Who’s going to be our back up PG next year?

[Linart]

Now that Nurse is gone we’re going to need a back up point guard and I don’t see anyone else on our roster who can handle the point right now. I just don’t see Molly as being able to do it well. Any ideas?

Could have been Andra Espinoza Hunter, but she is now MSS bound

AEH is not a PG.

I don't know that UConn even needs a specific back up point guard as the play "positionless" ball......... AEH is not really a point guard but if you think she could have done it then Christyn Williams surely can.............if Coombs is still around perhaps she'll be given 4-5 minutes a game...............

Perhaps Geno and Staff will work this out?

We don’t have one nor need one. Kia wasn’t a PG and did fine. MW & CW can handle the ball if needed. It’s not hard to dribble the ball up the court, we just won’t have someone to create shots so will rely on offensive sets unless Lou or Pheesa develop their handle this offseason.

Walker would get shredded trying to be a ball-handler against any kind of decent pressure. Nor would Geno want her initiating offense.

So long as Coombs is healthy, she will be Crystal’s backup. While Mikayla’s shot is a little funky, she has a good handle and plays solid defense.

Wasn’t Kia the point guard for the Canadian National team?

I think Coombs will surprise you next year, if she bounces back from injury....

CW looks like the type of combo guard Huskies haven't had since well you know who... ? I hope Geno puts her right into the lineup and lets her play, unless of course she is just terrible defensively.

 

[Go/huskies]

I agree with some of the points made above, Walker isn’t a ball handling guard, that’s why I see her as more of a back up for both forward position next year. And Williams is the type of guard Uconn hasn’t had in a long long time, someone who can create for herself and her teammates, Jefferson was close, but she wasn’t a big time scorer.

Who will start and who will come off the bench next year?

I dont know if you can say walker cant dribble the ball she never had to and i think she will for sure start next year;she has talent we havnt begun too see,

Having seen her with the US amateur teams and during AAU ball, I feel confident in saying ball-handling is way down the list of Megan Walker's strengths.

 

[Gus Mahler]

I certainly hope it's Mikayla. Recall Geno said last fall something to the effect that the sky's the limit for her.

I'm not a doctor and have not played one on TV, but I am under the impression that a blood clot like this is something you can recover completely from.

We need a backup GUARD, one that can play defense. Don't see anyone currently that fills this role.

Thank you- Perhaps we should trust The coaches’ judgement in recruiting a top player who has skill and athleticism, who struggled through freshman year, but will probably make a leap over the summer and return a good player. I mean, remember Crystal?

Let's be honest the only locks for next year are the 2 forwards
