Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4303030, member: 11664"] While no 2 players are the same, what I think that Lou can bring to UConn is a more experienced version of the scoring talent that was lost when Saylor unexpectedly transferred. Saylor was a highly touted #30 ranked high school player who didn't stay at UConn long enough to develop her Division 1 talent. She was part of the 12 member 2019 USA U16 team that included Amari DeBerry. Meanwhile, Lou intensely developed her game at Fairfield over 4 years, averaging at least 30 minutes of PT each year and steadily increasing her point production from 11.8 ppg as a freshman to 19.6 ppg as a senior. While they both have some similar physical characteristics, they each have an entirely different world of game experience and the associated mature basketball IQ. Lou seems to have dedicated herself to improving her game and knows what she wants to achieve from it by transferring to UConn. In that respect, UConn has gained a player who grew with their experience that can help to replace another that transferred and created a need. It's a win-win for both Lou & UConn, and it shows how much that WCBB is a game of constant replacement. Some players are more temporary than others, but Lou will have her own special gifts to offer while she's here.
