Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2045140, member: 4946"] Eh, at the same time KLS was the Gatorade HS POY. Collier was a consensus top-5 recruit. And as far as physical superiority goes - Gabby Williams was 5th in high jump at the Olympic Trials at 15. Calling them "a bunch of understudies" is quite misleading. Obviously, talent alone does not explain what they've done this season, that's where "method, approach, and above all playing the game as a kind of ethic" comes in. The learning process of Young and Boley has definitely underscored for me how it's not as simple as handing high school All-Americans a basketball and watching the wins pile up. So overall I get what she is saying but the article is a little disingenuous to me. By the way, my boxscore says KLS started. Which means that UConn didn't have a starter over 6-1 is outright inaccurate. Or maybe KLS shrunk but UConn still says she's 6-3. [/QUOTE]
