I'm luvin' the Morgan report, because if she is put together, ready and durable, then this is going to be another special year for UCWBB. She has yet to show us her A game and I can't wait. How about you?

Geno looks rested. Tanned. His adjectives were in game-day shape. He looks ready #UConnwomen

Everyone thanks for this really appreciate it

Everything I hear about Natalie is so right. As are the reports about Morgan!

 

[Kibitzer]

I persist in my belief that if Morgan Tuck is fit and brings her formidable A game, she starts. And her A game is comparable to Alyssa Thomas of Maryland last year. She is big and she can shoot, defend, and rebound. And motivated!

I know many thoughtful BY posters envision one of the talented freshmen starting (at guard) and Morgan coming off the bench but I believe they are mistaken.

In a month or two, Geno will let us know who the starters are. Should be interesting.

I'm hoping she doesn't start. If she does then either Stokes isn't up to snuff or there is no 2 guard good enough to start.

Remember the thin bench days? This is quite a different ball game. So interesting. I can't wait!

Really? Who's the backup center? Who spells Stewie? We're only bench deep at the guard position.

I seem to recall an overtime game with Notre Dame a coupla seasons ago when freshman Morgan Tuck almost won the game singlehandedly…on her bum knee.

That was her A+ game

Seriously, if she's well she'll be a monster, one of the greatest kids around.
