Courtney Moving Ahead of Saniya in Depth Chart?

[CocoHusky]

I DID NOT imply in my post that Saniya only lost confidence and consistency after the Stanford game her sophomore year!!

You are correct you did not imply it, you stated it.

" They go play Stanford in the 2nd game of the year.....they're in a dog fight.... no one is performing well on offense except for Stewie, so Saniya confidently steps up, as a sophomore, and fires in 20 pts in a losing cause...did she play good defense, NO..... neither did several others! Geno yanks Saniya out of the starting lineup after that game.and I don't think she's been the same since...."

Are you actually reading what you write or did someone hack your account?

Saniya was a Sophomore at the time of the Stanford game and had rightly earned her starting spot. But her inconsistent play and loss of confidence did not start after the Stanford game as you are implying. It actually started early in her Freshmen year. For example, Saniya came off the bench as a Freshmen and was brilliant sparking the team against Stanford 3rd game of the season when it seem like no one else could find the basket. By the end of the season she was not a part of the regular rotation but had several good moments during the season.
If you feel bad for Saniya you should also feel bad for Senior Kiah Stokes because she was also removed from the starting lineup after the Stanford game. All-American Bria Hartley was removed from the starting line also-For the benefit of the team. UCONN WCBB is a very competitive (perhaps the most competitive). Geno pushes buttons constantly but don't believe for one second that there is a player sitting on the bench that could help the team win and Geno and the staff have not found a way to utilize that player.

I'm agreeing with you in my 2nd post........Saniya's inconsistency and wavering confidence DID start in her freshman year.....not in her sophomore year (and I never implied it STARTED in her sophomore year)

What you are missing is that Saniya had gotten past those inconsistencies and confidence issues from her freshman year, playing well enough at the start of her sophomore year to earn a starting position. And then, when Geno removed her from the starting lineup, I believe, Saniya was shook up so much that those inconsistencies and confidence issues began to reappear from her freshman year and began to drag her down again during her sophomore year.

Chalk it up as a miscommunication between us.

I was not in anyway equating Chong's situation with playing pro basketball with my very true story. What I am saying is that a talented player at this level should have the drive and self esteem to want to play at the highest level they can and not be content to sit on the bench, you or I or any of the other pompous characters on here can sit on a bench.

To the the one who thinks that the Chong family would take my advice, you sir obviously take yourself and this blog way too seriously.

Professor, I got your point about the college environment and yes if she is happy with all the things you mentioned she should and will no doubt stay at Uconn, but in MHO her extreme talents are being wasted.

Lastly, for the person who called me a liar, she was Parade Mag NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR. Now, if you think any of these rating services are on the level you my friend must be smoking legal dope in Colorado.
These rating services are an extension of AAU teams, tournaments and sneaker contracts.
In addition, you imply that she could not be a star in the Big 10, Big East, Big 12 or ACC. I guess you know more than the coaches from these 3 conferences who falling all over themselves while very actively recruited her out of high school as did Luigi and his staff.

My whole point is that not every kid responds to any one type of coaching. Many kids do not respond well to being singled out nationally for your team loosing a game, being verbally abused, being belittled in practice and after games or having their heads messed with by some amateur psychologist with a whistle. Again I am not the HOF, 10 NCAA chip coach. I am just a fan who thinks this kid has not been treated fairly or coached to her full potential. End of story, bye bye.
I am now the biggest Notre Dame fan in the world, get it done Muffin.

You saying Parade Mag NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE YEAR (Your revised post) is the same as National Player of the Year (Your Original post) would be like me saying I did not actually call you a liar, I just said it was "Pinocchio like". Luigi is what some people on the Orange board call Geno when they are trying to be disrespectful or cute. Just let us know which one you were trying to be.
Before you get ahead of yourself there was exactly 1 Big 10 school which offered Saniya it was Ohio State.
Here is the video in Saniya own words.

So who is going to be the PG next season? Please tell me.
This is one of two questions that is bothering me most.
Will Kia be the PG? Or Chong? or Xtal? Or will it be by committee?

The other question is what happens if Natalie is injured or fouls out.
All teams will play us physical.

Kia Nurse will be the PG and Dangerfield will get as much time as possible off the bench- that's the way I see it!
