Dawn, back in the day when UConn was fully healthy, described UConn’s play as the “machine”. With practice-perfected play, now with Kaitlyn enabling 10-player practices, Geno might have the machine of old roaring back again.
To amplify your points:
Just for fun, here’s UConn’s players who can play in the post # (compare to SC’s bigs ##):
# Morgan (6’2), Sarah (6’2), Jana (6’5), Ice (6’3), [Yanna (6’2)], [Aubrey (6’1)]. As a group, only 3 have D1 experience.
## Kitts (6’2), Edwards (6’3), Watkins (6’3), Feagin (6’3), Tac (6’5), Walker (6’4). As a group, only 3 have D1 experience.
and here’s UConn 2024 team @ compared to the 1999 team @@:
