A lot of HS stars were the focus of their team's offense and never learned to play without the ball. Even Stewart looked lost at times early in her career. Makurat adjusted quicker because she wasn't the star on her league team. UConn sophomores come back knowing they belong instead of wondering. Confidence is amazing.
I agree that Bueckers will have a positive effect on Griffin. Griffin will learn that if she gets open the ball will arrive in the right spot at the right time. Bueckers will make all her team mates much more efficient.

Anna can do the same thing.

From what I have seen and heard from PB, she has the game and personality to be a DT type - having high expectations for teammates, a passion to win, the ability to get the ball where it needs to be. I don't know if Westbrook is that type or not.

I don't know Westbrook enough to judge. Bueckers has personality and fire.

She's a great passer but after watching Bueckers for 2 years she's the best passer I've seen since Maravich was at LSU. And yeah, I know it was high school.

I don’t know who has the edge, other than Anna has done it at D-1 level, but the two as a combo could give defenses nightmares.

UConn's best teams had several players who were elite passers. Both Makurat and Bueckers see the floor and can thread passes. That's going to result in me yelling YES! at my TV this season.

I'm looking for a BIG year from these two. A huge sophomore leap for both. They know the system now, and know what they're suppose to do.

I couldn't agree more. I thought that in the last month of the season they played as well or better than the rest of the team. That's saying a lot because everyone improved steadily, and I thought well enough to go to the Elite Eight and maybe even Final Four. I really look forward to this year. May it please happen.

What a turnaround in expectations. In the first wo months of last season, there were posters complaining that those two would not help the team and not talented enough to give the starters a rest. They may be the most improved returning players and that is projecting a lot because I believe CW and Ono are going to be much improved. Of course, you were not one of those posters of little faith. You seem to have a good eye for talent.
 
Carnac, agree 300%.
Just love that pix you posted of our A girls!
I remember so well seeing Anna in the exhibition game.....4th row. I thought she played outstanding!
My cheers were sooo loud I think the man next to me didn’t get it! Ha, well, we did!!
 
Is SNY going to televise the UConn games that aren't on National television this coming year?
 
Have to agree with @Buzzyboy and @and one. Aubrey has the most room to improve. Would also wish her into a 2 inch growth spurt.

How tall is her heart?

So far we have seen a joyful, athletic player with typical freshman jitters have one great game. One of the intangibles the coaches evaluate is 'heart' (in quotes because the term has several meanings). I assume we will see her display a great 'heart', courage, drive, and passion. But I believe she will be more dominant at 6'3" than 6'1". Don't you agree?
