Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4139493, member: 7492"] LetterL brings up an interesting point on Cunnane and expecting a breakout game that while I am not as close to this team as he is, I have watched them 3 times this year and quite a bit the last 3 years since Cunnane came on the scene. My view is the team is built more as a team now and not reliant on Elisa to do “everything” so she hasn’t been asked to score more as the ball doesn’t got to her as often as in the past. The other point is other teams make a point to try to shut her opportunities down as much as possible. The last point is this years OOC is significantly better that past years so the opponents defense and the fact these top teams have players as tall and as skilled as Elisa can limit her. I do expect her to show more dominance in the ACC but I am not convinced she is a first team AA at this point as there are too many other talented bigs on the list. She is on the periphery of the 10 member team but not sure she will ever achieve that “breakout” star aspect. She’s very, very good just not in the Aaliyah Boston category and has both Brink and Angel Reese coming on fast. There’s also Naz Hillman, Ny Smith all playing well. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
