Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 4094336, member: 6911"] Let me point out that an actual expert, Coach Geno, commented that Gabriel had made great strides over the summer in her performance. She was always seen as a long-term project, but she was actively recruited by UConn. Gabriel is a muscular 6'5". And let's not forget how ONO plays. She is not a strong rebounder against good post players. Even against smaller players she habitually allows herself to be blocked out from the offensive boards. And against Fort Hays she did what she always does- stood at the 20' line and let fly. She's not an outside shooter. But that's, as Megan Culmo says, "what she's comfortable doing." Dorka was so much more mobile, more aggressive on the boards, and quicker than ONO. Over 18 minutes, ONO had five rebounds; over 15 minutes, Dorka pulled down eight. 15 points for Dorka; 8 points for ONO in three more minutes. A block for Dorka; none for ONO. Whether ONO continues to start isn't really the question. The question is who will be in there when it counts? I'm guessing it won't be ONO. [/QUOTE]
