Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5108175, member: 73"] Well this season we appear to be more healthy then the past seasons and we must make sure we continue to stay healthy and to get healthier as the season progresses. That means manage playing time and this season we have a roster that will allow us to do that. Those coming back from injury will have their minutes managed which will allow for our underclassmen to play and develop. We have alot of experience at the guard positions which will allow us to execute and help develop our underclassmen. Paige Kaitlyn and KK will get everybody else involved. Paige is at a level that I believe no one else in WCBB is. If she plays like she did her freshman year this is going to be a season of seasons for UConn. I believe Paige will play at a better level then she did her freshman season and with the players surrounding her she will be the catalyst that makes everybody on this team better. I believe we have a team that is almost unbeatable and that is for a couple of reasons. Number 1 is Paige who can take over a game, Number 2 is our defense, Number 3 is our depth. This is all true if we stay healthy. We will get a better idea of where we are after the North Carolina game. Another checkpoint/ measuring stick will be after the USC game late December. This is a team that has alot of potential to be one of the greatest UConn teams of all time. Staying healthy and our development will take time to get to where we want to be. I can confidently say if both those things happen sooner then later then the only games on the schedule that is a concern is USC in December and in the second half of the season is @ South Carolina. I hear Genos remarks regarding Sara and Jana. I can only anticipate what the two of them are capable to do on the floor together. I am also counting on Kaitlyn and Paige holding things down until a healthy Azzi gets back . Dont kid yourself either Ashlyn is going to make her mark at even a higher level this season. Im thinking ICE and Jana will spend alot of time in the middle. The competition between the two will only make them better. Allie and Morgan will be developed, they are our future. Our injureds coming back will have their playtime managed. They are the reinforcements that will carry us as the season progresses. For now the beginning of the season will be 9 players seeing action. This is where we need our veterans to shine until our injured get back and our freshman are developed playing with confidence. This is going to be an exciting season. We are really really good with the best player in WCBB. Remember what we did last season and look how much better we are this season.
