Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3317676, member: 26"] Fair point. We sometimes watch an early game and worry that the team will never "get it" because they look disjointed and out of synch. Crystal is still not 100%. No Evina strips the team of not only a talented player, but also one with college experience. We have 3 starters coming back. Christyn and Megan are being asked to take on not only more of a leadership role, but also a scoring role. Replacing Lou and Pheesa - impossible of course, but still we have to do it. Olivia, for all her improvements over the summer, will now be asked to play 25-30 minutes per game on average (more vs. top teams, probably less in blowouts). The 5th starter will be either Anna or Aubrey. Both showed some excellent things in the exhibition game. Both have a long way to go. Both will contribute big time. Glad Molly and Kyla are getting minutes, but if we really NEED them to do anything in big games, we are in trouble. Great teammates. Great representatives for UCONN. Role players extraordinaire. Solid fundamentals and will contribute a lot against non-elite teams. Evelyn in the mystery. Supposedly she got herself in great shape over the summer, but I didn't see it. Supposedly her 4 years experience playing well against good teams was going to help her at UCONN. We have to give her time, but I was disappointed with what I saw. Months of unofficial practice and at least a month of official practice - she has a long way to go. I sure hope she gets it! [/QUOTE]
