Even as we acknowledge the shortcomings (pun intended) of the opposition in the two practice games, it is not possible to not get goosebumps over Morgan Tuck's dominance in both games.
It now appears that in all of the voluminous speculation about Morgan's role, most BY prognosticators got some projections right and were a half bubble off plumb with others.
I was in the mistaken minority who thought that Ms Tuck is simply too good not to start. Well, she is, but the need to sustain rebounding strength through the course of games clearly prevailed over individual talent issues.
Some 'Yarders simply forgot how good -- really, really good in Genospeak -- a player Morgan is/was. My belief is that she plays the game of basketball as well as anyone in college not named Breanna Stewart. Think a reincarnation of Alyssa Thomas. Or Swin Cash. That good.
Finally, forget any notion that Geno would carefully ration her minutes. He seems to believe that when Rosemary says, "She's ready to play," that means Ready to Play.
So, thinking optomistically, Morgan will be eligible to play in about 115 games in her three seasons (this and two to follow). If she plays 240 minutes or so, we can expect about 200 points, 180 rebounds, inspirational leadership and two or more NC's.
GO MORGAN! GO HUSKIES!
