Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4311407, member: 9844"] I think she is a possibility, but more as a form of insurance. Carnac and others have mentioned how much uncertainty there is regarding next year's bigs. That is certainly true, I think we need 4 of our 6 bigs to be playable at a high level in big games. Since all six are talented enough to be part of a rotation I like our odds. Say two from Aubrey, Amari, Ice and Ayanna to join Dorka and Alliyah. Aubrey might not play at all, who knows if Amari will take a big step forward, and Ice and Ayanna are freshmen. Then we have a season like this last one, where for a few games we did not have any backup guards because of injuries, and you could make a case for another big that you don't anticipate using, but in a worst case scenario would be ok if needed. Kiser could fill that role if she was OK with it. Not much chance to be in the rotation unless several things go wrong, but she might just enjoy being part of the Uconn program for a year. I imagine if she was a high school senior looking at a real long-shot for playing time she wouldn't be interested in us, but a grad transfer could have a different prospective. Regardless the domestic transfers that could have potentially been difference makers, or a threat to our known bigs have all been spoken for. So with what's left domestically an insurance type player is all we can get, if we want that at all. I don't have a clue about foreign players, there could be some very good ones there that are possibilities. [/QUOTE]
