Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5197531, member: 13341"] Interesting point and I somewhat agree with you. It's good for the game though that stars are spread around to 7-16 teams now. More big games, and the much awaited quick growth in TV. The ghost of the UConn uniform showed up in Columbia today, however, to perplex Dawn and quiet 18,000.:D Geno still managed to recruit amazingly well in the tougher market. The whole Paige era has been plagued by injury. Even today we had 4 injured from the full roster! We were just fortunate that the 2 recent injuries don't really limit the team, as we have other comparable players at those spots. SC on the other hand is only dealing with 1 injury, but it was a big one. Not from a scoring standpoint, but from a post defense, rebounding, intimidation, enforcer standpoint, Watson was missed in the frontcourt. UConn also has an amazing core coming back for next 2 seasons. KK, Ash, Morgan, Allie, Sarah, Ice and Jana are not flashy, but they are all solid players providing many strategic options. It's also easy to integrate an Azzi, Caroline, a transfer, or freshman star with this kind of unselfish group. The ghost of the uniform, and Geno/Chris are not done yet. [/QUOTE]
