All you know is that they are playing MORE.  You don't know that they are playing any BETTER.  I'm about 90% sure that if they had all come to UConn, they would be sitting at the end of Geno's bench, and he would be making the same or worse comments about them as he has made about the freshmen that he actually has.  And likewise, if Walker and Coombs were on the roster at A&M, Tennessee, or South Carolina, they would be getting a lot of minutes and maybe putting up some modest stats (and making tons of mistakes, most of which would not be corrected -- and they would keep playing while they continued to make those mistakes again and again.)

But I doubt that they would be learning to play basketball in a team system, including passing and defense, to the extent that Walker and Coombs are learning now as we speak.  I will predict that if all the players in question stay healthy and stay at their current schools until they graduate, Walker and maybe Coombs will go higher in the WNBA draft than any of the players that you just referenced.
