Cure Your Moriah Fix With This...

Phooey - my computer froze on me as I was posting. The question was whether her style of shooting inside will be sustainable in the WNBA.

Cabbie,
I think her speed will translate to the next level but she will not get nearly as many shot inside. MoJeff also has relatively small hands and feet and this may also be a problem at the next level. Right now a good portion of her palm is involved in her jump shot. As a freshmen & Sophomore she had a tendency to carry/palm the ball while dribbling. To her credit palming/ carrying the ball is never a problem anymore so maybe with enough repetition her use of the palm on the shot can also be overcome permanently.

Just watched the vid again, 3rd or4th time.
What a dominating performance
What an amazing Husky.
So glad she's ours.
Still think, will always think, we could have gotten there earlier.
But that arguement is as stale as week-old bread.
Let's enjoy our own munchkin for one last year.
Go Moriah.

Still think and will always think you are wrong about the pace of her development.

I agree, the pace of her development was just fine. Contributor on a NC team as a freshmen, Starter on an undefeated NC team as a Sophomore, Lieberman award winner as a Junior and another NC. On Senior Night her name will go up on the Husky Wall of Honor and she will be top 5 WNBA pick. How much faster could she have possibly developed?

Ask her father…
Watch the tape of her High School antics

Every father thinks their daughter is the greatest thing since slice bread, so yes I would expect him to say she should have been a 4 year starter at UCONN. Then reality would set in and he would realize that she would have to beat out Kelly Faris, Caroline Doty, Breanna Banks & Bria Hartley to make that happen. There are plenty of HS and AAU hype tapes out there with better highlights than MoJeff's HS tape. If you want to go by HS Hype tape google T'ea Cooper (the one of her getting out of a helicopter)-man I just don't see how UCONN missed out on that kid. MoJeff progression was just fine & it's not over yet, so as TO would say 'get your pop corn ready".

And the #3, 4, and 5 players have exactly ZERO national championships combined.

I still dispute Morgan being as low as #6.

Morgan's # 6 rating at the time was due to injury. Very comparable to Gabby last year who would have definitely cracked the top 10 if she was Healthy (McCormack had her #1) and in the same ball park of where I would expect Tori McCoy to be for the remainder of HS. We got 2 great players in Morgan and Gabby regardless of ranking. I wish us similar luck with Tori.
