I’m not 100% sure she does have strong pro aspirations. There have been a few hits that she might be more interested in a broadcast career. Of course I’m rooting for her regardless of what she decides to pursue.Evina has strong pro aspirations and her play the last month or so puts her in the best position she is likely to have to get good draft position., Besides, being called Great Grandma by the new class is too much of a sacrifice,
I like it and agree. I might consider Abby a 2/3 and Aubrey a 3/4, where who you back up Caroline with depends on whether you want defense (Aubrey) or a perimeter offensive player (Abby). That roster has quite a bit of versatility in many ways, and I like your unofficial recruitment of Abby. A quick decision from her could after Princeton's last game. If so that would be a cherry on top of the Dorka news.
Someone who wants a chance at a National Championship!
She is the Ivy League player of the year this year from Princeton who recently announced she is transferring. Getting her would be huge as she would help fill some of the question marks this team has next year.
Java, I was a little skeptical too, but then I also thought Tom Brady’s heart was NOT in his retirement announcement 2 months ago. Not too many people did. His lips were moving, but he didn't sound like he was serious. So I’m 1 for 2.I had a feeling she would NOT return because of Senior Day. However, JavaWoman contends that I am wrong most of the time anyway.Difference is, this time I actually was
...and happy about it.
A better Dorka, actually.....she is learning new tricks every day, it seems.
What question marks? Especially now that Dorka declared she is returning? The only thing I see is whether Aubrey comes back whole and stronger (physically and mentally). She is likely going to see action as a guard/wing.
I think she will be much better than that!
One that wants a NC ring and description in front of her name forever, e.g. National Champion Mary Smith and wants to become part of the UCONN family. That's who.
I think it will be a better Dorka next year too, but largely because she can concentrate on the C position instead of splitting her time between there and PF.
She is already doing that. Geno is, for all intents and purposes, rotating Liv and Dorka at the five and Alijah and Caroline at the four.
You are right it's a big deal. Dorka, in my opinion had a major role this season. I hate to think of how it would have developed without her. I believe Geno will develop his 2 current post from the bench but experience happens in games playing Geno's Basketball. Dorka is fully conversant in Geno's basketball by now. I think she'll be a great role model.
I'm not an expert, but by observation: It took Dorka nearly half the season before she smoothly moved in and out of the rotation and she's got 5 years of college experience. Any transfer or new Frosh won't (unless she is Caroline) will move right in and produce.
I think she will "roam" between the two sort of like what Stewie did but she's not as athletic - we'll see if her 3-pt shooting pct goes up to what it was one season at OSU.
They all could come back, but it's not going to happen.
Good assessment including your wish/hope for Abby Meyers. Wthout her, one injury and we are at risk in the critical point guard slot. DeBerry and Aubrey the two big wild cards. Can see DeBerry getting more physical and earning minutes. Suspect it will take time for Aubrey to get back on track but certainly possible.
While Azzi is a great ball handler, the only true point guards next year are Paige and Niki. Each has missed games in the past and Geno likes to move Paige from time to time to shooting guard. I view this as similar to Dorka who came to a team with 4 bigs and earned her minutes.
