I'm hopeful that Brady will be a substantial physical presence inside next season.........she's slimmed down some over the past year which has improved her quickness but she appears bigger and most likely stronger than any current UConn playerCouple of comments starting with the title of the post which is really a false straw man. By characterizing the need as a low post banger that sort of implies that this is the only need-banging in the low post. I would characterize the need this way: UCONN needs a skilled post player with the basketball skill level to be a part of the regular rotation or start with a bigger body than we currently have on the roster. I'm deliberately not specifying a height because if the player happens to be like Morgan Tuck at 6'2" I'd be over joyed! It is important to frame things this way because if I'm looking for just a banger then we could simply pack all that weight back on Piath and throw her down there in the post. It also would rule out a player like Dorka for filling the need but we both know that banging in the low post is not a Dorka strength.
Regarding your numbered points.
1) South Carolina lost two games this season so they can be beat and while Boston might be a generational talent we cannot concede defending her or attempting to slow her down. A bigger body will be useful in this regard.
2) Brink and Cunnane are entirely different body types that Boston-A bigger body will be useful in slowing them down also.
3) Firmly disagree with that first sentence but seeing as Liv is a few short weeks from graduation I spare her another detailed critique.
4) On the current roster AE is best equipped for banging but I agree she needs help.
