Very excited to hear such enthusiasm. Hope you are right. But better than Maya?

Zero. I don't think Geno favors the dunk.

I remember Geno saying to Stewie that she should make "wow" plays. If Ayanna can dunk at 80%, Geno would be fine with it.
 
There was an episode of the Geno Auriemma show where he referenced dunking and Stewie (I think Moriah was part of it too) and he was ok with it as long as she didn't miss. I'm paraphrasing off memory, but I am sure someone on here has the clip or knows the episode. The game they were referencing was an at SMU I believe.
 
Well as many layups that have been missed I’m sure he won’t mind her missing a dunk or two! Just kidding but not…
 
Players take a pretty big development leap their 1st year of college generally. Most high school kids have never had that level of conditioning or even training table food. She struggles to dunk now but what if she loses 10 lbs and does more strength and jump work in the gym? I just hope she doesn’t worry much about dunking but focuses on rebounding, put backs, defense and a pull up jumper.

Who struggles to dunk?
 
You know what would blow my socks off (even though I usually don't wear socks)? Seeing Ayanna dunk over a certain player (or 2) from SoCar.

You know what would blow my socks off? Ayanna coming down, hitting two straight pull ups over a certain player or 2 from SCar, then pull down a tough rebound and set a high screen for an Azzi 3. You'd hear my screams from NYC.

I only specified a dunk due to the OP's video...
But your idea is certainly a good one.
 
Ayanna Patterson is the 3rd or 4th ranked player in America , depending on the rating service. She is the most athletic forward coming out of high school in years, yet some on this forum question her playing time and contribution. It's very simple/ she will be starting from day 1 !

Did a double take: Is that Ayanna?

Thank you for the welcome. The rotation this season will be game and situation specific. Auriemma has 6 players who are terrific athletes. Fudd, Edwards, Patterson, Griffin, Ducharme and Senechal will present matchup nightmares for most opponents. The only question is the performance of the bigs, Juhasz, Brady, and DeBerry and that answer will be the difference between a good season and a championship.

When I read of those "preparing" for Uconn, it reminds me of the player from Arizona, going to Uconn, that took a year out of school to prepare. Ekmark. . Geno, is a different leader of a different program.

Only a few in UCWBB history have been "ready to bring it" on day one. Stewie, brought it, then on the 9th game--realization set it until the NC. Maya, DT, Rene, PAIGE, AZZI, Caroline brought it in their first games.
I hope, almost pray, you are correct. Stewie didn't doubt, for a while, DT didn''t for a while doubt their abilities. It creeps in to the psyche. When you find out all those things you could do easily, aren't so easy any longer. That's life. On the big stage reputations isn't the big factor any more.

Caroline Doty certainly brought it in her first game. Caroline Ducharme's first few games were rather unremarkable with more PFs and turnovers than points. Caroline Ducharme did not begin to put things together until the ND-the game in which Paige was hurt. She would achieve and main a torrid pace and was seemingly the only UCONN player with a pulse for a 7 game stretch in which UCONN only went 4 and 3.
