Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2713144, member: 5798"] Agreed. I'll certainly look for more out of Gabby next year. This year will be about learning how to play at this new level, getting her "sea-legs", and coming to the realization that she can play at this level. For some, it does not take an entire season to come to this revelation. Hopefully Gabby is one of those "some". I'm just as interested in watching Gabby, Kia and Azura matriculate into the W, as I am about the UConn women's fortunes this coming season. I'm not counting on any last minute, out of the blue graduate transfer(s) to come riding through the doors on a white house to help the team through this period of uncertainty and adjustment. As Geno told the team, [I]“You look at your team and you go, ‘Guys, this is all we can count on, right here, what we have in this room. If the guys coming in turn out to be amazing, that just adds to this. If they turn out to be less than amazing, then this is what we have." [/I] This season might be like a cook trying to make rabbit stew without the rabbit. We know Geno and staff will put a competitive team on the floor come November. We're too far out at this time (in early May) to have any idea what that team will look like, or to find out (through media interviews with Geno, and reports from writers attending official October practices) who has made the sophomore or junior leap. One thing is for sure, at least 4 players MUST step up and "get it" in order for this team to play the style of competitive UConn basketball fans are use to seeing. Now, the question is who are those four players? [/QUOTE]
