Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5010642, member: 3535"] We have 3 number 1 H/S picks the last 5 years. Azzi is projected to be healthy. We had KK being the pg and yet possibly Chen is better. What teams have a better starting crew considering if Azzi was healthy (she matched Clark when healthy - and Sarah lives up ot her billing and Jana lives up to Geno's billing) - even if not all 4 connect but "just 3" - who would have our starting group? What if three connect to their billing in which we saw for example Azzi match Clark and she is one of the 3 along with Paige just being better? So why do you feel it's better having our positional number 1 recruits sit on the bench more than they otherwise would - for examplePiage arguably teh #1 wcbb in the country? And you're cetain 8/9/10/11 players are going to wear out an elite team with a ton of talent if they only go 8? Because who says they have to play 10? Their 1-8 palyers will have chances to go at players 9-11 on UCONN. And also, in pressure you are being aggressive thus you are morre apt to foul. Fouling slows down the game - making it harder to wear the other team out. And UCONN can't do this for 30+ minutes a game for most of the season-- to many teams they would embarass. So, if you can't pracitce in games as much -- how overall effecitve do you think it will be vs other super athletes and excellent coaches and excellent talent on other elite teams? And why wouldn;t you want Paige and Azzi for exmaple playing against the other's team's bench? There is far greater separation with that than our bench vs theirs. [/QUOTE]
