Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2057661, member: 1131"] I know it's not the same position, but Tina Charles (not just as a freshman, but also as a sophomore and even the early part of her junior year) was another example of someone whose maturity did not catch up to her talent until she had almost graduated from UConn. She was the one who inspired the comment from Geno about Carl Sagan -- that telling Tina something was like speaking to someone in a distant galaxy who was light-years away. The message wouldn't be received until the light passed through that entire distance, and that some day when Tina was married and had children, she would come back and tell Geno that she finally understood what he had told her when she was at UConn. I'm realize not all of that has occurred yet, but that memorable analogy proved to have a lot of validity in Tina's case, and I suspect the same thing will play out in Crystal's case. And Moriah as a freshman was not way ahead of where Crystal is now (if she was ahead at all). Crystal is being depended on to help win key games in a way that Moriah never was as a freshman (when Bria, Kelly, and Caroline were the first three guards in the depth chart). [/QUOTE]
