Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4011636, member: 11020"] If our LY starters have great years this coming season I will be thrilled. They are the ones who put in all the work LY, they are the ones who felt the pain of not reaching their collective goal, they are the ones who need to kick some ass this season. We are talking about Azzi, Caroline, and Dorka as if we need them to largely contribute to our team for it to be successful. Truthfully, we probably will, but nothing would feel better to me if Nika, Evina, and ONO had great years, contributing so much that Geno cannot take them out of the starting line-up. They did some great things LY, and if they can step it up more consistently, this team will be unbeatable. Understanding that Azzi and Dorka will indeed play a big role this year, but the others can play important fill in minutes, to learn as well as contribute. There is a learning curve for freshmen, lets not forget that. Paige and Aliyah were exceptions, so we need for our veterans to step up and teach these freshmen the UConn formula for success and not put undue pressure on them to perform like the former freshmen I have mentioned. We already are a solid team, lets not forget what we have, and not overthink what can be. [/QUOTE]
