Message: [QUOTE="RPM101370, post: 3675589, member: 410"] I have so many thoughts on this. First and foremost, I love Megan, was thrilled when she chose Uconn, and I enjoyed watching her for three years. After her "disappointing" freshman season there was a lot of chatter about her transferring but to her credit she she stuck it out. Lord knows her life would probably have been "easier" somewhere else. I know a lot of us have this feeling that her time at UConn was a "disappointment, didn't live up to the hype" and "didn't work out the way anyone had planned" BUT... we need to remember that Megan was a First-Team All American as a JUNIOR. That is a pretty special accomplishment in and of itself, and add to that she was undersized and playing out of position due to Uconn's lack of recruiting talented size. Megan will be on the wall with the rest of the UConn legends. As for the WNBA, a quick look at her stats shows she had minimal minutes and shot abysmally (6-43 from three or 14%, ouch!). Not good by any standard. For me the minutes are the most surprising considering how depleted the Liberty roster is. I wonder how much better Megan's stats would look with a true alpha like Ionescu on the floor to (a) draw attention away from Megan and (b) deliver great passes to Megan in her comfort spots so she could just catch and shoot. Megan showed at UConn that she is a great 3-point shooter. So TLDR, I'd say cut the kid some slack. She gave her all at UConn and owes us nothing as fans for grabbing her dream when it was available to be grabbed. Her rookie season in the W was forgettable, but there are just so many extenuating circumstances (COVID, bubble, depleted roster, adjustment to a faster game against bigger players, etc.) that make it impossible to get a true gauge of the future. The talent and willingness to work hard are there. Let's see how she does and always support her as one of our own. [/QUOTE]
