Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4289609, member: 1131"] It's artificial and misleading to characterize this choice as "either/or". Clearly UConn has two scholarships available for 2022-23, so it can absorb both a Big and a guard if players who can help are available and are interested. If a player is available/interested/ready at one position and not the other, then obviously UConn should take the player it can get. However, I do think there is a greater urgency at the guard position. The backups behind Dorka and Aaliyah are less than ideal for the reasons that you mention, but the backups at guard for Paige and Azzi are really limited to Nika and no one else. I don't think playing Caroline in the back court for any length of time is a good use of her skills, nor is it where she can make her biggest contribution. So I think it is more important to get a guard from the portal than a front court player -- but, as noted, it is not an either/or situation. [/QUOTE]
