Message: [QUOTE="JonathanXIV, post: 4070275, member: 9217"] Back to the subject of Azzi and Geno's comments. I feel that Geno wants players who are exceptionally talented to take charge and exploit their talent. Recall Geno's expressed frustrations with Paige at the start of the season and her slow starts in games when she was deferring to the other players. Azzi, while extraordinarily talented, at times seems content to defer to other players (witness her role for USA basketball this Summer). Geno wants none of that. An Azzi intent on being aggressive offensively make UConn very, very hard to deal with it. And in the Boneyard vein, another random thought. I think that Evina is going to be very, very good this year. A level beyond what we have seen. Seemingly fully healthy, motivated, spending the Summer playing in a male pro-am league - she could be a handful this year. When I think about the real possibility of a healthy and motivated Evina, an Azzi taking advantage of her offensive talent, a returning Paige, Christyn playing like she did at the end of last season, an improved Aaliyah, adding in Dorka (and that doesn't even include returning starters Liv and Nika, and sharp shooter Caroline), this could be the most accomplished offensive team that UConn has ever put on the floor. And this is saying something. So when is the that first game again? [/QUOTE]
