Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4955937, member: 3535"] Gotcha. I'm going to try to tie both in and would like your opinion? I have a few questions. I believe Sarah Strong has the potential to be extremely elite her freshman year regardless of the Offense she is put on. What it means getting Sarah Strong is that you have a potentially efficient scorer from all over the floor. With all this about Sarah, can she be a number 1 lead player this upcoming year? I say no. Which I believe everyone would agree with - Paige is. But the point I am making is that this relates to this past year. I didn’t expect them to win because I can't recall the last time a team had 4 new freshmen within their top 7 in which they were in the range of 3-7 best on their team - ever win a championship or get to Finals. The freshmen that won - that led their teams were all-time greats (was it Stewie and Chamique?). The point is—a freshman doesn't lead you to titles or Finals unless they are all time great. I named some all-time great freshman that led their team a title. Similarly, can you name a team with so many freshman as part of the core 3 of top 6 or 4 of top 7 that weren't super elite that won a title in recent years or gotten to the Finals? LSU had 3 prior All-Americans and an elite #1 recruit and they not only got wiped out but they only scored 74 points. This is from last year’s champion. So, why should UCONN need to score more than 70 points if they didn’t have the same firepower of LSU while being so young? To further that, do you really think Kim runs a more modern-day offense than Geno? And to further this, Geno probably not going to change. In regard to Sarah, you don’t think Sarah will be more efficient than any of the freshmen of the top 5 frosh from last year (and throw in Booker too)? Yet UCON was more successful than these teams this past year, so why the change especially if we outproduced a teams such as LSU who had even more experience and talent and won a title? [/QUOTE]
