Message: [QUOTE="Majic Hands, post: 5114847, member: 8345"] The reasons I watch UConn is the vision of excellence from Geno and CD and the development of the players over their careers at UConn. I was expecting to see Jana and Ice as the starters out front to begin this season because. . . 1: Jana watching on the sidelines for almost a whole season, and she’s practicing with the team, watching her in FIBA where she suffered the injury. Watching another season from the sidelines but having ample time for recovery before the next season started. 2: Ice watching from the sidelines for a season, then last season she as she got stronger and began to figure it out by the end of the season stepping up when Ashleigh wasn’t available. This season she showed up physically fit and ready to get busy. I don’t pay attention to potential Player in HS. I start paying attention when they show up on campus. Holly Cow! I get why Geno is starting Ice and Sarah and bringing Jana off the bench. Ice is a year of playing time ahead of Jana. Jana is so excited she’s loosing her mind. Sarah. Sarah has to be on the floor from the get go with Geno talking AA and I suspect that the coaching staff is putting her right into pressure situation of starting because they think she will grow with pressure. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a group at the beginning of the year that have impressed me as much as this group of kids. I’m so looking forward for each game to see the tweaks the coaches make and how the kids develop. As far as the talent still in recovery from injuries. . . I’m not expecting any of them to come in and be starters very quickly. I don’t think there will be a “pressing” need and I suspect they will have minute restrictions anyway. I also think that the longer they’re out the further behind on chemistry with the team. I’m hoping for Azzi to be playing her best basketball at UConn by tournament time and to be a lot better next year. Gotta admit I enjoy pretty basketball! [/QUOTE]
