Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3425645, member: 26"] There are several other UCONN transfers (besides Ekmark who you mentioned) who have done well at their new schools: [LIST] [*]Michala Johnson was a starter and contributor when she transferred to Wisconsin to be closer to home (and I think her sister played for Wisconsin). [*]Sadie Edwards was a starter and big scorer for USC after transferring there. [*]Gordon is getting tons of minutes at TTU and is usually a starter. [*]Boykin has had a lackluster career - went from UCONN to Penn State to WVU, where she's sitting out this season due to transfer rules. [*]Mikayla Coombs went to Georgia and is sitting out this year due to transfer rules. [/LIST] The point I'm making is that UCONN is historically the best program in WCBB history. We are usually at, or near, the top of the polls every year. That means Geno recruits really good players who play at a high level. Kids who are 2nd tier seem to transfer out at a high rate. Kids who are 3rd tier (Bent, Irwin, Gardler, Fernandez, Williams (Tahirah), Kerns, Buck, Fernandez, etc.) seem to thrive at UCONN and don't mind playing at the end of games, or getting more PT in blowouts. I am NOT speculating on transfers, but it will be interesting to see how McLean, Gabriel, and Muhl fit in. I see Bueckers and Edwards as top tier players (i.e. starters at some point during their UCONN careers). We know Gabriel is a huge project, McLean is gifted with athleticism but possibly lacks basketball skills, and Muhl is largely unknown (is she more Makurat or Bent?). Getting back to AEH - she was a 2nd tier player. At a top 10 program like Mississippi State (or had she remaineid at UCONN), I'm not surprised she's struggling for minutes - put her at Ole Miss and she'd be a starter lighting up the scoreboard. For all her "this is where I was meant to be", it appears she missed a bit on judging how much of an impact she would/could have. [/QUOTE]
