Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4065817, member: 5798"] Ditto Pup. If you’ve read any of my prior comments regarding freshmen, you know that I subscribe to Geno’s philosophy on freshmen. Every year he reminds us that it takes the “average” freshman a full year to understand UConn’s system, and be able to play within that system and be productive. So based on that, I don’t expect any freshman to come in and be the “Savior.” Paige Bueckers was in fact a savior last year. I think we can all agree she’s NOT average. A savior in every sense of the word, winning every award she was eligible for. In my humble opinion, anything we get from freshmen is gravy. I’m not pinning my hopes and aspirations on any incoming freshman, no matter how good they were in high school. If they can come in and help us right away (Paige, Aaliyah and Nika), great. But I’m not depending on them to do so. [/QUOTE]
