New roster and schedule?

[CocoHusky]

The roster is up!

I don't understand how someone can think I need help pronouncing Kia and not give me help pronouncing Azura'. Azura' is going to be wearing #23. did she have to get permission from KML or Maya or both?

So, by position, we have (in alphabetical order in each category):

Guards: Bent, Chong, Dangerfield, Lawlor, Nurse
Bigs: Butler, (Camara), Collier, Irwin, (Stevens) -- parenthesis denote that they are inactive in 2016-17
Swingers: Samuelson, Williams

From this, I would conclude that there is no depth problem at all in the backcourt.

There is a problem with depth in the front court, with only three eligible players for two positions (the 5 and the 4). If there is foul trouble or even a minor injury, this could be a problem.

It's a good thing that UConn has the "swingers", and that they are versatile. But I think we can predict that both Lou and Gabby will be required to play outside their comfort zone quite a bit this year. Lou may not like to play in the paint, but there will be games when she will have to do it. Gabby may not like to defend players that are 5 or 6 inches taller than she is, but sometimes she will have to do that.

I understand why you bunch a lot of players under "Bigs", but only Natalie is listed on the site as a center, and the rest of your bigs are listed there are as forwards or guard/forwards. I think there are (at least) 2 important distinctions (one "good" and one "bad") between your categories and those on the site:
1. Good: The site's designations suggest a more fluid, faster team. For example Napheesa is far more a slasher than someone setting up in the paint. She's no more a "big" than Lou, except that she is far better at timing rebounds. And, if Napheesa is a "big", then why do you put Gabby as a swinger?
2. Bad: When we do need muscle underneath (esp. against SC and Baylor), we have only Natalie (and perhaps Kyla).
