Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4385504, member: 3535"] Defense is predicated by "Help Defense." SO ofc help can solve the problem. That's what good defenses do/ how they are set up. So who is this "bag bad wolf" at the small forward are you thinking of that is so unstoppable that even help defense can't slow down or help so much that this superstar team would make them so unstoppable to guard? Heck even as the guard position as quick as Jefferson was, she needed Stewart and Stokes. sometimes. It wasn't all her. On a similar note in regards to the Recruiting thread in which you said it was "essential" UCONN land two more post frosh recruits now looking into 2024-25 season-- why?? You saw two years ago UCONN go to the FF and they had a banged up Evina Westbrook as their starting PF as she got stuck playing 33, 38, 40, and 40 her last 4 games. They only had two legit scorers and their other frontcourt was the frosh Edwards and Liv wasn't very effective as a junior. So in 2024-2025 in which Amari would be a senior, Brady and Patterson juniors and to play potentially play small ball you could have Ducharme, a senior play pf just like Geno has done getting to FF with Evina but this time the frontline would be potentially better, right? SO I don’t follow the recruiting thread much but I had wanted to ask coco or maybe you or anyone else why not get a super wing in the 2024 class so when you either rest Ducharme or if you put Ducharme at the PF for spot minutes the super wing fills in at Small Forward? Why must it be post post post in this 2023 class? Why not Strong in 2024? And it seems you have zero confidence in Amari, Brady and Patterson???? Otherwise why are you using the word "Essential" rather than wait and see? Couldn't there possibly be another "Dorka" out there too? It's why I don’t buy this desperation that UCONN needs not one but two low posts. I will say if one of them is a known super elite recruit, hell yeah get her. [/QUOTE]
