Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 3176985, member: 293"] Also... I tried to focus on Anigwe for most of the practice too. The only "negative" I saw was that she often needed corrections to her positioning both on offense and defense. Brandi Poole promised in a preseason interview that she would be "in Kristine's ear" continuously to try to get her up to speed quickly. That's happening. There was no sign of disinterest or poor attitude. As you said, Kristine runs the floor well, but I see that she is still a little intimidated by the size and speed confronting her on the finish. Like many bigs, developing a mid-range threat will open up all kinds of stuff inside. She seems to have a decent shooting stroke. GM's and coaches have said for years that UConn players come in "pro-ready". Geno has talked about teaching players to play basketball as opposed to learning "plays". Then there's CD's insistence on discipline and self-motivation. I have no knowledge of Cal's coaching approach, but I do wonder how much impact this has on new players in the W. [/QUOTE]
