Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4727246, member: 5798"] No problem with wanting to see more from KK against D1 competition BEFORE assessing her potential. That's fair. I vividly remember seeing Paige's first game during her freshman year. I was convinced after watching her that she was (as reported by others) [B]the real deal. [/B]Geno and his staff have seen KK in person and on videotape. They would not have offered her if they didn't believe she could flourish in this program, and help them win games.[B] The talent is there! [/B]I'm convinced of that. I looked at her play and compared it to the experienced returning veterans that played in the first two games. IMO, she represented herself well. Of course, like everyone else, I want to see what she looks like in those first 4 games against Dayton, NC St. Maryland, and Minnesota. I'm not in the camp that thinks she should start now. That'll come next year after Nika graduates. I have Nika as one of my starting 5. Nothing will change my opinion on that. KK will get plenty of minutes this year. I'm reminded of what Geno tells his players every year at the beginning of the season.........[I]" give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench." [/I][B]KK is a baller and will get her minutes.[/B] ;) That's a branch I'm boldly stepping out on without fear or trepidation. [/QUOTE]
