Message: [QUOTE="Big Mick, post: 4281615, member: 7201"] aaaagh, Jeez: Here's the facts: 1) Coming out of high school, Piath was a "rain barrel" , i.e. big and round. 2) She had no basketball skills to speak of. 3) She couldn't believe (and said so at the time) that Geno wanted to bring her to Storrs. 4) Geno described her as a long term project: Emphasis on "long term" and "project". Fast forward two years: 1) The "rain Barrel" has been pared down to a sleek looking 6' 5" athletic frame 2) she has footwork for that catch and shoot layup in the low post. 3) Totally naive with regard to post offensive and defense skills. 4) Progressing somewhere along that "long term project" path. 5) Not YET ready for prime time. Here's hoping that she is making a good choice. Huge difference being involved in UCONN practices and Game days, than gaining minutes before sparse crowds of parents and friends. [/QUOTE]
