Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4059695, member: 9844"] Too much firepower is great, but how often and how it is used is still up in the air. I think the roster presents Geno with the ability to put pretty much any skillset on the floor. With this years addition of shooters, and last year bringing in much passing, having defenders, rebounders, and even a number of talented bigs, the ability to adjust for the opponent is probably better than it has been in a long long time. I know we should be significantly better, but to be way better the additions need to take significant playing time from the incumbents. If we are still playing Liv, Evina, and Christyn similar minutes, we will be somewhat better because we can confidently play talented players at 8-10 players deep. That by itself is not a quantum leap, however, particularly when you realize our very talented "third teamers" likely won't be relevant in big games until there is an injury. Some of that "too much" firepower doesn't get used. If some of the seniors lose significant playing time because say Azzi, Aaliyah, Dorka or maybe Caroline clearly beat them out, then that is a big leap forward. At least by Uconn's exceptionally high standards, the seniors are good not great players. Even with as good a bench as Uconn has maybe ever had, the ceiling of this team with the seniors getting major major minutes, falls a little short of Uconn's best teams ever IMO. But some of the players on this roster have the ability to improve on players that are already good. [/QUOTE]
