What makes Azzi unique is her ability to (1) shoot the 3, (2) pull-up jumper and (3) drive to the basket. No one else on the team has demonstrated that skill set to date. In addition her time in grade and experience, she is a natural leader. Even more than Azzi, Caroline has the presence and resume to assist with leadership, both on or off the court.
that's my point..........if Azzi chooses not to come back UConn could use an additional outside shooter even though no transfer could totally replace her unique set of skills.....
Ash is shooting 41% from 3. Perhaps you meant to say she should look for her shot more, especially in high pressure games.
Agree that it isn’t known if Jana is a shot-blocker yet (which was the original assertion). Besides being a big which generally means it takes longer to develop, she is still recovering from Achilles injury- that may be hampering her leaping ability. Her offensive game is developing nicely
I might be missing something here
, but I was referring to Que Que Arnold.
If Ash would add the ability to drive to the basket and be a perceived threat there, it would open up the 3 and the short post up jumper.
Ash can drive to the basket, she actually scores plenty via layup.
The next great shooter at UConn is already on campus and she will show everyone next season just how good she really is! I give you….Allie Ziebell!
I know what she's capable of........now she just has to go out and do it.......
Let's agree to disagree.
The only thing standing in Allie’s way is defensive proficiency. That’s how she’ll get into games earlier, where she can show the world what she can do on offense. I suspect she’s been working on this full bore even now and will continue to do so over the summer.
It’s what the boneyard does
I know and I shouldn't be surprised.
NICE!
speaking of Serah Williams........
..........as long as Allie is making shots, she's going to play big minutes next season unless her defense is atrocious.......
If the Boneyard were a company, “thread drift” would be a core value.
Except Paige, Sarah, Ash, and Kaitlyn.
The reference was to skill sets on next years team, and to specifically address leadership roles. Sarah does indeed possess that skill set but has a personality that to date defers to others on leadership. Ash has not shown any proficiency in the ability to drive to the basket.
Are there any videos of her rebounding or posting up?
Many. Just check out YouTube.

Here she is as Wisconsin's only weapon against UCLA. Williams schools Betts at 1:40 of the video.
I think you should bite your tongue. It appears you are just trying to be contradictory. Sarah is a freshman, while she has the skills but remember she has Paige, Azzi and others who are already the player you want Sarah to be. Next year there will be at least 3 players no longer at UConn, plenty of time for Sara to become that leader you claim she now defers too. Open your eyes, Ash can and does drive to the basket when it is her best shot.
No doubt Auriemma is thinking the same thing.
