Well said!!!! From the little bit of video I've seen, I might like the idea of Ogunbuwale being the guard we get because she looks like a tough, very rugged and very talented player. I have seen very little of Durr but as you've said one of each pairing, whoever that would be would be pretty darn good.
Tony may be talking about Jaelyn Brown, not Kalani Brown.
If players end up leaving, they end up leaving. Sad, but that's the way this stuff works. It's happened before and it will happen again. If UCONN gets a chance to get Durr, they take her in a heartbeat and without a sliver of regret.
I don't want to see anyone leave, but I understand how it works. All of our kids are talented enough to start at some point in their career. But our numbers are getting larger, and PT could be an issue. As usual, kids who get it and practice well will be rewarded. Of course, injuries and/or a redshirt can change those numbers quickly.
Would that bring the fans to their feet??
I have to agree emphatically with regard to Sluconn. I'm amazed at how much very useful information he has provided and I'm totally in line with just about every comment he has to make. A really big asset to the Boneyard, indeed!
And CD said, in an ideal world, they would have classes of 4, 3, 4, and 3, which sums to 14. It will be interesting. We've had rosters that have been too small, at least in terms of effectiveness, since Maya's senior year. At least there was no margin for error in terms of fouls or injuries. We effectively had 6 this past year and were fortunate.
Speculation on ESPN board was that headline was just another inflammatory and baseless headline intended to distress non-member UCONN fans
It doesn't really matter how many top tier players Geno has as long as he can put 5 on the floor at once as proven by the past season. With 5 top tier players on the court it doesn't matter what the other team has, he always wins. So more than 5 top tier players is just a hedge against injury.
I don't think she's even taken an unofficial visit yet, has she? I thought she was recently asked about UConn, and she said she had planned to take an official visit in the fall. Perhaps first night? Though we saw how well that worked out with Wilson. Do the kids that ultimately end up at UConn generally decide fairly early/quickly? Geno has said this before, that usually the kids that work out really want to be there, and know it pretty early on in the recruiting process, and that he'll never understand why some drag the decision making process out as the schools and programs aren't going to change (I disagree with his last point because of potential coaching changes between commitment and arrival on campus, but based on his long tenure I can understand that). Sounds about right given how quickly the 3 from the class of '15 verballed after their official visit.
Against injury, foul trouble, and fatigue.
doubt it... they'll miss it cause they were reading the Wall Street journal, doing some knitting or looking for that half of sandwich in their bagOne thing I know ...I would like to see both Stewie and Gabby ...Both dunk in the same game!!!
Well they don't "have" to leave. Nobody is going to force them. But some may choose to leave. Nature of the business. That's not a reason NOT to have Durr come.
