Paige Sauer?

Both Sauer and Hansmeyer did lose their starting positions, but it was permanent. It was not a game-to-game "you didn't give enough effort in practice" thing.

I stand by claims:
  • Geno rarely changes starting lineups
  • when he does it is almost always evidence of significant problems, and
  • he uses playing time (not starting) to reward effort in practice

wrong, you're not gonna get a lotta stats and paragraphs of info from me neither... but I liked what you said about chemistry, hopefully Kiah gets it just as much as the others.

starting her wouldnt hurt in the AAC

Now this -- starting her wouldn't hurt in the AAC -- is probably the real point. when I first read the headline on this post, I, too, was wondering what the OP was smokin'. But the more I thought about it, this might make sense. Let's say UConn doesn't get that #1 prospect who is a center and whose name I am forgetting. Kiah is likely to be the center in 14-15. I would not suggest she start in the big games, but it might not be a bad idea to start her in many of the league games.

This could become particularly important if the things that were physically wrong with Stef last year can come back if she plays too much.
 
perfect season for her to get going... as I said BStew's ego wouldnt be bruised if she had to come off the bench.

BStew will never, ever be a bench player again as long as she is in a UConn jersey. Hard to believe that you actually might be thinking otherwise.

Exactly, so Stokes shouldn't have a problem with continuing to come off it.

DaddyChoc, who is this BStew? Beef Stew? Do we have a new walk on? Imagine the fan chant...BStew, BStew, BStew ... and the bewilderment and consternation in the concession stands bereft of beef stew!
 
Nope, not saying that the bench is the worse place to be...but, Stewie is a once in a generation product and I stand by my comment she will be a starter until she leaves UConn. Hartley while she is a special player...is not a player of the year type...Stewie is... Hartley will certainly have a successful pro career but she won't go number one in the draft...Stewie will.
 
Here we are again with the same argument.

What will Geno do and what would you do.

In the first case, there is no way Geno is going to start Stokes. The comparison to the Hartley situation is way off. Hartley volunteered to go to the bench at the end of the season. It was a short term solution to getting Stewart in the starting lineup while still starting Doty.

DC said he would start Stokes. He is welcome to his opinion, like anyone else. I wouldn't. But on here, we all get to play coach. And we all have to be repaired to get hammered when others don't agree.

IMO, Tuck would start before Stokes. And I'm certain that Geno understands that Stokes will probably be the starting center next year and will do everything he can to prepare her for that. I don't believe that includes starting her.

Obviously I have not noticed years of BStew. Not a charming nick name. She's Stewie to me. But lighten up. It was an attempt at Monday morning humor.

Well it is certainly better than the other fan chant - Give me a 'B', give me an 'S', What's that spell? 'B-S', What do we want 'B-S', I can't hear YOU ' 'B-S' 'B-S', 'B-S'!!!
That was censored shortly after she committed to attend Uconn.
:cool:

Actually, while it's not her usual nickname, it was first posted on this board in 2011. I believe, including this thread, there are 95 references to BStew.
 
Wonk, that doesn't mean it is changing any time soon.
