Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 5351125, member: 13141"] Certainly Janelle and others are working closely and repeatedly with Yanna to bring her into form for playing UConn type defense. She definitely looks in shape but now the next steps are dependent on her own motivation to improve. Offensive skills reinforcement should come only after defense drills. She needs to improve her balance and footwork for rebounding, how to successfully contest a shot by avoiding reaching and striking the opponents arms or hands to reduce or eliminate a whistle and more of the drills that UConn has used for years working with some tremendous as well as some good to average post players. Janna is well worth any of the time spent coaching her 1 on 1. I think we will see a much improved Janna as the season progresses. [/QUOTE]
