Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3948069, member: 1673"] ???? She was an example of just the opposite! Collier had her second worst season that year (freshman being worst), and Stevens was a major reason why. Stevens joined a roster that exceeded expectations the year before, having just lost the Big Three. Her presence led pundits to consider us heavy favorites, unlike the year before. That roster had five starters besides Stevens that are all doing well in the pros now, yet we lost to a depleted Notre Dame. Stevens was a good talent, but to say she helped the chemistry, the way the team played or did not play to their potential, just does not jive with the evidence. A better example of a transfer helping chemistry would be Hunter. Yet she was limited by her injuries and, as evidenced in Thomas's book "The Heart of a Husky," there remained issues regardless. Maybe I should add that by "chemistry" I mean how well a team plays together, anticipates each other's moves, compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses on the court. [/QUOTE]
