Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3366379, member: 26"] Some very interesting things in that article... [I]“I feel like there’s more to my game that I don’t know about yet,” Gabriel said. “Throughout my time playing, I’ll find those skills. I’m working on my left hand, being stronger with the ball and with my post moves, things like that. “My goals for this season are to lead my team to another (NEPSAC Class C) championship, help my teammates get better, and help myself get better so I can do the things I need to for our team to win.” What Auriemma and Hazelton — a former UConn player under Jim Calhoun who finished his college career at the University of Rhode Island — agree on is that Gabriel will put in the work[/I]. First, the kid sounds like a gem. Hard worker, puts time in the gym, knows she needs to work on things, and is like a sponge. LOVE that from her. Almost more interestingly, former UCONN men's player Scott Hazelton is her coach? That's awesome. I love that she's getting pushed, and getting the best shot from every team she faces. It's a tiny bit of a concern that Geno feels that while she has a "presence in the lane", the "other stuff doesn't exist". I know he said she'd be the biggest surprise next season, so i'm wondering which comments are more on point - will she contribute more than anyone thinks,or is she so raw that she'd need at least 1 year of redshirting to be even remotely useful?
