Message: [QUOTE="OneTrickPony, post: 3401632, member: 2659"] Amen...this team is full of talent. A lot of it quite raw, however, and trying to drink from the UCONN firehose. We all knew that this year the team was going to have only a handful of people that had spent two years in the system, and only two with any meaningful playing time...Crystal and Meghan...and those two will be WNBA picks and have successful pro careers. We also have two players with a year and a half under their belts with as much potential as anyone in WCBB...Christyn and Olivia. They are both dedicated to their craft and each has shown signs of brilliance. The lights are turning on for these two with the system, and they can be expected to keep improving system-wise. Hopefully, with the benefit of a deep tourney run...the best experience. The big hope is always that the sophomores become a little more intuitive by the end of the year after two years in the trenches. We are lucky to have Kyla, a senior who has learned the system and has a good shot, that can keep the offense flowing. She's getting playing time, and needs it to bridge the experience gap. Molly is the same to a lesser extent. The rest of the players...the ones that can play...are still trying to understand the system. That makes them tentative...they still have to think about everything too much. When they start playing on intuition, they can make some spectacular athletic plays, but it isn't usually within the team concept. Expecting Anna and Aubrey to be primed by tourney time is unrealistic. I'd be happy to see Anna just get her shooting confidence back by then. I'm not sure where this team winds up...this is definitely the year of living dangerously. But I'm loving this team so much, that I really haven't worried very much about it. [/QUOTE]
