Fuller Talks CD's U-19 Role

[RockyMTblue2]

"The pursuit of another gold medal while representing her country is enough to get Crystal Dangerfield fired up for the upcoming FIBA U19 World Cup. However, the event which begins Saturday in Italy, also provides the rising sophomore a bit of a dress rehearsal of some of the things she may be asked to do in her second season at UConn."

Quotes from CD too.

“I think the team that we have here this year, I feel like we can really run teams,” Dangerfield said. “We can have a whole five to come in (off the bench) if necessary so I think working hard during these summer sessions is helpful. Sometimes we don’t like it but we need it.

“I think that what we have been trying to do in pickup, get a rebound, get an outlet and go, try to score as quick as possible, as few passes as possible.”

Advice from Moriah: “You know Geno (Auriemma), you know (assistant coach) Shea (Ralph) is going to have you in the gym every day so just look at the things you didn’t do well in the previous season, whatever it is she knows she has to do, get better at that and make the jump,” Jefferson said.

I love Danger's comment that, "There's been a big change in the weight room." When Danger arrived as a freshman, she was already pretty strong. If she's added more muscle to that frame, she's going to be much tougher for opponents to handle.

We have had pretty endless "hot stove" speculation about what the team will do this fall. CD offers up some information/opinion about same and there is zero reaction to it. Fascinating.

One of the most important things CD said was about working hard during the Summer sessions. "Sometimes we don't like it but WE NEED IT." I see she has adjusted to the Uconn way.

It's still early in the day. Wait until we get off of work.

With that said, Dangerfield said that basically have another 5 ready to come off of the bench. To me this means that Batouly, CD and at least a couple of the freshman can compete at a high level.

This is one super deep team.

Mikayla Coombs will run the opposition into the ground.

Crystal has Mo in her ear and Geno pushing and encouraging her. I look for a very strong season from her.

It's a chance my wish could come true....I first said 5 in 5 off, then I said 5 in 4 off. If anyone could make this work Geno can. Teams are going to really be confused and I can't wait.
Doug Bruno,
Thanks for the blueprint.....now watch Geno and UConn to see how it should work.
