Where do you rank Stewie, Morgan, and Kaleena in comparison to other great UConn frontcourts?

Other frontcourts you might consider:
Of course, waiting until the end of the season to make this sort of judgement is a perfectly reasonable answer :)

Let's be honest - if they (Stewie, Morgan and Kaleena) win a 3rd NC, then IMHO you would have to consider them the greatest. Only Diana has won 3 NC's and in 2 of them, she was surrounded by the TASS team you mentioned.

Is my mind going, or did Diana have only 1 championship with that trio (2002)?

Not that it matters to the question at hand...

Just one with that trio. The other season she played with them was '01. Let's not talk about how that season ended.

Nah. 'Cuz Morgan was not there for lots of it, Stef was, and Kaleena was mostly hanging outside looking for a pass for an uncontested 3 (per Geno yesterday), and being old school I don't think that qualifies as front court. 2002 is still the best and will be after we (salt over shoulder) win the NC for a 3rd time in a row for the second time?? I lose track.;)

Next year could be their best, but only for one year. Hopefully Breanna, Morgan and Natalie can put it all together. It helps that Natalie can practice with the team.

Next year they will also have KLS, Collier, Boykin and Ekmark coming off the bench for frontcourt help. That's if Butler starts. If Stewart,Tuck and KLS start then you could have a complete substitution, a la Kentucky's mens team, with a combination of Ekmark, Collier, Boykin, Butler.
Obviously, I left someone out. I see Williams in the backcourt next year. We have plenty of frontcourt players but are a bit short in the backcourt. Williams would provide the best defense against the opposing teams guards of all the choices that UConn has, imo.

Do you mean as a starter because Jessica Moore, Ashley Battle, and Maria Conlon played on all three of those championship teams?

To answer the OP's question, the current trio must be given substantial consideration. To think that any trio can be compared to a trio consisting of Maya Moore and Tina Charles, both of whom were national players of the year, is a credit unto itself.
Let us also remember that Tina and Maya have gone on to become WNBA MVPs.

The Swin Ashja Tamika did not spend a whole lot of court time together as it was often two plus ___.
Moore, Charles and anyone was pretty formidable! Two NPOY in the same year!
Stef, Maya, and Kelly wasn't to shabby and Stef, Breanna, KML last year was pretty good as well minus all of KML's problems.

But Rebecca, Kara, Jamelle may be the best.

I liked the front court of Stef, Stewie, and Kiah last year. They were really tough to score on. Kaleena was in the backcourt with Mo or Bria.

I think any front court with Tina Charles and Maya Moore has to be at the top. Those are TWO NPOY players who became WNBA MVPs.
