Well I was thinking on average. She's going to have ups and downs, all players do. How many players ever have averaged 18-20 rebounds/game in a season? Let alone a player that probably won't play more than 25 minutes since there will be plenty of blow outs and Geno will do what he usually does and experiment especially to get the freshmen experience. The main thing we will miss about Stef, besides her personality, is her running the offense. We're not going to get that with Stokes, and she's not magically going to inherit that ability from Stef over the summer. However, our offense should still be plenty good on raw talent alone, so that shouldn't be a huge loss.
My hyperbole was wasted on you? Just throwing out numbers to dwarf yours, but I truly think she is a Dennis Rodman type rebounder. She just gets everything.
 
Two points:

In her post game Muffit spoke about her strategy of "getting into UConn's bench," meaning Kiah (I suppose).
She felt they had a match-up advantage against our "big" lineup. And indeed their comeback in the first half was against that 5
(need to re-watch, to be certain). She further said that in the 2nd half, Geno kept his starters in and they couldn't get anything going…
Just saying, not a knock on Kiah, for all I know, she was speaking of the next two, who hardly played. And more likely, her "advantage" was a fantasy.

As stated earlier, when Kiah is at the high post, turns and finds herself loosely guarded, she should rumble a bee-line to the hoop.
She displays that move (maybe shooting with either hand) and she will be a force to be reckoned with. All-American? Who knows, but surely a true monster of the hardwood.
When Bria went out, we lost some defensive pressure, I think, which may have accounted for the Notre Dame 3 point shooting spree.
