I'm not in favor of this approach or that mind set. My approach would be to bring in the most talented guard available without compromising the standards of the program. If there is no guard available that going to be able to play at UCONN level then go without one. I'm 98.75% certain this is what Geno will not do. That 1.5 % uncertainty is mainly about Geno bringing in Autumn Chaisson and Piath Gabriel in the same class.I think that is a pretty realistic assessment. No savior, and her prospects for playing time beyond this year would be bleak. In a way she might be like a one year rental or insurance policy. That is very hard to recruit for. Imagine trying to recruit a player for that role on very short notice, being honest with her that she might not have a very big role this year, and may want to transfer after this year, and by the way you only have a few days to decide. Having said that I think Geno could recruit an insurance policy and be honest with the expected role this year and in the future.
Worrying about playing time next year is counter productive considering we don't know how well Paige is going to heal or even if she will return. We also don't know how the incoming freshman guards are going to perform. Then there is the possibility of an outbound guard ....(this is a subject we are not allowed to speculate about).
