Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5272801, member: 12088"] I was thinking about tOSU in this regard. That was Jaci Sheldon’s team in her final two seasons. When she was injured, they struggled and when she returned they bounced back. It was never Cotie McMahon’s team even though she is a comparable talent. It’s as much a personality thing as a talent thing. After next season, UConn will be Sarah’s team. I don’t see any alternative. She will be who the team rallies around. But next season, even though KK is likely to be the loudest player on the court — and this is vitally important for a floor-leader — Azzi will be who they rally around, just as it was Paige the past two seasons. Sarah’s role will be huge as well. But Azzi has something to prove, and Sarah will likely benefit from helping her do it. Another season of ‘seasoning’ will be a great benefit to her until she has to take over from Azzi. In other words, Atlas puts the sky on his shoulders. According to the myth, he doesn’t also turn the heavens on their axis. KK is likely to lead the team on the floor, but she won’t also hold up the sky for the team. That will be Azzi. The myth also mentions a role for Hercules and I suspect we all know who that will be. [/QUOTE]
