Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4640072, member: 5798"] I've read all of the comments in this thread. I've heard of her, but don't know any details about her other than what I've read here. Well...since the BIG (Lauren Betts) that some of the UConn faithful wanted is no longer in the portal, IF Geno is going to use that last scholarship on a portal player, while there are other players that could also come in and fill a role, It appears to me that Lauren Gustin fits the bill. I say go for it. Call me gun-shy, but after that fiasco of being down to 7 players during several games last year, I'd be OK with a full 15-player roster. I'm for making sure we don't visit THAT dynamic ever again. That was horrible. :confused: I would not be opposed to Lauren joining our team, especially if she wants to come. [B]She can help us win some games. [/B]THAT friends is the bottom line. [MEDIA=youtube]F7gi7tNxUMQ[/MEDIA] If she comes here knowing upfront exactly what her role would be and is willing to accept it, I'd gladly welcome her with open arms. :) She's a proven veteran that you know will be ready and show up to play every game, and produce while she's on the floor. She's got lots of tape. If in doubt, just look at a few games. Her numbers speak for themselves. As NFL Hall of Fame retired head football coach [B]Bill Parcells[/B] once said......"You are what your record says you are." In her case, she is what her stats say she is. We need all the help we can get. Right now, we don't know for sure if any of our incoming freshmen will be ready to SIGNIFICANTLY play and consistently produce night in and night out. THAT remains to be seen. So....in the meantime, why not hedge our bet and bring a player like Lauren on board. She won't hurt us, she can only help. :cool: [/QUOTE]
