Yes, this. Boneyarders are always saying Geno needs to play the bench more to help player development but where will the minutes come from with 15 on the bench? Paige and Aaliyah aren’t going to sit much, either
@sun, thank you for sharing this nice article.That's interesting, thanks.
This is her story abou it.
The first Minnesotan to play for Geno Auriemma? Go back 25 years
When Paige Bueckers committed to UConn, she was touted as becoming the first Minnesota women's basketball player to play at the powerhouse. Wrong. Remember Sarah Northway?www.startribune.com
For you? Three Guesses (But I'll bet you will get it on your first guess, since this team is near and dear to your heart).How many guesses do we get?
Husky Nan - "If" Sedona Prince would end up at UCONN (and if she doesn't fit and end up with UCONN, then the next logicial landing spot for her, in my opinion would be Notre Dame, to replace Ebo), I feel she would play at the 5 with Edwards moving to the 4, with Paige at the 1 and Azzi at the 2. As far as the 3/Wing spot, you could start Aubrey and also use Caroline off the bench. Yes, this would mean that Nika would then come off the bench to spell both Paige and Azzi. Then you could have Ice Brady come off the bench to spell Edwards. But that would be a luxury that many teams would like to have. Finally, yes, this would mean less minutes "potentially" for Ayanna, Amari, Jana, and others. Having the "MAX" (15 Players) would be allot, but look at last year and eventually coming down to less than 8 players available to play. (And I know I am skating on thin ice with this comment, but who knows what the 2023/2024 Roster will end up being at the start of the season?).
How do you think bringing in either of these two would slow down Jana or Ice's development ?? It would help them tremendously with the competition.
As Southie previously stated, Prince is not a center. She averaged 4.9 rebounds a game - and she’s 6-7. She’s not interested in banging in the post. I also think recruiting over all of the five forwards already on UConn’s roster is a very bad idea.
Maybe. Maybe not. So many things to consider with that whole thing. The competition may help them develop, which is a good thing and the opposite could happen, which nobody wants. But if in that competition what would happen to Prince or Morrow's playing time if they were beat out? Would they stay? Would they be okay sitting the bench getting little to no minutes after transferring? How would that impact team chemistry when you have two players that were starters getting minutes, shot attempts, and helping their previous team? They would go from lead singer to background vocalist shaking the maracas.
If Prince and Edwards were the front court, you could still start Azzi, Paige, and Nika.
Thank you
I don’t have a good feeling of Amari taking a big leap this year unfortunately for her I think she’s going to be passed by Paterson and Brady and pushed by Jana. She seems to be a really nice young lady and her teammates really look like they like her but I don’t know if she’s got the drive or the heart.
Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
haven’t seen anything in two seasons now that would indicate that this is possible
She hasn't learned this things yet what makes you think she is going to now. I hope she does but it doesn't look good for the future. I would take one of the 6'7" girls in a heartbeat. You can't teach height .
