lot more than the numbers suggest ....
It was supposed to be a satire full of conjecture and speculation. realistically I think Anna will have a wonderful season and show how complete a player she really is. I think Paige and Anna are our best outside shooters and best passers. Time will tell until then it is ALL conjecture and speculation.
