Good News from Jim Fuller

No, CD and MoJeff shared extensive minutes at PG. Bria played minutes at both the 2 and filled in some at the 1. Other than the ND games Doty and MoJeff combined for over 30-35 minutes per game at PG at both the Big East and NCAAs. Check the box scores.

Geno doesn't have to start a pure point guard, against the toughest team Notre Dame basically 6 people played Bria - 37, Breanna - 35, Kelly - 30, KML - 29, Stef - 29, Morgan - 25. Those 5 minus Kelly are who I feel will start, Moriah has to get better offensively, or teams are going to back off her, and double others. In the Final Four combined minutes of CD, and Moriah were 40.

Exactly. Against ND in the last three meetings Bria played more minutes, many at the point. It was about match-ups positively and negatively.

One thing we have for the next couple of years is kids who can play the point. I would think that MoJeff will be developed even more this season .

To me, at this point, MoJeff is the only "true" point guard.

She was a freshman last year and I thought she played spectacular in the regionals against Maryland and Kentucky.

True, its about match-ups. However I think if MoJeff does well in practice the job is hers. Besides (to me) she is a better passer. Her drive and dish was great last season and she is only gonna get better.

Love Banks and glad is she is getting back to healthy. I too, dont think of her as a PG. If MoJeff can play steady at the point and let Hartley truly be a 2 guard, watch out.

So as I said before, who do you think will be the starting 5?

Starting 5: Dolson, Stewart, KML, Hartley, Chong.

Starting 5: Dolson, Stewart, KML, Hartley, Chong.

ZERO CHANCE that Chong starts this year. Even with the limited roster numbers I would be surprised if she averaged more than 12 minutes this year. As good as Chong was in H.S. it was just that H.S. and the jump from H.S. to an average Div. 1 college is enormous and the jump from an average Div. 1 school to a program like UConn is immeasurable.

I guess I should have said who is your starting 5 at the beginning and early season stage. So you think Chong will learn the ropes quickly and jump ahead of Mo?

I would be shocked if, barring injury, Chong starts ahead of MoJeff at any point this season. Maybe she'll surprise me tho!

Are u kidding me- u think she is going to become a starter on this team? Anything u r basing that on?

I wouldn't say ZERO (0) CHANCE. If Jefferson, Banks, and Tuck were hurt/injured (in the doghouse), maybe Stokes too, then I could see Chong starting.

Nothing against Chong. It's just she's a freshman and there are a lot of very (very) good players senior to her. She would have to be up in the DT, Moore, Stewart level to start without some injuries happening.
