Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3367131, member: 26"] Actually, I was referring to Jessica Moore. She was very raw as well. IMHO there's a difference between a player who is raw and who simply needs more basketball skills (Jess Moore and Piath Gabriel), vs. players who are already really good and just need to be acclimated into the UCONN system (Adebayo, Camara, Stevens, Westbrook). For the raw players, the year off will help big time. For the players with already advanced hoops skills, I agree totally with you. I'm not saying PIath will be red-shirted, but if we take Geno's comments at face value and that she literally has no skills besides size and a presence in the lane, then she won't be useful at all. BUT... his other comment "the player who will surprise the most next year is Piath"... you know - Geno talks in hyperbole sometimes so... who knows! :) [/QUOTE]
