Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2360462, member: 5798"] Yes!!! absolutely. If I had a choice Baylor's [B]6'7" Kalani Brown[/B] would be my mine too. I was responding to another poster's suggestion about McCowan. IMO, McCowan has some other limitations I did not mention. Of the post players due to graduate the next year or two, Brown (a junior) would be my choice. She has the height, the weight, and her foot work is progressing. She runs the floor decently, however she needs to increase her stamina. At 6'6", senior post [B]Mercedes Russell[/B] will surely draw interest from a number of WNBA teams that are looking to improve their roster at the post position. I'd be surprised if she were not taken late (9-12) in the first round. I'm not sure she could be a starter, but she could definitely be an adequate back-up, giving her team 12-18 minutes a game. Agreed, she would be a great back up for Nneka. She would be better than what they have now, keeping in mind that you can't coach height, and there's no substitution for height. Which is why [B]it is imperative[/B] that UConn find and secure a legitimate (preferably dominant) post player in the next two classes. IMHO, I don't think UConn wants to revisit the "challenges" they endured last year. The "fix" or counter measure they used during that campaign (Gabby) will no longer be available. If not, maybe lightning will strike twice, and another dissatisfied/disgruntled post will want to transfer in. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
