Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5071646, member: 12088"] As before, I'm mostly in agreement with you. But I think they could "miss a beat" without Ashlyn, in the sense that they are still likely to win the NC but perhaps without another undefeated season. I mean, Ashlyn is arguably their best player. Even if you have a deep bench, as Dawn certainly does, that sort of loss 'leaves a mark.' Take it from a UConn fan, a loss like this takes a toll on a team, even if they overcome it. By the way, she may be arguably the best player -- which is why I really hope this blows over and she doesn't lose this season, since a fully functioning SC team is wonderful to watch -- but my favorite player is Tessa. She may not be the core of the team yet, but I suspect she will be soon. I watched a bunch of her HS games, and that's exactly who she was then, even as a freshman. She was the steal of that recruiting year. [/QUOTE]
