Message: [QUOTE="BfromCT, post: 3850430, member: 10542"] The thread comparing the 2013-14 team with the current one is an incorrect one, as CajunHusky has already pointed out. The proper one is 2012-13 when Breanna Stewart was a freshman with 2020-21. The former team featured seniors Caroline Doty and Kelly Faris, juniors Stephanie Dolson and Bria Hartley, sophs Kaleena Mosquera-Lewis and Kiah Stokes, and freshman Moriah Jefferson, Morgan Tuck, and Breanna Stewart and the comparison should be between those of each class. The national champion 2012-13 team lost four games (3 to Notre Dame and 1 to Baylor) and had senior leadership. Doty was the shell of the player that burst on the Connecticut scene in the fall of 2008 due to numerous knee injuries and Faris was a tough defender. The present team has no seniors, although Evina Westbrook is in her fourth year of college. Juniors Stephanie Dolson and Bria Hartley were both extremely solid players who have had good pro careers. Compare them with Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Christyn Williams. Likewise compare KML and Stokes with Makurat and Griffin. The three 2012-13 and the three 2020-21 freshmen who are part of the rotation. If one compares class to class, it is clear to me that Breanna Stewart played on a more talented team than the present one. If we exclude the two stars from the equation, the only players on the current team who have had better seasons thus far than their equivalents are Aaliyah Edwards and possibly Aubrey Griffin.
