Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4148005, member: 9844"] My read of the original post is mmeade258 is very excited about the potential of that lineup, but wasn't sure if the most likely starter at C was Dorka or Amari. My best guess would be Dorka, but Amari's ranking suggests it is not a given, and we have not seen enough of her so far in a Uconn uniform to draw many conclusions. Remember her ESPN ranking at 15 was the low, the others had her top 10 and I believe one as high as 5. I guess if you looked at the overall HS rankings of Azzi, Caroline and Amari, they may not be that different from Christyn, Evina and Liv, but I fully expect the newcomers to be better in time than our three seniors have been. That is partly because our seniors have under-performed their rankings substantially. Yes there may be a new toy element to it, but if those three newcomers simply play to their rankings they will be an upgrade over the graduating seniors. Among the three comparisons I feel very confident Azzi will be better than Christyn, pretty confident Caroline will be better than Evina, and consider Amari vs. Liv to be a tossup at this early point in their development. Of the 5 positions projected C might be the weakest regardless of if it's Dorka, Amari or even Piath, and if that is true we might be in pretty good shape. [/QUOTE]
