Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2405829, member: 5798"] That's one of the many reason Lou came to UConn. One of them was to "round out" her overall game. Let's face it, defense was not her strong suit in high school. Like KML, she was groomed to make 3's. The staff will raise her level of competency on the defensive end of the court. This is why she will be so attractive to WNBA general managers and coaches in April of 2019. Not to throw the slightest bit of shade or disrespect to any player coming into the draft from another program, but it is widely known that players coming into the draft from UConn are [I]highly coveted[/I] by coaches and GM's, because they are "game ready" the first day of practice. WNBA GM's/coach's outlook: [I]"If you played under Geno for 4 years, you can play up here"[/I]. Without checking, I'll bet right now, there are more active players in the W from UConn, than any other school. Look at Saniya Chong. She started one year for Geno, but it was enough to impress Dallas Wing's head coach Fred Williams. She graduated on time, and left with 3 championships. Even though she went in the 3rd round of the draft, she made the cut. She played with Dallas [U]the entire year[/U], and is currently doing [U]extremely well[/U] overseas. UConn "pedigree" is not to be discounted or ignored. [/QUOTE]
