Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5301587, member: 7511"] UConn players have always been valued by WNBA coaches and GM’s because they are considered, “Pro-ready.” There is a lot that goes into that simple assessment. When you think back to UConn’s impressive run to a 12th national championship this year, it wasn’t so much that the Huskies had vastly superior talent than their opponents. It had more to do with the fact that UConn just played much better basketball than everyone else. WBB coaches have been trying to pick the lock on UConn’s success for years. It shouldn’t be a great mystery. UConn recruits smart, team oriented players, and they keep them. The coaches and staff work intensely to develop those players to the fullest extent possible individually and as a team. There are no short cuts. Kaitlyn was a pretty good basketball player when she arrived in Storrs for her 5th year. By the time she left, Kaitlyn was just one more “pro-ready” player turned out by UConn WBB. [/QUOTE]
