Three stories

[Inthepaint]

15 Huskies
So many things to look for , so many things to provoke one’s curiosity
Here are my three
Feel free to suggest your own
1) KK Arnold
Will she be able to channel that exuberance into the role of starting point guard?
Don’t want to mess with the whole disruptive package she brings to the floor.
In her junior year, can she augment that with some clever maturity and be one of the leaders we need?
2) Jana El Alfy
As Kara Wolters always pointed out, bigs take longer to develop and make the mental connections required to be A PRESENCE on the court.
Jana looked like she had turned the corner and started to establish herself.
In a roster stocked with post players, will she rise to the challenge of being the power in the paint, and the glass cleaner
3) Caroline Ducharme
We know the long, hard road she’s had to travel.
We also saw what she’s capable of when she’s 100%.
Now a senior and something of a role model & teacher, how will the wisdom & patience manifest itself?
Will she force Geno’s hand by being the glue that holds an extremely talented bunch of athletes together when crunch time comes?
Will Caroline stay healthy enough to earn the minutes and trust needed to make the difference?
Not the only stories waiting to happen.
Just abstart

Yo--InthePaint
I like the Jana and Caroline stories since we don't know their true potential for a 'great season." KK has already shown me her "talent. We know quite a bit about "KK". Most of us do.
My story to add as the third episode of next season's drama series---"The Mystery of Bianca."
A fourth story would be "Big Girl Battles" - -focus more on the practice seasons.

That would be mine. I would substitute number two for how will Azzi Fudd adapt to being the number one player to stop on opposing teams scouting reports?

(For the record, there may be some growing pains here or there, but I think she'll do just fine. Last year's championship run showed that she can excel in the spotlight.

While I agree Azzi will be a focus for opposing coaching staffs, I’m not sure she will be the #1 focus. I see Sarah as being the one I would focus on first. I think we’re about to see the whole package from Ms Strong! Let’s face it though, having two players like Azzi and Sarah on a team as talented and deep as the Huskies is going to make for a lot of long nights for a lot of coaching staffs!

Sticking to the theme of the thread, here are my top 3 stories put in question form:

1) How will Serah flourish on a team with two point guards, KK and Kayleigh, who can get her the ball in the right place at the right time? Will she be the third AA on this team?

2) Will Blanca adjust quickly to the defense and speed of the American game and the culture at UCONN? Will she become that vaunted X factor that makes us just ridiculous as a team?

3) What will the team chemistry be like with 15 players? What combos will Geno run? Who will be the leaders on and off the court?

Three things! I believe that KK will start. She will be her usual pest while on the floor. With so many players on the team and a low life league she is only going to play 20 minutes a game.

Post minutes are going to be consumed by four players as we know in this order Serah, Sarah, Jana and Ice. The best offense last year was the four guards and Sarah. Geno will not steer to far from what made the team run and score.

Azzi and Sarah will both average 18 to 20 points per game. Most of our scoring will be coming from our guards. They will be fun to watch. Ashlynn, Kayleigh, Caroline are going to will be on the floor often. Blanca is an X factor. Still to be determined.
