Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4007670, member: 3535"] The two situations have a lot of similarities because of fans expectations. That's the point of Saylor and the point of Ducharme. I hope you're right but I can't recall one number 6 type of UCONN recruit that was a superstar in their frosh year. Why this one? Because Geno threw out a few lines during the summer? So those few sentences in a summer league we take to the bank for the entire year? I had a chance to watch one of her summer game go against Patterson and she couldn't hit. She had the same type of problems I would expect from a young player. Not consistent and bothered by another's athleticism. It's only 1 game can't take it to the bank but that's exactly the the type of player I'd expect for nearly any freshman ranked around 6 whom I would say doesn't have elite athleticism. But more importantly, who is she going to beat out? Definitely not Paige, Azzi or CWill, right? So you're saying she is going to beat out Nika? Or Evina? Or both? I can't imagine Nika not getting a decent amount of minutes because of her elite passing. So unless she can't shoot she is going to get time. And certainly with Evina's experience, she is going to get time. She's a WNBA prospect. As is Dorka. If Dorka shows she's capable this means less minutes for Evina at the PF and more at the 1-3. . So in big games unless UCONN is going to win comfortably, who is she going to beat out? It's not one thing from above but t's the accumulation of 3 with mostly - who is going to sit for her minutes when UCONN is already great at the combo of 1-3 positions- if their 5 of Paige, Azzi, Evina, CWill, and Nika are healthy? [B]I hope you're right she is a superstar as a frosh.[/B] But last year many were calling Saylor a sharp shooter - and she wasn't. Though injury probably had a ton to do with it. It's just that next year I don't want Ducharme to be "the next thing" that this past year Saylor supposedly was but it should never have been either. Ducharme shouldn't be "the thing" next year if she doesn't breeak into the lineup in big games this year either. [/QUOTE]
