You don't have to go back that far.
Griffin is a D1 ball player. Edsel was not a top level car. Ugly, ugly, ugly.
I hope it means something.

Who is Lucy Cochrane....any background would be appreciated?
If Lucy transfer to UConn does she have to sit for one year?
EUGENE — Oregon women’s basketball is losing another one of its freshman.
A wicked tall (6'6"ish) Aussie who played about 6-7 minutes a game for Oregon this past year who is in the transfer portal. Has potential but didn't put up great numbers though was boring on Oregon bench.....
Olivia is not going to to average 17 PPG. Tina Charles only reached 17 PPG once. Stefanie Dolson's highest average was 13.6 PPG.
Maybe. However, how other players performed has nothing to do with how Ono will perform. With the playmakers UConn will have, she may surprise you.
Is Jaz in the portal?
You could make the case that all UConn’s losses since the graduation of the Big 3 have come at the hands of top 10 teams with dominant front court size.
That case has already been made in our losses. I think the question is, Why are we making it hard on our ourselves? Can we win with less height? Yes - Geno & staff have done a good job of capitalizing on our strengths (quickness, offensive movement & passing, trapping defenses, etc), and masking our weaknesses many years, to win. But, more frontline height would sure make it easier. Do you think it was simply coincidence that Baylor's, Oregon's, Miss State, USC's ascension came with height included. In WCBB, trying to rebound or shoot over a 6'4" or taller (not to mention Griner or McCowan) center, is no easy feat. And, when there are a pair of those (6'3" or taller), on a front line, it's even tougher. And, if they happen to be fairly mobile, and can pass, watch out.
But that obscures the fact that since the graduation of the Big 3, UConn has beaten all of those teams frequently, with the exception of MS St. As teams have become more competitive, due to improved coaching, and top prospects choosing a greater variety of schools to attend, how many of the FF schools won without front court height, especially against Top 10 teams outside their conference? (I tend to weigh victories outside of conference play, especially away games, as a better indicator of a team's strength).
At the end of the day, while UCONN has done it time and again, why would any Basketball team (the object is to put the ball in a 10 Foot high basket) want to compete against a taller team.....when you don't have to?
I hope she does surprise me. Speaking of playmakers LIV is not a very good finisher. A good post finisher is in the 60% FG. Live is at 55%. Crystal was a very good playmaker.
I fixed it. My fat thumb. So you just spoke on her because she is an aussie like Cochrane?
I know exactly who but there is also that other trend we are not supposed to talk about. According to that trend UCONN WBB loses on average 1 player per year. You have also touch on the second trend of UCONN players leaving before eligibility is exhausted with your mention of Evina. Anna is WNBA eligible April of 22.Be careful what you wish for. Cochrane sounds like a good fit but if she comes that gets us to 14 for 2021-2022, assuming everyone including Westbrook is back for that season. I know that`s a big if, but we do need to save a spot for you know who.
