A subplot to consider is foul trouble. Like it or not, UConn, while it has a reputation for "not fouling" does have some foul prone players. 
I try to track player stats for top teams (and all players on UConn) and for next year, the 2025-26 season (I have 167 players in my database), UConn will have 5 players ranking in most prone to foul of the top 18.

Ayanna, during her freshman year, committed a foul every 6.2 min and would rank #3 
Morgan, committed a foul every 7.8 min ranking #7
Jana committed a foul every 8.3 min ranking #9
Ice committed a foul every 8.8 min ranking #14 (in 2023-24 she was 8.6)
Serah at Wisconsin, committed a foul every 9.3 min ranking #17

I do have faith that all of them will improve their "proneness" to foul with Morgan, Jana and even Serah drastically improving due better teammates, understanding of the team defense and coaching. will improve. Ice is a worry and Ayanna has not played in 2 years so that is also a worry. Given the depth of the team, Foul issues are only a minor concern but still, these 5 are very "unUConnlike" and need to get better at positioning to avoid fouls.
