Message: [QUOTE="BobbyJ, post: 4478503, member: 4250"] I agree with all of your points with the possible exception of your last sentence. It’s certainly possible your hypothesis could account for some of the bigs coming out of HS but I tend to think that for most of the 6-3+ kids it’s the lack of coaching from a very young age. It takes a lot of time and expertise to teach a tall, sometimes bulky middle schooler who’s trying to control her coordination the passing, ball handling, shooting, and footwork skills necessary to function in an offense like UConn runs. There aren’t a lot of those knowledgeable coaches out there or big kids capable of learning that stuff. Brady was very fortunate to have someone early who could teach her. Sarah Strong, a bulky, 6-2 dancing bear is another. Same size as Aneesah Morrow of DePaul. For me, a rotation of 3 big, mobile, skilled 4s is my preference. [/QUOTE]
