Message: [QUOTE="VAMike23, post: 2510562, member: 150"] Just wanted to give a shout out to The Real Danger for (among many things) the extra dimension she adds to the offense with her incredible arsenal of shots. Against USF she wasted no time in her attack and immediately treated us to a beautiful little tear drop floater that drew nothing but net. Her quickness and creativity with the ball in her hands are something very rare even for UCONN WBB. Other times she uses the glass in the midrange on those little pull-up jumpers, in a way that looks more like a pro than a college player. If Bill Raftery called our games, he'd be exclaiming "..with a little [I]kiss![/I]" in admiration after many of her shots. She just has 'it'. Honestly I think that because she: a) is so explosive for her size and b) shoots her most jaw-dropping shots on the rise--ever so slightly before she reaches her apex--she is just a little off sometimes and puts a bit too much mustard on the ball. Touch is at true premium in these circumstances, much more so than for garden variety jump shots that can be executed the same way every time. As time goes by and she refines the requisite touch even further, certain parts of her game will likely go where no other Husky has gone before. And she does it all in the mold of a pure PG; never forcing her game but rather taking opportunities and attacking at the right moments. She is a special, special player. Such a joy to watch -- for the rest of this season and two more years to come! How lucky are we. [/QUOTE]
