Who would u pick?

how about amari?

there is real size for you. we don't know if jana would be better.
 
It seems the choice between Azzi, Aubrey and Yana wit each choice coming with real good reasons (Azzi-shooting, Aubrey-Defense and Yana - size). I'll go with Aubrey because if we win against Duke, i don't see anyone on the current active roster that could handle Juju. Aubre should have been able to provide some good defense on her.

Just wondering if the folks picking Jana Are the same folks who last year said “ if we only had Ice”.
For me it would be between Azzi and Aubrey. Aubrey would make more sense for front court help. But I just love thinking about Paige at the 1 with Azzi and Shade at the 2 and 3. Please don’t ask who plays the 4 here cause I don’t know

How about Nika at the 1, Azzi at the 2 & 3, and Paige at the 4 (plus obviously Aaliyah at the 5). Azzi before her injury last year was looking like a superstar.

We also saw Iowa get blown out 102-85 by LSU in the NCAA final. LSU was the best team last year, and they did not have any critical injuries like UConn did.

Was LSU the best team? And getting to the Finals is a bad thing? And a lneup with Paige and Azzi do you believe is the same as last year's Iowa with Aaliyah on UCON as well?
 
They need help with rebounding so even though she's up and down offensively I'd go with Aubrey..You don't know what your getting with Jana..6'5 means nothing ..remember we had 6'6 on the bench all year

This is a great hypothetical. I very much look forward to Jana's delayed career at UConn, but you don't know what you have yet...and bigs often take longer to develop. As much as I would like another shooter in Azzi, it's Aubrey all day for me. The superior athleticism, rebounding, slashing, defending wings and more proven than anyone else on the bench. I will take the proven performance vs. the higher ceiling.
 
Should have done this as a poll - seems like people are fairly evenly split between Jana, Azzi, and Aubrey. If 100% healthy, I'd have to lean towards Azzi. She was playing at an AA caliber level in the first 6 or so games last season. Jana is too much an unknown, and Aubrey is best at defense - capable of great offensive games, but too inconsistent, and prone to disappear as well.

If 100% healthy Azzi only, I think you start her and bring KK off the bench. Our 4 guards could be solid to outstanding 3 point shooters, and even if our "bad matchup" is against a long athletic team, draining bombs from 3 would negate that disadvantage. Just my $.02...
 
I could look at this three ways. Best player is Azzi, but not the biggest need. Aubrey is the player I think most likely to make a big difference, because she can play the 4 (and the 3) and is a proven excellent player, but in terms of who could (emphasis on could) make the biggest difference if she is what we hope, the answer is Jana.

If she looks like a future WNBA player for example, as someone who can play the 5 for 30 minutes/game she could make the biggest difference playing next to Aaliyah. Trouble is she is still an unknown. Might be a great answer to our shortage at C, but if she wound up at say Ice's level of production this year, then Aubrey would be the more significant addition.

Aubrey, and it’s not close!
Now if you had said for a whole season, I would probably say, Jana. For just the tourney, it’s clearly Aubrey.

No. I wasn't banging a drum for ice.

For that matter I put very little stock in any player who isn't on the team. I really don't care until they arrive on campus.

I watched Jana's enthusiasm on the bench during her first year. And was looking forward to seeing what would develop this year.

Leading up to this year I seem to remember Geno, (you might know him as a really great coach) was excited about what Jana was bringing to the program.

I watched every game she played in the tournament overseas and was watching when she went down.

Jana's team, among many shortcomings really lacked the ability to get her the ball in the post.

I don't think her team would have won a single game without her.

I think Jana was still the highest scoring player in the tournament. Playing fewer games.

Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing what Jana brings to our team this time next year.

My math probably isn't correct but by the time next season rolls around Jana will have been with the team 1 1/2 season and 2 summers.
 
IF we could get the Jana that all the hype videos and stories say she is/was before her injury, AND it translated into D1 WBB at the same relative level (I.e.contending for FOY) then we need the BIG. Otherwise, we could use the healthy Azzi... She would open up so much more of the offense and make defenses cover more than Paige... But then again, IF. Ash continues to be CASH...then we go back to the big.

In other words, I want Jana AND Azzi.
 
Hmmm...I think for right now, I'd go with Aubrey, Caroline a close second. We have outside shooting right now, and while a big would be sweet, the explosiveness of Aubrey would be most helpful, and Caroline's versatile game would be most appreciated.

Here's another question that Coach kinda brought up in his post game interview. If the injured players were all 100% healthy and could practice together for like a month....who would win...our team we have now or Azzi, Caroline, Aubrey, Ayanna, Jana and Amari?

Paige's team. Too much ball pressure they would create. :)
