Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 4098040, member: 5089"] More detailed comments from Geno on the new recruits: [I]Brady told The Courant recently that, since committing, she has become a much stronger player and has tried to establish herself as a more versatile threat who can play out on the perimeter. Auriemma has noticed.[/I] [I]“Big kids that can pass, shoot the ball a little bit, handle themselves all over the court, pretty much are very rare to find, unless you go to volleyball practice. That’s that’s where usually all the big kids that used to play basketball are these days,” he said. “So when you find somebody like that, you just kind of hope that each year they get better and better and better. And she has. Our offense really is predicated on big kids that can move, catch, pass, shoot it, dribble it, and I think she fits that mold.[/I] [I]“She’s a big body, tough kid. I mean, as tough as a kid from California can be.” ... Meanwhile, Patterson’s athleticism is, according to evaluators, perhaps the best in her class, helping give her a high pro projection. Auriemma and staff can help polish the rest of her game, but he thinks her impact could be felt even sooner on the defensive end and on the glass.[/I] [I]“It’s hard to really project because every time she plays, she’s double- and triple-teamed. So you say to yourself, ‘How will she do when she’s not?’ And that’s what I’m thinking,” he said. “She has a great stroke. She is not consistent enough with it, so that’s going to be a big point [when she gets here] because if she does that, then obviously she can help us a ton. “And I think defensively and around the rim because of her athletic ability, I think she’ll be able to [help]. Anytime you can get from here to there quickly and can get from here [down] to there [up] quickly, you have a chance to contribute. And she can do that.”[/I] [RIGHT][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-recruits-2022-20211113-20211112-snmnudu5rbdoxbq5azqfl74xri-story.html[/URL] r[/RIGHT] [/QUOTE]
