Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 4937907, member: 7093"] Hey Tony..I want to take a brief break from the focus on the sweet sixteen, and ask your opinion on a player. I refer to Qadance Samuels. It is clear that she has not earned enough trust from Geno to rotate her in at this level of the NCAAs. Certainly , he will call upon her if the situation requires ( foul trouble, etc ). But, if all goes according to plan, we won't be seeing her on the court again until next season. I really like a lot about her; speed, athleticism, work ethic, jump shot , drives to the hoop, and hard work on defense ( really long arms, etc ). Geno has said that her ceiling is unlimited. And, in fairness, Geno gave her decent exposure in the BE tournament, and in game 1 of the NCAA tournament ( Which in itself, is decent for a freshman who arrived without " all world" credentials). Clearly, she needs work handling the ball, disguising her passing intentions, and eliminating "freshman-like" mistakes. Here is my question; do you believe she can become an "A" level contributor? Someone whose development forces Geno to put her in the line-up? Is she a diamond that will soon come to shine? A reliable and trustworthy starter? Can she become a great UCONN player ( seemingly out of nowhere ) or is she going to be an occasionally used substitute in games that don't really matter? I would be interested in your ( and everyone's) thoughts. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
