Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2560245, member: 5798"] I wonder what were they looking at? Aren't coaches are suppose to see "untapped" potential in players. They couldn't see what Natalie could be/could do in another program a little less demanding? Natalie left the UConn program, but she took with her everything she learned there, and is putting it to good use. She also brought with her something no one else in that program has, a national championship, along with the training and understanding of Geno's basketball principles it took to get it. She learned how to train and prepare to play UConn basketball. The coaches and players at George Mason all respect that. She's been to 2 final fours as a player. That (and the fact that she is probably the oldest player) is one of the reasons she is a team leader. She has [B]UConn pedigree[/B] none of the other players/coaches have. That is a valuable and respected thing in the world of WCBB.
