Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 1999253, member: 6761"] Trying to redirect a little here.... so, we really don't know Z's intentions. Probably she wasn't sure of them herself when she made the momentous decision to transfer and therefore sit out a year. May not even know them now, after adjusting to life at UConn and wondering how well she'll play next year. May not even know them until April next year (Morgan was torn in her decision until just before the draft, when she announced she was going pro). And we don't know Geno's thoughts when he accepted Z's transfer. But surely he [I]hoped[/I] it'd be for 2 years, since one-and-done is somewhat disruptive to the team. OTOH, he might have thought that even one year of Z would solve some of his immediate problems while he recruited Charli and other bigs. Also otherwise she likely goes to South Carolina and how good would they have been then? But after Z committed, Batouly also wanted to transfer, giving UConn some good rebounding strength for 3 years (assuming she wants to stay all 3). And THEN, Megan declared for UConn; not height but more supreme talent And THEN the current team showed up hugely, hugely better than he anticipated and played bigger than anyone thought it could. None of this gives clarity about Geno's hopes for Z's staying 2 years or being more stoic if she stays only 1. Just to say that WCBB, with all the transfers, has become quite fluid, with so many contingencies. The last thing we [B][I]do [/I][/B]know is about 6 weeks ago when Geno predicted that Z would be POY if she stayed 2 years. That's clearly still his hope. Everything else is not only speculation, but mere guesses, because Z's own feelings are going to evolve over the course of next year. [/QUOTE]
