Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 3821701, member: 5823"] That is exactly the point. I was very effusive in my praise of Nika based on those tapes. In addition to overlooking her "perceived" short coming as a shooter I also projected her to be a very useful to UCONN on perimeter defense. The Nika in those videos is not performing like the Nika currently in a UCONN uniform. I listed a list of reason why that might be; "[I]the level of competition, the ability to finish and the physique"[/I]. To clarify the level of competition is the difference between where she was in Croatia and DI competition she is facing now. It happens to many high school players not just Nika. I was not expecting her to come in and perform as Paige has nor was I expecting Piage to perform as well as she has. BTW Coombs was not lacking offensively she was McDonalds AA and averaged over 25 Points per game in HS and had a reliable (although somewhat quirky) jump shot. [/QUOTE]
