“Morgan’s unbelievable,” he said. “She makes threes. She makes the right pass all the time. Defensively, she’s always in the right spot. She finishes around the basket or gets fouled. She picks up things so quickly, just like that. Now you know me …” - And we know that the Hall of Fame coach is usually not that quick to give freshmen such rave reviews.

What a great quote. It reminds me a little of what he said about Kelly when she was a freshman.
Please keep in mind that I do love Kelly,but.... it sounds like Morgan is more of a scorer..... so it is like Kelly with a scoring threat....

Anyways get that feeling from this quote?

Like we've been saying....
Give peace a chance.
Good that Geno's caught on!
Now, lets focus on Mo Jeff for a minute.

Breanna Stewart - #1

Moriah Jefferson - #2

Morgan Tuck - #3 ?????

not sure i get this comment. there's a big long thread on Moriah that many have commented on. were you trying to be funny, or "speak" tongue-in-cheek? Why hijack a thread on Morgan to try to focus on Moriah? unless, as i said, i misread it and you were trying to be funny...

we've all seen the statistics and how great Morgan has done not only in HS, but on every US national team she's played for. i means this as no disrespect to her, but IMHO her ceiling is not as high as Mo or Bree's. Not because Morgan isn't really talented, but because she's so damn good already. most everyone says that she is not flashy, but simply does everything really well.

we are gonna be so lucky to get to watch this young lady for 4 years...

Sorry Eric
My attempts of humor are often not very successful especially full of Chinese Oxi-corton for a nasty disc in my neck
Apologies!
Of late, I have been touting Ms Morgan's horn throughout a bunch of threads. I think she is going to have an absolutely wonderful career and I'm positively delighted (which is what I was sarcastically trying to communicate) that everyone seems to agree with me.
There seemingly being a growing consensus on that point, I was just moving on.

Morgan really gets it.

“Wearing No. 3 (at UConn) is a big thing. It’s Diana. It’s Tiffany. They’re great players. I know that I’ll play my hardest because I’ll be representing them, the University, and my sister.”

She has elements of Swin, Asjha, and Tamika in her game. Though Breanna and Moriah were consensus 1 and 2 in their class, Morgan is as ready for college ball as any frosh in the country. She will play like an upperclassman much of the time. She is solid. Really solid.

My favorite quote - "UConn’s exhibition opener against Indiana University of Pennsylvania just three days away"

 

[msf22b]

Yes, Doggy, I just figured out how to get WTIC in Beijing; mighty pleased.

When I saw the kids scrimmage in early September Morgan played great. She hit a three and then backed it up with around a 6 for 7
showing from inside 4 feet. Several times it looked like she would get her shot blocked but it never happened. Through timing, clever post moves she got them
all of and hit 'em. Super solid player!

Solid is right! That's a perfect word for her game.

I have a feeling that another word will also be closely associated with Morgan throughout her career: ..Execution.

I expect that she will execute the dreams of numerous opponents over the next four years.

In his chat, Altivilla called Tuck a combination of Nykesha Sales and Jamelle Elliot. I think we'd all be super happy to see her morph and grow as a combo of those 2...

Sounds an awful lot like Ashja.

The opposition will view her as THE EXECUTIONER!
