Thanks for sharing this. One of ways Serah will benefit from playing for UConn is that she will have an opportunity to play away from the basket as well as in the post, which will boost her draft stock. In fact, Geno will insist on it. And if Serah's high post and perimeter skills are undeveloped, CD and Jamelle will rectify that by tournament time.
These per player breakdown predictions rarely prove realistic. Those ranges add up to 88-105 points per game.

That's true but assuming that Sarah will average a bit more than twenty points a game, Azzi will score around twenty points a game and Serah will average fifteen points a game is not really a stretch is it? Now add ten points each for KK and Ash and look where you are already.......
in the games I watched she was comfortable at the high post and not reluctant to shoot the foul line jumper She is pretty close to the finished product.
I believe they averaged around 82 points per game last year.......Yes it’s a stretch to say the very least.
People would be wise to consider what became of the bombastic predictions of 90 or even 100 ppg before last season.
90 pts per game?
Will Paige & Co score 90 points/game this season? If so, where will it come from? In the Paige era, which really only consists of 2 season so far, the girls have only managed 80+ twice: 82 points (20-21) 80 points (23-24). The other two seasons, with Paige mainly riding the rehab bench...
You’re kidding right. She will get 20 minutes easy she’s better than most if not all that’s on the roster. No reason not to take better players these days.
I forgive you. Know exactly what you mean. Twice, even 3 times is good.
It was a question because of the name they used - Bianca and not Blanca. We all know who Blanca is…Blanca Quinonez - Ecuador (and she looks great)
UConn lands 2025 Ecuadorian wing Blanca Quiñonez
The Huskies add another top international prospect.
I had Blanca as a guard also. I was trying to show a lineup that Geno could use if he wanted to go really big.
Blanca, Morgan, Caroline, Shade, Jana, Ice, and Allie. There is no shortage of players who will supply the points. However, for some of the posters who are predicting an undefeated season or another NC, just remember SC, UCLA, and LSU are feeling the same way about their team. I think like ERWUC65: Nothing is given.
I would think that if a player earns playing time by how they play in practice, certainly she would earn it by how she plays in games and KK and Shade have surely earned their playing time. Some of you want to hand the point guard spot to Heckel.
No, it seems that maybe you don't know what you are talking about. You get the best player available that fits your system. Latson and Fulwiley were two of the best players available but would not have fit UConn's system.
Allie did not commit to UConn to sit on the bench, but she did. Neither did Jana, KK, or Shade. Have you talked to Heckel about why she committed to UConn?
Yeah. defense and passing aren't really Fulwiley's system....
Insightful video. Thank you for sharing.
There are several different versions of this online video on the internet that purports to outline UConn’s analytics based approach to recruiting Serah. While it is very interesting, it’s not based on any available facts.
Yup, the FF was a clinic. But the seasonal numbers were probably helped by the BE.
So more or less split 50/50 with KK? That could happen, but I see a few more minutes for KK. Maybe 60/40.
Thanks Nan. The numbers really tell the story this year. Having the best defense and best field goal percentage makes the best scoring margin a very likely outcome. Two numbers that jump out at me from these statistics that are going to change next year right away because of Serah are being 337th in free throw attempts per game and being 263rd in offensive rebounds per game. A sophomore season for Jana after a summer of training and skill work outs will also help both categories and the addition of Blanca, a slashing driver, is just one other factor among many that will help the free throws also.
UConn was a perimeter-oriented, jump shooting team until late in the season. Not many opportunities for fouls
Very fundamentally sound player. I like the way she sets a pick, clean with no movement. I like the way she seals underneath. Just pro level. I like the way she can shoot a short push shot or jumper and how she runs the floor on a break. She has to be covered at all times anywhere from 15 feet in (even more at times). Imagine what that means for Sarah. If Serah takes her post defender outside that leaves the key open for Sarah. Who can cover her one on one underneath with her moves? If Sarah is being defended by a 4 outside, that leaves the key open for Serah underneath.
Yes especially with 4 solid to great outside shooters starting and a 5th, Ash coming in as 6th or 7th man. Different ball game now. The ball is going down below, a fertile area for fouls.
