Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2263660, member: 5823"] Playing out of position and where Geno chooses to deploy a particular player are two different things. Geno saw something in Gabby and determined that she would be best utilized in the post=pure genius. Genius because at the time Geno saw this UCONN already had arguably the best 3 post players on the same UCONN roster in Stevie, Morgan, Kiah Stokes. When I say playing out of position I'm mostly talking about defensively. It takes a combination of bulk and size to defend the post on a consistent basis. Gabby is athlete to overcome much of this but not all. For example Gabby can and did out jump Turner of ND and snag rebounds but a sturdier 6'7" McGowan of Miss. State exhausted her and easily out maneuvered her in the post down the stretch. [/QUOTE]
