Message: [QUOTE="DEpup, post: 3776811, member: 8579"] For me, I think Mir is going through a lot of what Aubrey did early last year. Unfortunate for Mir there is more talent on the team this year. Both Mir and Aubrey are such great athletes that they got through highschool on the athleticism and instinct. Now Mir is at UConn and Geno expects his players to actually play "organized" all around basketball and contribute to what the team is trying to accomplish collectively. A few times I've seen Mir get the ball and just run to the rim to force a shot whether it was available or not instead of passing out of it. I've also seen her not be where she needed to be on defense. One time today Anna ended up getting a foul because Mir was lost on defense and didn't rotate over. In summation, Mir is a great athlete from the neck down and now she needs to work the muscle between the ears to learn the plays and she'll be golden. It's only game 4... A lot of pretty good UConn players started out pretty clueless as freshman. I mean she didn't even get the benefit of summer practices. Somehow I remember someone with the nickname Gabulous who played mostly 4th quarter minutes her freshman year and she turned out pretty good. Patience folks. [/QUOTE]
