Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4010234, member: 267"] This team has an overabundance of talent. This is advantageous if one of our key players gets injured...we can replace them with a quality player whose insertion into the line-up will not be catastrophic to the flow and chemistry of our starters. It will also benefit our players as the competition during practice will be crazy off the charts and that will translate to a better, more well-oiled team that eventually takes the floor as starters. It will also prevent our players from getting midseason to late season fatigue which can also lead to additional injuries. Our coaches will have the flexibility to try many different combinations of players that will present more options to our coaching staff...and it will keep our opponents off balance not being able to effect match-ups to keep up with the all the different ways UConn will be able to score. Inside, outside, off the dribble, pull-up jumpers, good ball movement our team is going to be an absolute nightmare for most of our opponents. With all that being said...what is there not to like about this team? Dorka a proven division one interior player, Olivia Nelson Odota - experienced senior, proven interior player, Amari DeBerry - a future All American Interior player; Aaliyah Edwards - a sophomore, olympic interior player with a very successful freshman year behind her. Piath Gabriel - a legitimate big, admittedly a work in progress, but poised to make a sophomore leap with plenty of bigs pushing her. Aubrey Griffin - my favorite player...because I believe her ability is still untapped, we have seen glimpses of her ability and I think she still has the ability to perform as a starter, her one area that needs to improve is her consistency with the short range jumper. If she gets her shooting to improve there will be no stopping Aubrey. Mir McLean - very athletic player with a tremendous upside...she could easily develop into a 6 point / 5 rebound type of player. Then comes our swing / guards back court which I think is going to be the most exciting back court in women's college basketball. The fantastic five of Nika, Bueckers, Williams, Westbrook and Fudd is going to be ridiculously / scary good. I can't even imagine another back court as deep in NCAA Women's basketball. Throw in two sharp shooting three point shooters who have size like the 6'2" twins of Ducharme and Poffenbarger and you tell me...what coach in his right mind would want to face UConn a true juggernaut in the women's game?
