Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3979696, member: 730"] I wasn't the one who made the original comment. I had no POV to defend and yet you answered my question with another question. And you right about the minutes thing. I think our discussion started when you commented that unless she was terrible Williams would start. I disagree. She can play like she did most of last season, which was far from terrible, and still lose her starting position. But if she plays like she did at the end of the season she will be an AA. The competition this summer/fall is going to be intense. I looked back over the last few years what it shows is that Geno had 5 regular starters since 2017 and the 5th starter fill-ins were consistent. In the last 2 seasons his loyalty has been to 4 starters and the 5th has varied throughout the season, in part due to injuries. Does Geno start Muhl, who lost her starting slot to injury but who started the most games, or Edwards, who was playing like an AA by late last season? Or all-everything Fudd? I don't see any of the freshmen getting many minutes with the exception of Fudd, who I believe Geno said was more fundamentally prepared coming in in all phases of the game than Maya Moore was in 2007. He said that Moore was his best freshman as far as "getting it" from day one. If that is even close to correct then the team and the coaches will know it by July, just like last season and the arrival of Bueckers. I really don't know or really care if she starts or not. I'm nearly as certain about her as I was about Bueckers and she will be a major player by January. By the end of 2023 they will be saying that UConn has the best backcourt in women's basketball anywhere in the world. How's that for over-exuberance? :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
