Message: [QUOTE="victor64, post: 5289397, member: 7101"] As a fan of Q, I appreciate the supportive thread. A couple of thoughts. Geno encourages freshmen to be who they are, play to their strengths. During Q's first year she demonstrated a smooth stroke from three and the ability to run the floor. Unfortunately, she often was out of control, a little lost defensively and missed a lot of makable open looks. The result was usually mop up time even though healthy bodies were sparse. I saw a different Q during her sophomore year. The change, after I would guess multiple meetings with the staff, was an obvious effort to address the identified shortcomings. She was not a shoot first player, she made effort to be an impactful boards and was not nearly as out of control as she was her first year. The effort to change did not result in an uptick in playing time. My guess is that she never earned Geno's trust. Especially on the defensive end. Plus, her position was loaded with some good players. There is no guarantee that she will thrive with Wes Moore. I do know that she is a terrific athlete with a great shooting touch. How much time she gets depends on how quickly she adapts to the Wolfpack scheme. As others have stated, seeing her at the parade and the WNBA draft spoke volumes. I don't know anything about rumored off the court issues but she seemed to enjoy her teammates. That is enough for me to wish her nothing but success at NC State. [/QUOTE]
