Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 3739836, member: 7171"] 2021-2022 and beyond will provide some interesting challenges. I hesitate to call it an embarrassment of riches, for fear that the Boneyard would come down on me like a ton of bricks. And I know, I`m getting ahead of things, the 2020-2021 season hasn`t started yet. In any event, if everyone is there that could be there, admittedly a big "if", 2021-2022 shapes up as the deepest team in UConn history. Perhaps even deeper than the 1999-2000 National Champions, which I think was Geno`s deepest team although that is obviously subject to debate. Six WNBA players- Abrosimova, Schumacher, Bird, Cash, Jones, Williams; plus Ralph, Sauer and Hansmeyer. Positions are flexible and ESPN rankings are not the be all to end all. Nevertheless, using reasonable position assignments and applying that somewhat arbitrary ranking scale: Guards: three number ones - Williams (2018), Bueckers (2020), Fudd (2021); a number two - Westbrook (2017); a number five - Ducharme (2021); a highly regarded 2020 international player - Muhl; and 2020 walk-on Chiasson. Forwards: four in the top 30 - Griffin (21, 2019); Edwards (23, 2020); McLean (25, 2020); and Poffenbarger (30, 2021). ESPN probably underrated two or three of those players. Plus Makurat, 2019, a highly regarded international player who started as a Freshman. Center: a number five - ONO (2018); a number 15 - DeBerry (2021); and a 2020 with size and potential, Gabriel. Oh my. [/QUOTE]
