Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2000914, member: 3535"] You're missing the entire point. There already are two other thread that address the recruits. One is on the top of the page and the other is the one titled something like "u17/18 recruiting target observations." So you aren't "just talking about our future lineup" -- you are putting out there that there is a "concern" when you say [B]"Are we again going to be thin in rebounding?"[/B] -- Two years from now when you have NO IDEA what that lineup will entail. You've readily dismissed AZ from contention when you've had no idea whether she will stay or not. You're dismissing Lou as an improved rebounder as if she won't improve. You're not taking into account that maybe a player like Walker could be an enormous help on the glass. Can't CCollier play 5-8 minutes at center if need be and then have Lou backup Collier? Anyhow-- suppose this early in the game you are fan in the belief that Geno will pick up another big OR Az will stay? [B]In other words, why did you ask the question "are we going to be thin again" if you were to have confidence that Geno will probably get another big body? [/B]You created its own thread despite the other threads that actively speak of recruiting and needs. One of the threads speaks specifically of "recruiting targets." In addition, suppose you looked at stats for example the Baylor game or the Texas game or the MD game and we still won. So what is the big deal about worrying about rebounding two years from now? The reason I bring this up is that many fans overrate size - for example many fans continued to struggle with UCONN not getting the ball inside enough to Nat. Or I can remember during the summer a poster who didn't come on here often but was criticizing Geno for not playing Nat more clearly indicating that Geno blew it. Basically to add on bold- I'm always a bit surprised why so many UCONN fans have such fear of size and fear of their team. For example last couple of years there was genuine fear from some about USF. Why? Why are you so concerned about rebounding two years from now when you see we've been able to do darn good even while getting beat pretty good? Sure this year we can lose by it. But for 2 years from now, don't you have confidence in Geno that he'll get another big body? That's what the other two threads speak of in terms of recruits. Who we're after. Final point- every team in America is questionable in some manner if you look at two years from now. For example, in the summer Danger had surgery. This year not even half done she is hurt. She has a small body. May not be durable. SO is that another "concern?" I emn Coombs is considered a combo guard more than a pg by some, isn't she? WHo is the pg if Danger doesn't produce? What about 3pt shooting? Geno has said in the past he likes to have three shooters that can spread out and shoot against a zone. Suppose AEH's derfense isn't "ready?" Then all we have is two shooters. DO you see hwo easy it is to look out over two [/QUOTE]
