Just kidding, but his title doesn't line up with the facts or his own article. If we are lucky enough to get another Lou I'll be over the moon. It's been suggested that Kaitlyn competed in the harder league and we should see that on the court. If the Ivy League is genuinely tougher than the MAAC I'd be surprised. Most of the Ivy is simply uncompetitive. Then there is the fact that Lou, as a foriegn, unranked player was settling for Fairfield, an excellent MAAC program and she exploded as a player in the MAAC. No explosion at Princeton that I am aware of, though Kaitlyn will be a worthy addition at UConn. The most interesting piece of Dan's article for me was: Since Chen only has one year at UConn, there’s only so much for development. Instead, Auriemma is simply embracing who she is as a player — which means accepting all the good (and bad) that comes with that . “We're trying to just play to her strengths, more than anything… [B]There's a lot of things that she did that I'm sure drove Carla nuts, too. I can see what they are already,” Auriemma said. “But I don't have her for four years. I'm renting her.”[/B] [/QUOTE]
