Yeah, I‘m not sure if you remember or not, but Geno was touting Ice Brady as highly skilled, a difference maker etc. How did that turn out? The point is, just because Staley is waxing rhapsodic about Tac, does
not mean (with any certainty) that she (Tac) is going to actually be all those things on the court. I’m sure Tac is a nice piece but I’ve seen nothing beyond Dawn’s likely hyperbolic praise to indicate she is some kind of world beater. She could just as easily have the feet of a coal miner and the hands of a ballerina.
Coaches often talk up their recruits and in so doing, write checks that the recruit is then unable to cover. The question is, would you rather have Jana or Adhel? There’s no doubt in
my mind what the answer to that question should be but there’s certainly no objective reason to assume that Tac is superior to Jana! I’m just not sure why you would think that. I am confident that Jana will be the better player between those two. But even if she’s not the star I believe her to be, there‘s certainly no evidence now that indicates that we are going to be at a disadvantage in that match up!
