UConn seems to have done alright without any of Duncanville's stars. Also, they don't get all the best players. I, and many of us I'm sure, are tired of hearing that. Kelsey Plum, Makayla Epps, A'ja Wilson, Kelsey Mitchell, Sydney Wiese, Jordan Canada, Mercedes Russell, Diamond DeShields, Tori Jankoska, Sophie Cunningham, Chantel Osahor, Brianna Jones, Alaina Coates, Monique Billings, Victoria Vivians, Brianna Turner, Lindsay Allen, Asia Durr, Kalani Brown, Alexis Jones, Lexie Brown, Rebecca Greenwell, Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, Destiny Slocum, Sabrina Ionescu, Myisha Hines-Allen, Stephanie Mavunga, Sierra Calhoun, Nina Davis, Lauren Cox, Joiner Holmes, Brooke McCarty, Shakayla Thomas, Beatrice Mompremier, Leticia Romero, Erica McCall, Alexis Peterson, Brittney Sykes. There are even more, but you get the idea. It's a way of saying UConn gets all the best, so they should be the best. Not true as shown by a very high-profile team, which no longer is.
