Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3379725, member: 26"] Jess Moore was very raw coming out of high school, so much so, in fact, that Geno decided to red shirt her for her freshman year. I don't believe that has ever been done in the history of UCONN WCBB (non-medical redshirt), so it speaks to how much work Jessica needed. Fortunately, she was not needed as she had Cash, Jones, and Williams ahead of her (which had a lot to do with the decision to redshirt her). So I would disagree in that IMHO Buck and Moore both started off similarly in college (raw with lots of work needed - in fact, Buck probably had more physical gifts). Moore developed into a starting center at UCONN and had a nice 9 year WNBA career. Buck graduated with a Nursing degree, is by all accounts a great person, but from a hoops perspective, did nothing of note (with the exception of 1 game vs. Baylor where she did a bang up job on Griner). Hence my question - will Gabriel develop more like Buck or Moore in her 4 years at UCONN? [/QUOTE]
