Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4291817, member: 5798"] [B]I thought the same thing going into this past season.[/B] Earlier this week, we lost 3 seniors with 12 years of experience. They are being replaced by two freshmen with zero college level experience who will play like freshmen and make freshmen mistakes while they're learning Geno's system and their new teammates, along with getting their WCBB sea legs. There is no substitute for experience. Other than Dorka Juhasz (came in as a graduate transfer), Aubrey Griffin will be the only senior on the roster next season. Since she missed all of last year, she comes in with only 2 years of experience. The same as juniors Nika, Aaliyah and Paige. Griffin's recovery time was estimated to be 4 months (mid May). She's expected to be br completely healed, rehabilitated, cleared and ready to go when official practice begins the second week in October. RIGHT NOW including the incoming freshmen, UConn has 10 roster players. Is that enough? :rolleyes: Remember at one point this past season, UConn was down to 7 rotation players. They began the season with 14 players on roster. Saylor Poffenbarger (Arkansas) and Mir McLean (UVA) transferred out at the Christmas break. Aubrey Griffin had season ending back surgery on Jan 10, 2022. [I]“It just didn’t feel right the entire game,” [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/geno-auriemma/']coach Geno Auriemma[/URL] said Saturday. “I say this to anybody who will listen: Yeah, guards control the game and, yes, it’s about your guards and, yes, [South Carolina guard] Destanni Henderson was probably the best player on the floor the other night. But at the same time, [B]I’ve never[/B] gone to the national championship game and not had one or two big guys who could dominate the game at either end, offensively or defensively. And a lot of times we’ve gone there and they dominated both ends.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
