Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5013932, member: 3535"] It's hard to specify/define what UCONN will be right now but the UCONN men and UCONN women can't be compared. WCBB players play 4 years. As a result super players have much more of an impact as they mature. and therefore the style of play can be greatly altered because the super players are so great. In the current WNBA Stewie and Wilson. In the NBA it's been Lebron and Curry with a few others but as they've aged new players step up = look at Dall’s right now with their two big time players. Before that The Joker would get huge minutes. UCONN women have had 3 #1 recruits the past 5 years. I agree with a comment Geno made a couple of years ago his team would have most like won a title (without the injuries). I believe so - within these last 4 at least one (including the year Walker left early after only playing 3. If healthy has a junior ever left UCONN without winning a title for the wnba?). So imo what he is going to do is lean on Paige in a motion Offense and then see who else emerges. I expect per the below link her is going to think similar this year that he needs 3 scorers to beat the elite teams. Though he might feel he needs more because the team Defense probably takes a hit unless Aubrey comes back full-throttle but even then . . . Anyway at about 24.5 mark on Geno talks about needing a 3rd scorer. So I think he’ll have team run so he won’t want to go too “big” with Ice/Jana/Sarah much (but definitely Aubrey if healthy) and run the same Offense with hopes he can get more explosive yet assured scoring while all-the while understand that his Defense inside is going to be crucial toward team success as well. Maybe when Sarah is out to revert to also playing small—I don’t know. Unless Jana is also a natural PF – I don’t know.
