Message: [QUOTE="PAHuskeyFan, post: 2690468, member: 7880"] Frankly I have to agree... although this is contrary to "normal" operations for UConn WBB. Geno and Staff know there are areas that could/should be helped; thus they entertained Howard and Williams for a visit. The departures of Z (unexpected) and AEH (??) add two unplanned "holes" on the roster and opened scholarships for next season. We're not going to get any additional Top HS players for next season,... and I haven't heard about any JUCO transfers seeking out UConn or that UConn is considering. If a short gap "hired guns," as some call these two potential transfers, can help ... then why not [I]take a shot[/I]. If we were certain that last year's bench could fill the holes left by the departures of Gabby, Kia and Z... then no need to have Howard and Williams make the trip. BUT, by all BYer's accounts and by minutes played last year, there doesn't seem to be any remedies on the current roster, except MW, potentially BC and Coombs, with KI and MB for spot relief. [B] IMHO[/B] if Howard and/or Williams come to UConn, the Huskies get 2 players with proven WCBB level experience...they take crash course on UConn's offense/defense/philosophies and the chances for a long run toward the NC increase significantly. :) [/QUOTE]
