Stewart played form 2012-2016.

I keep reading how El Alfy was going to be a rotation player. She looked good in a FIBA Euro tournament for pre-college age players. The competition may not have even been as good as UConn faced in their Euro exhibitions. How can anyone think that she was going to fit right into the rotation?

UConn has size. Brady at 6'3 is more of a 5 than either El Alfy (6'5) or DeBerry(6'6). Inches is not the same as size.

Someone also stated that UConn needs an inside monster scorer.  Edwards has been around a 60% shooter for three years.

Another poster said that Geno needs to recruit some 6'5 players.  First, being 6'5+ and having the skills and talent to play at UConn makes for a very short list. Geno got 6'5 Butler to transfer from GTwn and while she was good enough to lead the country in rebounding her hands weren't good enough (or strong enough) to successfully play UConn's style.

I think Brady and Patterson will quiet most of the "not big enough" posters.
