Heck if she wants to go to a school with a great football program good for her. IMO her focus should be on BB and working with the very best coaches. Now TX and ND have very good WBB programs but UConn is elite. There are no other elite WBB programs only good ones. Hey Megan is a terrific BB player. She will do well where ever she goes. At UConn IMO she would be developed better but we will never know if she doesnt come. We cant get everybody but we do get enough to make UConn the standard in WCBB. We have the players to be a top team for the next few years so lets not be overly concerned if we dont get Walker. There will be others and we will get some not all. Look what our roster looks like now and for the next few years. We have alot more talent then most. Fans are thinking this is a down year for UConn. Well losing our Big 3 is a down year but looking at what every other team lost they are not in as good shape as UConn. With all we lost we are still a FF team this season. How far we go will be dependent on the development of team chemistry and cohesiveness.
This season opponents will key on KLS and Kia. That means everybody else has to step up. We wont have Stewie backing up on defense which means if we take chances on defense or get beat on defense Stewie is not there to bail out the defense. This season for the first time in a long time we dont have a nucleus coming back of upper classman. We dont have that dominate player(s). We have questions marks on who will develop, who will start, who can hit a clutch shot, how will we play as a unit and who will be the leaders on the team. There are more. Still we are a top 3 team.
Early season we will be tested and that will exploit our weaknesses as well get our focus. We may lose some games. We most likely wont win every game by double digits. There will be alot of learning and growing this season but thats the way it will be with alot of teams. Discipline on defense will be key. We cant have key players in early foul trouble but we will.
The past few years we have been at the highest level. No other team has been at that level. So expectations will still be high but not invinciblely high. We were invincible the past few years. This year are are really really talented but inexperienced because of all the underclassman on the roster. We will be fine.
