Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3934939, member: 3630"] I think it would help the team and her to come back. But, I would support, equally, her wanting to turn professional. I am one of a fast diminishing few who hates this obsession with starting, playing time and "garbage time". I have admired for some time how Stanford manages to have a large contingent of players-- with a number of good players sitting, but getting playing time and contributing. Those who have the habit of pegging their hopes on every years recruit as the one(s) to get us over the top of the top might do well to think a little clearer. Ever since Nurse and Gabby, Uconn has not have a defensive guard or small forward/wing (whatever) that can neutralised a quick and aggressive guard. These guards have single-handedly reek havoc on us and have contributed to their team winning. Arizona was a repeat of ARK. a repeat of MSU, and of course ND and Stanford. Is there a solution to this in the incoming class!! Geno promised that we will be back at the Final 4 so he may know something. But since the consensus here is that we are going to shoot the lights out then why worry about defending. Another thing I have noticed about this version of the Uconn team is how frightfully predictable their offense had become. At times it seems as if I had the game running in slow motion. If the coaches had to scale back then it worked on lesser teams, but any good coach with a defensive minded team would exploit it. [/QUOTE]
