Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4390639, member: 73"] Geno has alot of options and can use many combinations. With a stacked team he will need to find playtime for the highly recruited players or else they may end up like Mir and Saylor. I dont see that happening. Lets face it UConn is packed with talent and that talent needs experience and needs to be developed to fit into the lineup. We have an experienced point guard in Nika. Nika knows the UConn system and knows the players. Azzi has played the point but my feeling is Geno recruited her to be a shooter and lets face it shes a great shooter. So Ines and Azzi may see minutes at the PG but I feel the best will be Nika. Nika will need rest so Ines will see some minutes. Lou is a shooter as is Azzi and Caroline. The bigs Edwards Deberry Patterson ICE Dorka will learn to play together. Griff is a inbetweener. Understand last years roster of players have Earned Playtime. Theyve paid their dues. The newbies to the roster still have to learn the system and be taught how to play UCONN BB. Our schedule is tuff and starts out very tuff. Think for a minute...if Paige was healthy what would be starting lineup look like. Maybe Dorka Edwards Nika Paige and Azzi Take Paige out and I would think put Caroline in for nothing more then she has proved herself. I do believe she will surprise alot of fans this season. Caroline took over a few games last season. This season she is experienced and to do what she did when Geno needed her last season gives you an idea of what shes made of. With that said I expect to see alot of different combinations based on game situations. Its gonna be interesting to see early on against Texas and NC State how the pieces of the puzzle come together.
