Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 5354382, member: 6986"] I have some of the most mixed emotions and assessments (all good) of any top 3 recruit I have seen in over 30 years of following Geno and UConn Women's Basketball. Emotionally, I wanted the Big O as much as Paige and Azzi. Perfect fit-smart player, makes teammates better, special basketball skills. While we were all relatively certain that Paige and Azzi could come in and immediately be one of the best players in the country, Olivia will likely be a top 20 player but still has room to grow. Likely one of the reasons she picked UConn. Many forget that while Dolson was productive as a frosh, her skills greatly expanded once she got in "UConn shape," understood how to play better defense against quicker players, and collaborated with her guards (i.e. most high school guards don't come close to UConn's skills or use UConn's system). Great fit with a win-win for all. Thrilled for all UConn fans. [/QUOTE]
