Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 5130854, member: 730"] Brady struggled last season coming off injury. El Alfy is coming off injury this season and some are just as impatiently unhappy with her play as they were with Brady last year. It's more than 2 or 3 inches difference. ElAlfy isn't just tall like ONO, she's wide and strong. A mountain. She has soft hands and runs the floor better than what I saw from Betts. She is also adapting to US officiating. Right now, if Geno started El Alfy, we'd see a repeat of Dolson's freshman (and sophomore) seasons where it seemed she picked up 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes game after game and sat a great deal. But Geno didn't want to mess with her aggressive attitude. She would miss a shot and then foul the player who got the rebound with a stupid reach-around foul. I think El Alfy is much better than Dolson was as a freshman. And having El Alfy in the 4th period against Miss was huge. The Miss. inside players couldn't move her. UConn hasn't had one of that type in a long time. She, Brady and Strong along with Malou-Mamel will dominate the paint for UConn for at least another 2 years. Instead of listing her flaws I want to kiss the ground that she is at UConn. [/QUOTE]
