The primary need is finding post backup for Olivia. Someone who can spell her for 3 minutes 3 times a game without a significant drop off on the defensive end.
I don't think there will be an issue with subbing for Olivia. UConn will be able to handle most teams with her playing 25 MPG. For the toughest opponents she's likely to play 30+ out of necessity and UConn should be fine with smaller lineups composed of super athletic players (Edwards, Mclean, Griffin) for the few minutes she's out. The bigger concern would be if Olivia gets injured; that's where depth would be more impactful. But it would be nearly impossible to replace her in that case anyway.
