Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3428918, member: 7093"] I think you are saying something I will put a bit differently. In the past, when UCONN has signed a top recruit ( HS POY, for example ), we have gotten players who. almost immediately, became reliable superstars. Maya Moore was the best of the best. But MKL and Katy Lou were pretty exciting early. And, certainly, by sophomore season were showing their ability to dominate. Megan has not been on that same trajectory...nor has Williams....both HS POYs. Megan has shown marked improvement, but she has also shown flaws which she has been slow to correct ( poor decision making, turnovers, and inconsistency ). Christen Williams has been even slower to emerge. I am struck by the comment one Boneyard member recently posted to the effect that " Williams' best game still remains her performance against Notre dame in December of her freshman year." So these top-rated players have not come close to meeting the expectations established by their predecessors. And that has been a drag on our performances against top competition. It also makes them easy targets of our frustration. [/QUOTE]
