Ya think Jana getting into this tourney winning?

Jana 1.0, and what she becomes will only be limited by her own talent. I think Geno prizes playing within your abilities, which is why he keeps trying to expand them in practices.

uconnfan68 - it is so true--we are limited by our own talent. The dilemma is (on paper) Jana is considered MULTI-talented. Which of those talents will be recognized by Geno and which ones will be focused on FIRST. As uconn fan stated, Geno tries to expand everyone's abilities
in practice. Does Jana get on the floor first as a Big, as a point forward (Stewie style), or some UConn combination that Geno and Coach Dailey dreamed up during these last-- almost 40 years. I am having fun just thinking about it. IMHO, on paper, Jana will jump to the front of the line to get playing time. Starter-that's pushing it. First sub -- could be! If Jana has a nice inside fake and fade away left hook like Dorka has and she can rebound a bit or she can do her own "Stewie thing" . If she can produce like Caroline did as a freshman then she will get time. But remember what some smart man said about POTENTIAL--"It means you HAVE NOT done anything yet." I think she can walk the walk!! We shall see.

Everything all of you said about Jana, getting into the swing of things, learning as shes watching, getting the UCONN spirit and absorbing how important she will be and focused she will need to be next year...all that goes for Ice as well. Ice is getting the same infusion into the UCONN mystique.

I think both Ice and Jana will be great additions next year, my only concern about where Ice plays is my thought that she is shorter than I thought she was. Just going by shots of her standing next to teammates, it seems to me that she is closer to 6'2' than 6'3"+ , whereas Jana seems to be a legit 6'4". I guess Morrow of DePaul has shown that 6'1" - 6'2" works if you have all the other traits and skills required.

If we can keep Jana, AP, Ice and Liyah healthy next year we should be unbeatable with the group of 1-3 players (Nika, Paige, Azzi, CD, KK, AS, Ines and hopefully Aubrey) who will be fighting for playing time.
