Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3616852, member: 3535"] How do you define what is a true and effective PF vs what UCONN has had over the last 15+ years? And why would you believe a website without knowing who loaded the information in? We're supposed to ignore that she played on Canadian Nat'l Team as a SF but just because some unknown person loaded her in as a guard we're supposed to treat that as gospel? Below in bold are all the players that were considered either a guard, sf, or we were concerned that they were too small or too soft to be a PF. Yet on our current team that has so many guards/ sf's without a PF we're supposed to believe the website instead? [B]Barb Turner[/B]- Was projected as a guard. Maybe a sf. [B]Charde[/B]- Was projected as a SF. Her best position was PF in her jr year. [B]Maya[/B]-- Was projected as a SF. [B]Stewart[/B]-- Was projected as a PF but early on was getting beat up enough and even into her soph and maybe even in her JR year there was talk on here to mover her to SF so she "wouldn't get beat up as much." You gotta love how sometimes this "unknown PF gets projected in some manner as if there is this monster 6'3 giant PF wider than the Mississippi that will crush any weakling set before her. [B]Tuck [/B]-- You can go back and read the posts in her 2nd full year leading up to Duke and South Carolina games how there was so much fear that she was too short to handle their bigs and Stewie wasn't strong enough to counter them either. [B]Walker --[/B] Was projected as a guard. Maybe a sf. --------- SO we see the following with Edwards and know enough of UCONN to make the following assumptions but we're supposed to bury our heads in the sand because some unknown possibly an intern didn't even watch her play and/or knows nothing of past history? 1-- That Edwards has the size. 1-- That Edwards has the build 1-- That Edwards has the athleticism 1-- That Edwards has shown in H/S she can play inside. 1-- That Edwards has shown vs much older players that she can play SF vs the older Nat'l players. 6-- That UCONN has an abundance of guards and small forwards but has very few with her size combined with her athleticism to play PF.
