Coming from the PAC 12 fan?! I’m glad you know the facts!

I may be a homer, but I'm a realist. Of active coaches, Mulkey has 3 and Tara has 2 (and will probably retire somewhat close to the same time Geno does), a handful of others have 1. Who has any real chance of getting to double figure Titles? Mulkey is less than a decade younger than Geno and Tara. Unless she suddenly starts winning one every other year, there's just no way.

I can tell already that this will be the main theme of the next round of "worrier posts". UConn now has too many talented players on its roster; how can Geno possibly give them all enough minutes so that they don't get unhappy and transfer (since we all know how liberal the NCAA has gotten with transfers ...)?

Half the team will transfer out so that they can get minutes, and then UConn will finish in the bottom tier of the New Big East. We are dooooooomed!

Lighten up Francis, it is a legitimate concern. We all know there have been hundreds of transfers in WBB. If the freshmen can be patient they will develop and multiple championships are probable.

If she continues to develop, she would likely start from day 1 here. She is terrific.

That’s going out on a limb considering that two really good 6’5” posts will be on the roster.

Well, we can’t have it both ways. BY’ers have been complaining about a lack of quality depth and size since 2016. Now that Geno and his staff have leapfrogged the competition to line up a remarkable group of talented recruits we’re gonna complain about too many players on the roster?

Which problem would you rather have? I’m gonna choose the “too many players” problem. I’ll let Geno and his staff worry about that one because I’ll be,

Nestled all snug in my bed.
With visions of championship banners dancing in my head.

I hope Geno can keep 12+players happy.

I'm sure it's a problem he'll take: It's a better situation than trying to create somethin' out of nothin'.
(I'm speaking from real-life experience watching five walk-ons at ND last night.
:rolleyes: Head bang )

Congrats to UConn fans and Boneyarders for a very solid get. Geno and Chris identified Ms. DeBerry early on and never took the pedal off the metal. Admirable the way they took care of business.

Wow! So If my math is correct, the Irish are currently playing with only 6 recruited scholarship players?

Yup. :eek:

The Irish were playing last evening when the DeBerry news broke so my eyes were glued to events in South Bend. Brunelle looks beat up by the fouth quarter from having to play post on defense. (No legs on her jumper.) That's why that Tennessee match-up against their board-hounds could be hard. Very hard.

Thank you-know-who we have 6'4" or 6'5" Nat Marshall coming in 2020. I sat next to she and her family at the Fordham game and she was considerably taller than this 6'2" poster. Like UConn, we need to get another post to join her!

Dang it, some BYers are going to have to come up with something different to whine about, now that the "no size" thing seems to be getting blown out of the water. :rolleyes:


wow, somebody literally did exactly that as I was typing this--good job!

I watched Marshall play twice in the Federation Cup this past March. She certainly has talent. The one issue is that she will need to learn to play in the paint. CTK had two other senior frontcourt players, both D1 signees, who did much of the dirty work in the paint while Marshall played on the perimeter. With the seniors on to college, hopefully Marshall will move her game inside this season. If not, MM will need to pursuade her to do so once she gets to South Bend.

You forgot to mention the Australian prospect that wanted to come to UConn until the elders on the Aussie national team apparently twisted her arm to stay Down Under. I can't recall her name just now, but she was taken in the WNBA draft and may play on this continent after all. EZI MACBEGOR!!!

One has to wonder whether, if one or two of those players had come to Storrs, UConn might not have gotten Edwards, Gabriel, and/or Deberry. If that is true, then their decisions not to come were "all for the best".

I think this is a case where UCONN could have had its cake and eaten it too or however that expression goes.
Ezi would have first suited up for UCONN in the 18-19 season. Worse case she would have been the 7th man and at best case a starter. This season would have been her Sophomore campaign and she would have have killed all debate about who the 5th starter might have been. Edwards and Gabriel will not arrive until next season when Ezi would have been an established junior, likely starter and at a minimum a mentor to both players. DeBerry does not arrive for 2 season when Ezi would either be playing in the WNBA or a senior starter and mentor to DeBerry.
