Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3536264, member: 1673"] Chemistry is at least as important as experience, particularly at the guard spot (which tends to develop faster), particularly with a teaching coach like Auriemma. I have no idea whether Carrington would help or hurt chemistry in the present, nor does anyone on the BY. There are reasons for either way. In either case there is a cost to future development of players. And by preserving chemistry and looking to help the team in the present, let us keep in mind what the lofty goals are at UConn. Championships are the goal, Final Four is an acceptable consolation, after that you have folks on the BY standing on ledges. So if Carrington is going to help chemistry it better not be to the tune of a slightly higher MOV, or even an extra game or two won during the regular season. It better be the difference maker between getting a championship or not at the end of the season, when everyone now is more experienced, otherwise you've borrowed from future development for an unsatisfactory return in the present.
