At this point, Ice's biggest weakness (growth opportunity) is simply to minimize her fouls.  Just about every big at UConn has had to deal with this, from Kara W to Tina to Stef to Napheesa to Liv to Aaliyah.  All of them got better at it with practice and discipline, and I'm sure that Ice will do the same.

If she doesn't improve the rest of her game at all, but simply manages to stay on the floor as she did in the Big East tournament, she will earn about 15-20 minutes of playing time per game in 2024-25.

Bear in mind that since Jana and Sarah are not experienced at the college level, it is totally predictable that fouls will be an issue for both of them.  We know that Ayanna had a big fouling problem in her freshman year.  So all four of them will probably hear the whistle a lot in the coming season.  Ice will actually have more experience with collegiate officiating, and hopefully more skill in dealing with it, than any of UConn's other bigs.
