Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3654988, member: 3535"] I think you are wrong. You can never have enough "superstars." And Fudd is going to be a superstar. And I think your comment of "too guard heavy" is highly flawed. These past two years I agree with you in that they were way too small/ and/or inexperienced. But prior to that it's been the poor guard play vs Miss State and ND as well. They were outscored 35-22 from the wing/pg positions vs Miss Sate and 66-34 vs ND. You need both. If you don't have both of equal balance then you have to win at one spot and hold the fort at the other. With Fudd- you give your team a greater chance of overcoming your size issue. But you can't assume which you are trying to do "UCONN is too guard-heavy." You can never assume you have enough. We were supposed ot have superior wing/pg play vs both Miss State and ND -- and instead UCONN got beaten decisively. Katie Lou played pretty well but the other guards Nurse and Danger did not. They were never all-americans. Get super guard play you can overcome the team with better post play if your guards perform near their level. Our guards did not perform near their level in those 2 years. Did they? SO you dodn't think superstar all-americans will perform well? If UCONN gets Fudd for 21-22 season -- UCONN is the team to beat-- not South Carolina or Stanford. You are vastly overrating Boston. She shot about 44% vs players her age in the U17 Tourney. She's not WIlt Chamberlain. I just will never agree with you or any other poster that thinks it i possible to be "too guard heavy" when you have two potential superstar guards and by the time Fudd comes - if chooses UCONN- they will have a senior in Liv, among other players. You know teams play zone and double team too. You think the Jr Boston is going to be perfect passing out of a zone vs the most elite team she has faced at the other end? She'l be a junior. She won't be "Wilt." [/QUOTE]
