Where is the hyperlink? In regard to fundamentals also note Dailey once said, "We don’t want to have to worry about matching up to other teams, we want to force them to match up to us." Moriah Jefferson was moslty recruited because she was "fast" that's what the staff told Geno about her. Agot with Blanca and KK - and Kelis and Q - there is a development of "fast." While Agot can have deficiencies in some fundamentals I highly doubt it's poor for a #4 ranked recruit. Thus her elite athletcism would/could overcome that. I'm guessing that's why she's rated 4th. Her fundamentals probably aren't "poor."
Looks like I'm in a minority here.
With respect to all that disagree with me - and the excellent I and I mean excellent posters that do disagree with me--on this thread (you are excellent Cuango and Bonedog as are you are Nyc
) (I thought it best to reply to the last post made to me by you rather than individually post to all 3.) - imo height is extremely overrated. Iowa beat SoCar once and played them pretty close this past year. Who were Iowa's "Centers" during these times? How tall were they and how tall in comparison vs their opponent?)? If they were able to compete (and win) with such smaller lineups at the Center position then there is no way UCONN can't win with their group of 3+ Bigs. UCONN has three that should be very capable of defending the post with another year .
Geno might prefer Somfai I don't know. But Geno also loves to play small and play fast. He loves to run. He doesn't want to play slow-ball. To further this, If UCONN gets Agot added with Blanca and with all the posts and guards UCONN has - then all the talk of pressing and/or variation of ball pressure etc is highlighted with freak athletes UCONN would have with Blanca and Agot. **I do understand that with his offers in 2026 to smaller plays in the 6 foot range" that it sems he could be fine with a preference of a Big because the 2026 6'0 players are also terrific. So maybe they can be content in terms of preference because they have "enough." . But with that said, that’s why I'm saying UCNN already has enough Bigs too. So instead they could just look to get the better player rather than be so focused on height. Agot looks like a freak athlete. Maybe she isn't I don't know. But she looks terrific. Anyhow, in Geno I trust.
As far as Sarah wishing to play, her favorite player was Maya Moore. Other than her frosh year in which she was mostly the SF and under duress her sr year when Stef got into foul trouble, Maya was UCONN's PF yet she played the same style she did in the WNBA in which she was predominantly the SF. IMo there is no reason to believe that Sarah can't be a PF on Offense and Defense and play the game like a Stretch 4 but also be a hammer in the paint. Thus her game easily would transition to the WNBA without UCONN having to force themselves to play "Big" if the talent is more with the smaller Wings/Guards. In addition, UCONN has had stars play in different positions in College than in the pros. Gabby is more a guard now. Swin Cash was inside but in WNBA at her peak was a big-time slasher. And late in her career she had a 3pt shot. Morgan Tuck played a lot on the inside and guarded more of the bulkier centers; she wasn’t going to do that in the pros.
As for the lineups, why go "Big" with Sarah at the SF with Lara and Ice as the PF (assume Jana is the Center) next year if the Guards and Wings are better, and just keep Sarah at the 4? (This all assumes ofc Sarah is terrific). WHo knows at this point. Just fun discussion.
