Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3863257, member: 26"] This is great stuff. Thanks for posting it [USER=7874]@SVCBeercats[/USER] . Often it's a thankless job when you post a bunch of statistics, and the BY detectives point out where you went wrong. Kudos to UCONN fans for being so knowledgeable, but like I said, sometimes a thankless job... So... Thank you!! The thing that stood out to me is that not only is Geno NOT opposed to playing freshmen TONS of minutes, he's not opposed to starting them. IIRC, it's very rare for an uber freshman to come in and REPLACE a kid coming back who was a starter the previous season, but injuries do happen. Dee didn't start till midway thru her freshman year until an injury opened the door for her. But for players like Strother, Hartley and Dolson, due to transfers or just not that much talent on the roster, all of them started most every game their freshman years. Even Maya only started 30/38 games... KML on the other hand, only started 1 game her freshman year, but IIRC was one of the leading scorers on the team averaging about 15 PPG. Due to her lackluster pro career, people often forget just how great she was in college. [/QUOTE]
