Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2916720, member: 7511"] OK, so here’s the answer to your question. This year the starting 5 looks pretty well set with the 3 you mention plus sophomore Megan Walker and freshman Christyn Williams. Megan likely fills Gabby Williams spot on offense and defense and Christyn fills Kia Nurse's spot. Not much help off the bench so far. Hopefully, that changes soon. While the zone/motion offense concepts will still be part of UConn's offensive philosophy, Geno has suggested that he is making changes to the offense this year that will take some time. Specifically, he has suggested that UConn may start taking the first open shot, as opposed to working the ball for the best shot. We'll see how that works out Hard to predict next years starting 5. Lou and Pheesa graduate :(, but Crystal, Megan and Christyn all come back :). After that, current freshman Olivia Nelson-Ododa and sophomore Mikayla Coombs would be the best bets on the current team to fill the starting 5, but UConn should be getting decisions from the #1 and #3 recruits in the country by early next week: Haley Jones & Aliyah Boston. They both played on the Under 17 World Championship team this past summer and both made the all-tournament team. Assuming that they decide to come to UConn, either one could start next year for the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
