Stewart still would have been great wherever she played absolutely but would she have won any championships?We will never know.

Depends where she went. I think her final 4 were UCONN, Duke, Penn State and Syracuse. I don't know if she would have gotten Duke over the NC hump, but certainly she wouldn't have won anything at Penn State or Syracuse...

Would've been interesting to see how landing Stewie would've affected those schools' recruiting. Penn State was generally a top 15ish school at the time and Syracuse was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was impossible they might've added more premium talent as a result and been pretty dangerous.

Good points. Impossible to know for sure. But going back and looking at the #1 players in each class recently - Stanford had 2 Ogwumike's on their roster and could never get over the hump. Deleware landed Delle Donne and added absolutely nobody during her 4 years there. Baylor added Griner, but needed Sims to even win one NC there. Dule landed Williams, and we all know how that worked out LOL. But you make good points - surely PSU or Syracuse would have seen a bump in recruiting of Stewie had gone there...

I think at Duke with a line up of a healthy Gray, Peters, Williams, Jones not even JPM could have prevented her from winning at least 1 NC. With multiple NC a strong possibility.

going elsewhere, would Stewie have the drive that she has at UConn... dont underestimate what the coaches do for these players confidence, drive and desire.

I think she already had it
 
Stewie, in what has become a familiar refrain, did not say she came to UConn; she said she came to UConn to be coached by Geno. Must have thought he had something to offer.
 
Stewie was never going anywhere but UConn. It was all UConn and no other school.

Uconns Potential!Since 2000 9 NC so that makes it 7 for the rest of WCBB and Connecticuts most talented team didn't win one"2001!"5 consecutive FF from 2000-2004 and now 8 consecutive FF from 2008 2015 with again 9 NC!Any other team in WCBB measure up to "the potential" the huskies bring every year?I don't think so!

Hard to read with your lack of punctuation and spacing, but it looks like UCONN "realized" their potential.

HEY! If you continue to hassle Boneyarders about their grammatical shortcomings and I guarantee that a hard rains a-gonna fall on you! :rolleyes:

And, BTW, trade the their you mistakenly used and replace it with her. ;)

Why her and not it's? Just wondering...

With your quote you "realized"you lack any potential to talk about the Huskies in any way because the potential I measured between you and I compares with you being the rest of WCBB and I the Connecticut Huskies!!!

Tony I had a tangential connection to Stewie's AAU PB team and was told that ND, UVA and Duke made strong pitches and got consideration. How strong/serious? I did not pry.

The best Stewie recruitment story was when Stewie came for the Duke game. UConn was doing its usual thing against Duke, and Geno turned to her and said something along the lines of "you still considered them [Duke]? You should go over there it looks like they could use you." Sure Stewie like every kid considered other schools, but I think it was more like kicking the tires rather than serious interest. I believe there's an interview out there with Stewie saying she always wanted to play at UConn so she didn't have the pressure down to the wire of picking a school that many recruits face.

Wow, I don't think you want to argue your adeptness at punctuation and clarity with that paragraph.
 
Kibitzer said:
Quit when you're behind. ;) The it's you suggested is a contraction for it is. Completely errant. Please let it go.

But doesn't the potential belong to UConn hence the possession apostrophe? Idk just sounds better to me than HER. My English never was very gud :p

Forget that notion about that apostrophe making a possessive out of its. which is a possessive. That apostrophe serves to make a contraction of it is.

No, more important, I confess to having the best of intentions (i.e., discouraging a new poster from nailing other BY posters about usage in a grammatically flawed post). So I stupidly and inexplicably seized on poster's "there" as errant. I offer my sincere apologies to all.

vtcwbuff got it right.

Now you know why I ceased doing "ahems."

we'll never know... but we see how a lot of other "recruits" fizzed when they chose other schools.

I understand "UConn isnt for everyone"

Simply as stated that: "Stewart would still have been terrific had she gone elsewhere."
Let's not turn this into a UCONN vs ND or Geno vs Muffett thing or a how dare you on a UCONN fan board kind of vibe.

Have you ever read McGraw's Bench on ND Nation? They say the same thing that we say here. Oh come to ND Muffet will
coach her to blah, blah, blah. I have NEVER seen a UConn fan post on that board.
I guess their fans get bored with that forum as it has so little posts that seems so provincial.
I don't care where the recruits go, if they don't go to UConn. I agree that MOST #1 or top players are really good when they get to college, where their game gets refined by some coaches, or not.

Q:Have you ever read McGraw's Bench on ND Nation?
A:No I have not.
I am having trouble following the remaining points in your post.

My, my. This is harsh criticism. I see that "rains" should have an apostrophe, but far be it from me to point that out to a brother in blue. The world is beset with apostrophes; we can do with one less. I've already removed one from Aja.
