Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4955661, member: 3535"] I'm much more of an optimist that you are in regard to Ice and Sarah. But Like you Iam optimsitic for this team. :) IMO Sarah will be terrific as a result imo she will start. Just as we saw this year by putting Paige at the 4; always focus on the player rather than the position. Sarah is probably elite. So start her at the 4. She is better than Ice or Jana. And with Ice- I think she'd be amazing with Sarah. Just as we saw with Paige at times she low posted inside vs the smaller guards even though she was a "pf." Sarah is not going to be just an outside scorer. There will be offensive sets or situations or matchups in which the center will be guarding Brady in which you put Brady at the high post so you can use Sarah down low. OFc not all the time but Genos offense isn't so only player dominant. It's fluid and he wants all his players to grow. The more they grow/expand their gmes the harder UCONN is to stop. IMO by the threat of at times still low posting Sarah- and yes even Paige at times (and ofc Paige is the pg in which she can also low post at times)—this is how you overwhelm even good teams because you can’t defend all the threats from everywhere. And Sarah is big-tiem threat on teh inside too. It can't be juts "talk." You have to use here there at times for her to be an inside-outside threat. For example, if a team tries to put a quicker player Sarah so they deny a bit on the outside but she doesn’t have the bulk, then why would UCONN not have Brady in as a shooter to pull the opposing center away thereby punishing the opposing player defednign Sarah in the paint? It could be much harder for a defense/quick but not that strong to deny a stonger bulkier player to get the ball in the paint vs denying her the ball in a motion offense.:) [/QUOTE]
