Message: [QUOTE="Argonaut, post: 3107763, member: 9658"] I don't care who you are, when you come into UConn as the best player in the country and suddenly there is someone criticizing every move you make, you're going to go into shock. Hell, even Stewie had rocky points in her freshman year. I'm not saying Megan is Stewie, but there is an adjustment period for everyone. So Megan is sitting on the bench, and looks out on the floor and sees Gabby, Kia, Phee and thinks that's how you have to perform in order to get playing time. Then, when she gets in the game, there is that pressure to play at that level or sit back down. When you have limited minutes off the bench, the pressure on you is to do [B]everything [/B]because there are fewer minutes to prove yourself. Every second gets put under a microscope because there are fewer to watch in film. Your mistakes are magnified. Now, again, you're coming in as the #1 recruit in the nation who has heard very little, up to this point, other than how great of a basketball player you are. Tell me that's not going to mess with your head and your game. Different kids will respond in different ways, naturally, but I'd imagine the leap we saw from Megan from this year to last year will pale in comparison to what we see from this year to next. She's getting over her own hurdles, but I'm guessing she put up more than we'll ever truly realize. [/QUOTE]
