I hope you’re right. She looks like a great one-on-one defender in many of the games I’ve seen. She gets impressive blocks and steals. This will be important, of course. But it’s not all there is to defense at UConn. There’s also team defense, which is about switching, being in the right place at the right moment, fighting through screens, diving for loose balls and chasing down rebounds. In other words doing all the little things that don’t always get noticed. And above all, tireless running and relentless effort.

To get a sense of this, watch Ash in any of the games in the second half of the season and the tournament. Or Azzi or Paige or Sarah or KK. As great as they all are, they don’t rest on laurels or focus on getting noticed. They’re all about effort and sacrifice for the team. That’s what Geno will expect of Blanca, and if she’s understood what Geno and CD are all about, she’ll understand this too.

I can hardly wait to see her play.
