I can see some resemblance to Jen.

Nika is going to be the face of women's basketball in Croatia.

She may have gained that status on April 8 after a certain tweet.

The flip side of that is a big thinking she'll just be a rebounder and a clean up lay up 2d chance baller.

Maybe. But it’s seems pretty clear that both are always looking for the open teammate with a better shot. If a big had basketball smarts they’d know these two are a front court player,s ticket to the pros.

Oh I agree. Just look at how Paige made Ms. Boston look so good last summer. I was just offering the thing thought by unthinking bigs and whispered by other coaches to such recruits.

She ever improves that shot she's going to be unstoppable on pick-and-rolls.

She won the Pick And Roll Award. They don't tell us what it is given for however.

Any recruit should easily see that good posts at UConn (Rebecca, Tina, Stef, Azura) get a lot of passes and score a lot of points. If they can get assists from Paige / Nika / Evina, they should be able to rack up huge scoring numbers.

However, you are correct that Geno will expect any 6-4 or taller players also to get a major volume of rebounds at both ends of the court. Those who don't want to get their uniforms dirty in the paint will not get a lot of minutes. There seem to be an increasing number of players who, despite their height, really don't want to do that (e.g., A'ja Wilson, KLS, even possibly Kalani Brown). They are going to have a tough time with Geno (and he with them) if they try to maintain that attitude in a UConn uniform -- which, fortunately, Lou did not (to her great benefit for her WNBA career).
