Dear  Charlie,  I sincerely hope you are correct.  By my observation, however, there is an enormous, and likely uncorrectable flaw in Coombs' game;  specifically her outside shot is hopeless.  It is hopeless to the point that, after seeing her shoot it three times, I said, " she will never hit a three point shot at UCONN."  I know this is preposterous, but I use exaggeration to make a point.  Take a look at the tape;  her outside shot begins at mid-waist level.  She " flicks " the ball ( only term that fits ) toward the basket, with two hands.  But the fact is;  her eyes, the ball and the hoop never line up.  So it is pure luck if the shot happens to find the rim, the backboard, or anything within the arena.  She never made a three all year, by the way.  I think it is far too late to correct this approach.

Now, perhaps, someone will go back ( please do ) to her HS performances, and document that shooting threes was a strength.

As I said,  I want to be wrong here.  But, from what I have seen , she is a guard without an outside shot.  And she played so little, she is basically a freshman again. So it is hard to see her as a starter, despite her athleticism.
