Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2431594, member: 7511"] I agree that more depth would certainly be advantageous when playing as fast as UConn does, but there is a difference between playing 48 minutes in the pros and 40 in college. I do believe that other players will step up. It looks like AEH is close to gaining some quality PT, and hopefully Batouly can establish herself as a legitimate option off the bench. For me, Coombs is the X factor. Watching her in HS, I felt her defense and passing ability were even better than Walker. Evidently, she is still wrestling with the demands of playing basketball for UConn. The good news is that over and over again, a player suddenly “gets it,” usually during practice. It happened for Pheesa during her freshman season, right before the tournament, and she provided solid minutes off the bench from then on. Hopefully we will see Coombs or some other player have a similar epiphany of sorts. [/QUOTE]
