Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 5294787, member: 11281"] I did not comment on Jana's skill set on offense earlier because the fundamentals are sound. The issue is confidence, to feel the time space she has available to execute what she wants to do in order to score and not feel rushed to do everything just right......once that sense of time expands for her in game situations in a UConn uniform, the fluidity with which she has done those same things even under pressure in representing Egypt will begin to show itself. The sophomore season will help..... BTW, I always thought Ice was suffering from the same kind of pressure...always looking a little bit rushed....but her promise of greater levels of performance was demonstrated when she had to deliver as the last big in the Big East tournament her freshman year. The skill set on both sides of the ball are there but she still hasn't reached an "intuitive just play level" when she is on the floor. That tournament performance shows that she is more than capable of it. I am looking forward to both showing more growth this year, even under conditions when Coach G decided to fill his roster much more than ever before because of so many injuries these past several years.
