Roll back time.....in the summer, folks were hotly debating that Stewart would be STARTING, and that by the time a few months had passed, some of the upperclassmen would by superseded by the freshmen.
There were those of us who kept advising not to get too caught up in all of the hoopla, that it takes time to learn the UConn system, and experience (i.e. the upperclassmen) should not be taken for granted.
We said that UConn is a complex precision based team with a learning curve that can be pretty steep. How funny now to read that folks appear to be disappointed with the freshmen thus far, and how sad.
The freshmen are learning - Stewie appears to be gaining confidence in her game and as time goes by we will see better and better performances - that is, assuming she can throw off the double and triple teams that swamp her when she even looks at the ball.
Morgan Tuck - I am impressed by her - she has great moves and I know that all of a sudden those bunnies that she is missing now will start to hit, and the cheering will be deafening. UConn is an adjustment, and I have faith that she will click, especially now (hopefully) that her injury is healed, and she can get more practices in with the team.
And Moriah - my sister and I call her Mighty Mite - I think that she is terrific - fast, but in control more than some of our other speedy point guards, and is fearless in the paint, and not troubled by shooting the long jumpers either. I like what I see
and I am going to enjoy the rest of this year and the next three watching these three kick and take no prisoners.
And are they as good as or not as good as, etc etc the other freshmen across the nation? I don't care.
