Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2099519, member: 1131"] I think "far more talented" is a sweeping judgment to make about a player who has not played a minute in college vs. a player whose college minutes have been so limited that it is hard to judge her "talent". From what I have seen, Molly Bent's limitations are not physical but mental -- getting into an offensive mindset that involves she herself taking more shots, and making better decisions with the ball. Andi (I just checked) is ranked 37th by Hoopgurlz. That makes it unlikely that she will remind us of Crystal, Moriah, or KML. I doubt that she will even remind us of Mikayla Coombs. Apparently her level of high school competition has been less challenging than other UConn recruits, so we really don't know how well she will function in college at the mental level. Sadie Edwards was probably more talented than Molly, but she didn't last very long. Courtney Ekmark's high school ranking was similar to Andi's, but (IMHO) her athletic talent was and is considerably less than Molly's. And Andi will be a freshman to whom the whole UConn thing is new, while Molly will be a sophomore who knows exactly what to expect. I wouldn't bet the ranch on Andi beating out Molly for playing time next year. [/QUOTE]
