Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4058397, member: 730"] In addition, UConn grads seem to be better prepared for the WNBA than others. Every year I read at least one WNBA coach saying how well UConn players understand what an intense practice involves. They are also better tuned to the speed of play that they encounter in the W. When Mercedes Russell was entering her senior season a lot of Vol fans were posting the same comments as UConn fans are posting about ONO. Not physical enough, unreliable midrange shot, etc. She played her best season by far as a senior. Even so, it took Russell a few seasons before she started to be a factor in the W. My guess is that rising seniors with pro ambitions wake up to the fact that they need to earn a living soon and that they are auditioning for jobs. All 3 UConn seniors (and maybe 4) will be 1st round picks. [/QUOTE]
