Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3888248, member: 3535"] I agree. To further that, if this team had Walker, UCONN would be like some of other of the great UCONN super teams. I don't agree with anyone "talking down Walker" to the degree it's being done. With Walker, 1-- This team wouldn't have to see much of Liv (or Aubrey) taking 15+ 20+ foot jump shots in close, big games. 2-- UCONN would have been undefeated. 3-- There would have been more rest for Paige, CWill and Evina because UCONN would have blown out teams much earlier. 4a-- Her presence would have allowed for growth due to stiffer competition between Edwards, Evina, CWIll and Nika. 4b-- Walker would have given a shot to have benched anyone at the 1-4 positions who wasn't performing such as CWill's game vs Arkansas. (Geno would have used minutes as the driving force to reward playing time rather than having to play players that weren't performing to his standards.). 5-- Walker would have been playing with better players across the board (I love ya Danger but Paige is better) coached by the greatest WCBB in the history of the sport. That would have translated into better performances across the board. 6-- Her terrific shooting would have opened up the lane - thus resulting in tremendous ball movement / execution of offense sets. 7-- She would've fit perfectly with Paige. You'd have two tremendous outside shooters. It's not like UCONN hasn't had super players on the same court before. Especially when one is a great, great, great passer. 8-- UCONN would have been the prohibitive favorite to win it all. Just countering all the negative regarding Walker. Walker should not have been brought up here but as she was - then might as well give her her deserved props. She helped keep UCONN relevant on a highly flawed team. And that's huge. [/QUOTE]
