Supporting role tidbits Walker and Williams

[Carnac]

Weight room workouts with a strength and conditioning coach can not be discounted. We've seen too many examples of the results a disciplined workout regime can produce. Most recently Dangerfield and Walker.

ONO has already begun strength and conditioning workouts with the team trainer. A program has already been devised and implemented that will not only maximize her workouts, but add muscle (weight) as well. We will probably not see a noticeable difference until this time next year, but we will see it. Who knows, perhaps this time next year Geno will say the same thing he just said about Walker, that she’s virtually unrecognizable.

I don't see what Mikayla has shown, and we all know there will be questions about her recovery from illness. So I wouldn't automatically pencil her in. And you have basically written off Molly and Kyla. Many of us feared that they were unknown and unheralded recruits who would never be UCONN caliber. Useful only for garbage time in one-sided romps. I am still hoping for a miracle.

Unless Molly and Kyla can develop increased footspeed, unlikely they will get significant minutes. UConn has always had BOTH top offensive and DEFENSIVE players in county. Since the current lineup has great offensive talent, likely Geno will rely on bench when shut down defender is needed. Not sure who this will be but unlikely to be either Molly or Kyla based on past performance.
