Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 4813142, member: 1220"] Stevens was misrable at UConn for the same reasons she transferred out of Duke. She represents a new breed of player. Stevens leaving UConn hurt the recruiting for other centers. I posted that right after she decided not to retun. Geno needed her to finish her final year. Stevens never wanted to play in the post which is what Geno was intending on teaching her in her final year. Players now days have already put so much effort into basketball before they even reach college, that unless they are BB fanatics they sort of want a bit of a break. Ask yourselves, when was the last impactful center that came out of the program to the WNBA. Stewie was not a center. One of the past draws for UConn was the success that its grads had in the profesional ranks. The success rate has been recently limited to guards and Stewie and that was still some time ago. Post players will generally choose other schools and coaches. [/QUOTE]
