Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5272787, member: 73"] Geno has the luxury of a very talented team. Some kids coming back from injury will need playtime to get up to speed. The freshman will need time to learn and adapt to Genos system. These are the players imo the most likely will not start until they meet Genos expectations. WIth that said Blanca may be the exception only because she has experience playing up and has played up since she was younger, However she too will have to learn the system first. I feel it is very important to maintain our team chemistry on both sides of the ball. A key will be not to screw up the team chemistry that brought us a NC. Therefore it is my opinion and thought that Geno will play the kids coming back who know the system and who can execute the system. Serah may be an exception and start because she has the experience. She may start however Jana will see starter minutes because she knows the system and how to execute it. Serah appears to be a more experienced offensive and defensive player. Azzi Sarah and Serah will start. I would expect KK and Ash to start too based on experience. Again based on experience they will not have to learn and adapt to the system making UConns chemistry flow. As everybody else progresses they will see playtime. I believe Allie and Ice will come off the bench. Allie is a great shooter/scorer and needs to continue to be developed. We need her shooting and ability to score. Ice I feel will be playing a little bit more outside and not down low. If we end up with another guard (ex. Heckel) this would give us another guard who is a reliable shooter/ scorer. This would put UConn over the top in talent and almost unbeatable. [/QUOTE]
