Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 3160224, member: 961"] I'm skeptical (of most things, including this). There seems to be a lot of talent, but to get this group of young women to mature into one of the four best teams in the country will require, IMHO, the coaching job of Geno's career. Consider the players: Dangerfield: She's a helluva point guard and a fine player - probably the team leader -- but can she hold up for a whole season, especially if she has to carry most of the PG load. It did not work out especially well for her this year. ONO: Can she do what we all believe she is capable of doing? What happens if she doesn't or, more likely, is not consistent? Walker: Can she be the consistent scorer that UConn needs? The newcomers? There simply is no way to project what they will be like, especially a European playing a completely different kind of ball than the average high school senior. Yes they look promising, but so have lots of others. Will they turn into another Dangerfield or AEH? Will that fifth-year transfer make a real contribution, or is she a warm body? Just askin'. Camara: Just which Camara is UConn getting next year? The one who rode the bench or the one who is lighting up the international game? And what quality level is that, anyway? The rest of the bench: Remains the rest of the bench. Irwin and Bent can provide some serviceable moments, but to expect much more, especially in a non-conference game against a high-level opponent, is just asking too much. So that's the raw material. The team could be really good or really disappointing. Coaching and coachability will tell the tale. [/QUOTE]
