Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3806058, member: 730"] The analogy to Nurse is excellent. When Nurse was entering her freshman year there were lots of fans yawning basically because she didn't play HS ball in the US. Too slow, can't jump, no outside shot, never played at an elite level. When I pointed out that she played on the national team against adult competition in the FIBA America's I was informed that the competition there was weak, and they said that at the same time that they were praising other UConn recruits for their play against teenagers in another U-something America trials. Muhl is already a better defender than several past UConn freshmen that went on to start and star. I don't think shooting was a high priority for her at home but given her obvious athletic ability and her work ethic I don't see that being a problem next season. And until then I like having a backup pg who can pass, dribble and play defense. And she's feisty. [/QUOTE]
