Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5137790, member: 12088"] I disagree when it comes to Allie, and it’s probably also true of Morgan. They are not arrogant egotists who think they can do anything. You may not have noticed but Geno tends not to recruit those types. I only express a caveat about Morgan because she seems to me, at least, to be a bit closer to entering the rotation than Allie is. I will not be surprised to see Morgan get some minutes against ND and USC, and not just in garbage time. Her conditioning and foot speed is better than Allie’s and she tends to hit her shots on defense better than Allie does, so far. Another thing to remember is that these girls play against each other in practice all the time. They see how they measure up against their heroes, Paige and Azzi. The bar those two set is really high, and you’d have to think these kids are fools not to recognize this. They also see the difference between what they are capable of and what Sarah can do. This is surely not lost on them. Maybe if I frame it in terms of your hero, Caitlin, you’ll understand: there wasn’t more resentment of her as a freshman at Iowa because she proved herself in practice every day. Allie and Morgan didn’t become top recruits because they lacked self-knowledge. [/QUOTE]
