I rewatched last summer's U19 game between the US and Canada and frankly Edwards was a non-factor for much of the game. I am very optimistic that eventually she can be a star because she has the physical tolls, but at least last summer she didn't compete very well against the US.

I continue to see a pattern where HS recruits are touted as the next big thing, who will fit right into the rotation and contribute, only to see them flounder. Griffin is an exciting prospect who I hope to see develop into a great college player. She has athletic tools that are rare and shows flashes of what she can become but she is not ready for prime time even now, late in her freshman year. 
   There are a few prodigies (I think Bueckers is one) but for the rest starting out at UConn it is a struggle. Next season, with the exception of Bueckers, the success of the Huskies will rest with the 5 returning players. I expect them to be a completely finished product, polished and hardened. The freshman class? I'll pass on predicting.
