Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 1918448, member: 199"] I agree with everything except ... Uconn has an ability to get the right top talent. When you look at the true greats coming out of HS Uconn has gotten more than it's fair share, and unlike the men's game they get to keep them for four years. In the time that Baylor and TN got their one player (Griner and Parker) Uconn got three Moore, Stewart and EDD who they lost immediately. No other team has gotten one. (Maybe Stanford with Nneka?) And they surround those players with other #1 rated players or equivalents in Tina, KML, Moriah (technical #2 but behind Breanna so sort of a standard quality #1) and Lou, and filled in the blanks with high quality complementary players Rene, Morgan, Napheesa, Gabby, etc. Almost all the players Uconn gets match or exceed the expectations placed on them by the rating services, and that as you note is what is truly special, and still others completely blow lesser expectations out of the water [/QUOTE]
