Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3470973, member: 7492"] I really like the enthusiasm and the context that many have given-it helps evolve the dialogue and understanding. Some additional facts to support of refute assertions already made: Diana started 14 of 33 games. Sven started 19/19 before the injury. Agreed this was as loaded a team as any in UConn history. Maya started 30 of 38 games her freshman year. We also had a 3 year lull of S16, Elite 8, Elite 8 before Maya arrived. Breanna started 14/36 Kia Nurse started 36/39 games and that is impressive given Mo was the point and Soniya played in 38 games that year. Crystal Dangerfield started 6/31 Megan did not start any games- 0/32 Christyn started all 38/38 and as noted, we did not have any talent depth. Next year, we will have depth. Evina brings an edge that this team is lacking. Paige also brings an attitude that may bump heads with Geno at times. Her talent should win out in the end but there will be growing pains. My guess is she could be starting by mid-late January given our understanding and expectations of her maturation. Either way, the team should be very good at ball movement with Anna, Evina, Paige, Nika, Liv, Meg, CW and Aubrey. Add in the newbies of Aaliyah, Piath and Mir to learn and understand the offense and that’s pretty impressive. [/QUOTE]
