Message: [QUOTE="CamrnCrz1974, post: 2045385, member: 1052"] I certainly understand your point about Gabby Williams' overall development. She shot 46 percent from the free throw line as a freshman; last year it went up to 75 percent and is at 70 percent this year. She had a total of 101 assists in her first two seasons combined; she has 133 assists so far this year (2.1 A/TO). She had 27 blocks her first two years combined; this year alone, she is at 32 and counting. She went from averaging about 5.67 rpg her first two years up to 8.6 rpg. 13.1 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 5.32 apg, 2.8 spg, 1.3 bpg Basically, she has turned into a defensive nightmare matchup because of her ability to guard quick perimeter players and bigger post players (with her savant skill being her athleticism/leaping ability). Think about this - 15 percent of opponents' turnovers are because of Gabby Williams. But she has added an incredible dimension of playmaker. I just wanted to point out on thing... [U]Gabby Williams' recruiting rankings[/U] ASGR: #2 Blue Star: #6 ESPN/Dan Olson: #14 Prospects Nation: #18 One ranking service had her in the top five; another in the top 6; two others in the top 20. She came into UConn as an All-American HS player. She was already considered one of "the best players," with two services listing her among the best of the best. I think it is fair to say that Geno gets *some* of the best players, but turns them into "the best players they can possibly be." He maximizes their skillsets; he helps players constantly develop and improve to reach their absolute full potential. [/QUOTE]
