Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2789599, member: 5798"] Tiff was not the "franchise" player that A'ja Wilson or Breanna Stewart" was perceived to be coming into the league, but she has improved on the skills and understanding she brought with her from college. There have been numerous players that can be named here, Brittany Sykes, Courtney Williams and Ariel Atkins come to mind. None were perceived as high profile players coming in, but all three made the cut, and have managed to work their way into the starting lineup. Hayes has been playing in the shadow of Angel McCaughtry since her rookie season. Last season when McCaughtry took the year off, Tiff took advantage of the opportunity to step up, became a leader and the team's leading scorer. Tiff continues to perpetuate the rich and proud tradition of the UConn Women's Basketball Program. She epitomizes the finished product the program has become known for on and off the court. [/QUOTE]
