Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2677985, member: 8501"] Lots of good points! And obviously you know your U Conn basketball! But there's a clear contradiction in your post! CW is needed to fill a position - the off guard. MW even if she improves as much as many of you expect, is not a guard! I think CW will become a special player but agree that it takes time and doesn't happen overnight. I loved DT from the first moment I saw her and still do! Can't argue with that point about an incoming freshman, but if she's even close to DT, WOW! I think MW might become a very good player, surely not a bust. Don't see her as a star of the team but a very good complimentary piece, maybe comparable to Kia. If she gets to that lofty level, that will say a lot, but will take a huge amount of work and development. Why is it that many have to describe something as all or nothing? Almost all except for the DT's, MM's and Stewie are as close as can be to all. And very few that join U Conn women's BB are nothing. Kayla and Molly are important support players even if they will never be stars. They bring so much with their effort, attitude,support of and for their teammates plus their own skill set, that they influence things even if they play very little. The best team always needs quality players but the team with the best players, especially if there are too many of them, many times doesn't win! It's a team game and especially at a program like U Conn, one must play within themselves and their role. The role is not given to you because you were HS NPOY. You must earn it and that's always a process not a moment! Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
