KK or Kayleigh, who's your guess?

Jana had and has a huge upside. She started most of last season. I don’t think she’s going to give up her starting spot without a battle.

I’m an a fan of Jana. I saw great potential in her before she got to Storrs. But that injury really set her back a lot. I’m sure she will battle for her spot. But it’s hard to imagine a trajectory on which she wins a starting spot from Serah this season. She will be in the front court rotation for sure.

There’s another option that Geno will undoubtedly consider. That would be a dominant front court with Jana, Serah, Sarah, Azzi & KK. Think back to the dominance of Kara & Rebecca or Stewie & Steph as examples when UConn road a set of “twin towers” to national championships.

I just don’t see that as more than a midgame substitution lineup, not the regular starting lineup. It would just be giving up too much quickness, which looks to be this team’s superpower.

While not in the discussion for starter, don't be surprised if Morgan gets more PT than we might expect. Geno loves what she brings to the court. She is a disrupter and facilitator, both sides of Geno's spectrum. If she has confidence in her shot, she will get minutes.

While Serah is indeed a defensive big, she’s also an offensive one as well. I think it’s very possible that she will be among the top tier of UConn bigs when she finishes this season. Not the best, but up there close to the best. Of course, she will only have one season but I’m pretty sure she’s going to make the most of it!

I think you’re right about this, and by the end of next season we’ll be sorry that she was at UConn for only one season. But you’ve got me thinking who were the UConn bigs Serah might we’d up being compared to. Here’s a ‘partial’ list:

• Rebecca and Kara of course,
• Tina
• Jess Sheperd, Azura. Kylie McLaren.
• Mama Stef.
• Stewie of course, who was probably the GOAT among the bigs.
• Liv, Aaliyah, Dorka.

And she could also be compared to the smaller players who roamed the paint over the years in hybrid roles, like Phee and Gabby and, of course, Sarah who could end up being remembered as another GOAT.

I wonder if Jess might be the player Serah’s game is most similar to.

I may be wrong but Didn't Jess play at ND?

I think your subconscious is hiding what your mind is looking for.

It is able to do that because there is no direct UConn player analog to Serah, Blanca (maybe there is according to an eyewitness observer in Italy) and especially Sarah.

But there is a collective (senior version) trio, with whom the current trio can probably collectively favorably compare to.

The thought occurred to me before, but for mojo reasons…
