Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2049776, member: 6819"] The baseball player Joe Morgan was once asked on air about prospects and their potential. He said, and I paraphrase, "I don't care about prospects or potential. I care about players". In lieu of sounding repetitive, was is, is. What ain't, ain't. IF the starting 5 you've mention played as a cohesive team, and IF the players on the bench bought into a well executed share the ball mentality and IF that team could remain healthy and IF Turner played like the AA she should be, yeah. Yeah, they could be as good as any team not named UConn or Baylor. That's a lot of "ifs". That potential is probably what makes Muffet's head spin at night. But I don't truck much with potential. I've watched an undermanned UConn team play game after game at a high level this year. Last game I watched a hobbled Nurse, an ineffective Lou and a foul challenged Collier still contribute to a double digit victory over a determined USC team. ND may yet (hopefully) turn the corner, and maybe it will take at Dallas. With this squad as it's currently composed however, I ain't a believer. [/QUOTE]
