Why bang with Boston when you can pull her far away from the basket. Dorka would help others to get a more favorable driving lane. For being 6-4 she is capable of shooting at a 40% clip from three when the coaches make the 3 a priority. She is a very good rebounder as well. She is the second best talent available in the portal. Imagine the possibility of a 5-out offense with constant motion by various cutters and 4-5 3 point threats. There a bunch of scenarios where her style would be very beneficial.


UConn needs toughness, more rebounding, and an interior finisher. I highly doubt they'd have interest in Juhasz based on three-point shooting.
 
4/6

2024 UConn POI Athena Tomlinson played her first high school game Tuesday:



Tomlinson was active on defense, playing with high hands and trapping Sanger’s guards before they passed half-court. Offensively, she attacked the paint often, totaling 12 points in her first high school game.


“I like how Athena played very aggressive as a freshman,” Montgomery said. “She just went out there and played her game, and I thought she did really well.”

Nyla Brooks – 2025 – 5-11 – Wing/Forward – Maryland Belles 2025 – All the athletic tools…Right hand heavy on the finish but very effective as it stands…Has some huge feet…Ceiling is so high…Makes free throws and the 15 foot jumper is useful too…Saves balls going out of bounds

If Anna's going to leave, that means more playing time for someone else. Too often afraid to shoot, a bit slow in staying in front of opponents on defense, and not a great rebounder. When she was hot, she was hot. Also, a terrific passer. However, we will be overloaded next year.
This is likely a good move for all parties. Some forget that at the end of 2020, Anna was the best 3 point shooter on UConn. Back then, she looked for her shot and Geno wanted to get her the ball. This past year, she was the 5th option and when healthy, rarely got the ball in a position to shoot. Predict this will be a situation similar to Nat. Butler. Most UConn fans remember her playing while hurt, but when healthy post transfer, was the top rebounder in the US. At UConn, Anna often had to play against guards, but at 6'2" would be a starting small forward and top shooter for many teams.

Her stats look mediocre.
If you compare career stats between Dorka Juhasz, Olivia Nelson Ododa, and Aliyah Boston:
[I'm not saying Dorka is better than either of these players just using them as a benchmark.]

Juhasz – 12.7ppg (47.6% FG, 40% 3FG, 55% FT) 12 rbg, 1.5 blocks a game, .7 assists per game
ONO 9ppg (50.4% FG, 18% 3FG, 55.6% FT) 6.4 rbg, 2 blocks a game, 1.9 assists per game.
Boston – 12.9ppg (55.4% FG, 20% 3FG, 74%) 10.3 rbg, 2.8 block a game, 1.3 assists per game. (has only played two seasons)

Obviously, team playing style matters when it comes to stats, but I'm not so sure Juhasz's stats are mediocre in comparison. It can also be argued Juhasz plays in a tougher conference than ONO (and based on tournament results, tougher than Boston). Juhasz also missed a month of play this past season with COVID and had her worst 3pt shooting season.

I think Juhasz will be a good pick-up for any team.
 
Dorka Juhasz, the 6-4 Ohio State transfer, started following UConnWBB on Instagram and Twitter. Will be interesting to see if the interest is mutual.
This gives you a look at her, scoring 23 points, and the play by play guy said she had 12 double doubles.

 
Geno is very selective on transfers and specifically based on team need. He much prefers to develop freshmen than the shortened timeline with transfers.

I don't think Uconn really 'needs' her or any other player at this point. The one advantage and the one thing he loses with Anna is maturity. And I agree that her stats are pretty good. And unlike Natalie, they were accumulated in a P5 conference.

She will help some team a lot.
 
You need to raise your expectation. :)

Can she defend Boston?

I'd love to have another big on next year's team. But for reasons of defense and rebounding.

I agree, but we also really need a big who can score against a big and possibly get her in foul trouble. Liv has not been able to score much when facing other big girls. But with Geno bringing in great shooters, that should open up things inside a bit. Who knows. I’d love another big transfer with experience, can’t hurt anything.

I think things will be changing now with new portal rules. I think in the future we’ll see more girls leaving and I don’t think Geno will be as hesitant to use the portal anymore. It hurts the coaches and teams as much as it can help them.

Yeah, I am sure he will adapt, and when he misses on recruits, he will go shopping. But for the moment he hasn't been missing on recruits and he has a large talented roster. He'll react if he has a class like 2017.
