    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    Yess - she or anyone else should be blamed. - And Sarah or any other player shouldn't be blamed one iota for waiting. This is one the biggest decsions of their life. There should never be ever an iota of blame thrown out oor a high school player or student etc making a decision late. It's their...

    Who would u pick?

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

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    I was civil. A kindergarten teacher is civil. What's wrong with that? Those teachers are very concnered over children. It meant being overly protective to Nika. Nika is capable. It's a bit of a slap in the face to her after all these years that she's being categorized in some manner as "Can't...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    IMO you're not only slamming the coach on something he has no business being slammed over - but secondly you’re treating Nika Muhl like she is a 6 year old. incapable of keeping her cool. That's so wrong. , You say "count to 10 . . . " I say stop acting like a Kindergarten teacher. Nika just...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    I think he did/does. He has Practices imo to show it. I'm just offering my opinion that in Pratctices the other Guards are probably better. If she were a center, she would probably play more. The problem is that she is mostly a PG in and there are 3 pg's ahead of her. UCONN has had some other...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    No. The best option is when you win. UCONN won. So how is what he did worng? If he pulls her for 2+ minutes that might be the difference in a loss. So where is teh msitake? It's just personal prefernce. So we are going to crticize him for not being abosultely perfect with NIka rather than just...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    And she may have "not shown." I suspect she hasn't. Aren';tyou always on board with Geno and what he speaks of in practices? Why assume the best coach in History is wrong? OFC you can crticize- and disagree with him - I'm just offering a view that I don't see the things many of you see in Ines...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    Don't agree with the entre context. 1-- Ice had two turnovers when Nika left. Before Nika left UCONN had enough ballhandlers. Generally when you lose your all-time assist leader vs a high pressure team and you replace her with a very young big - pressure is going to happen. But as you say the...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    It has nothing to do with her improvement if the other players are better and/or improved more. in which there remains a wide gap.

    Who would u pick?

    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?

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    How can you say "bailed them out" when she hst an open wide open shot? She hit a wide open shot. KK alsohits that shot. She has this year. Lok at teh stats- she has taken quite a few 3's this year. And yes we can agree to disagree. There were three players around Paige when she had the ball...

    Expectations

    The post you replied to called the seaosn disppointing if not winning it all. You seemd to agree with that. So the postgame I was just making a point that Geno didn't seem disappointed one bit. Not for this year. So when you repleid "many of us . . . " imo you are in an extreme minority for...

    Expectations

    This isn't true at all. Did you see Geno's postgame? See below. Does that sound like someone suggesting that it is championship or failure? Where do you get that from? Secondly, how often has Geno stated his Goals are to win the Reg Season Big East (or in the past the AAC). Then win the Big...

    Why is Ines nailed to the bench?

    It is beyond realistic for Geno to do this and imo your entire post shows extreme panic or an extreme micro-manager that trusts no one. First off, Geno is not going to treat Nika like a 6 year old. Some of you UCONN fans only want to look at things in such a negative light. even after wins -...

    Who would u pick?

    Assume the one palyer is 100% healthy. Then no doubt-- Azzi. Azzi outplayed or at least matched Clark last year when she was at her best. And she tore apart Vic Schaefer's Defense. We saw Iowa beat the massivley tall SC last year. I just saw small Creighton give much bigger UCLA fits, and...

    Player Updates

    I'm with Zan,. I'm starting Ash next year. Even if no Ash - but no Azzi. In regard to this thread and expected returns in regard to Azzi- we have heard 3 years she was healthy enough to play and yet she wound up getting hurt or was hurt quite a bit during the season. There is no way I'd have her...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    Just some oberservations on a couple of plays and the game overall, the ref, and the Color Commentator. Just my personal observation - people can agree or not. But the play Edwards got the Intentional foul - sort of a funny circumstance imo. Here is how I saw it: Initially JAX State- their...

    UConn vs Jackson State postgame thread

    I don't agree with the context of your post. I went to look back at Q3 that you refer to,. IMO the issue was when Edwards went out of the game picking up her 3rd foul. Up until that point there was complete domination. SO that was half the 3rd qtr. And what didn't help was about 1 minute or...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    I agree she will definitely help on rebounding and scoring inside. I recall some prior posts referring to Sarah Strong as more of a perimeter player. She is a complete player. She is not a Wing. A Wing implies a SF/SG. Sarah is a combo SF/PF- not a SG. Along with being an excellent 3pt shooter...

    Aaliyah is going to the WNBA

    IMO the 2nd half of her soph year she was terrfic.

    Easiest Path to the Final Four?

    The problem is I thought that last year. IMO with this current team - there is no "favorable draw" other than being out of SCarol region. Every game is probbaly tough from 32 on if they go on.

    UConn Recruiting Speculation 6

    I never said she was Maya though. My point was if Maya could look not-so-hot on one night - then anyone can. As far as comparison - imo Sarah vs Ice are very different. Sarah has playmaking skills. Ice isn't a playmaker for others. As far as game changer - that's subjective terminology. IMO...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation 6

    Several years ago on the Old ESPN Board - we all had gotten word that we could watch Maya Moore in one of her h/s games. In that game she didn't play very well. After that, we got a 2nd chance in a 2nd game they showed Maya and her team vs quality ranked H/S Team from Delaware - St Elizabeth top...

    Aaliyah update

    No -- I don't agree. Anyhow not important to keep discussing.

    Aaliyah update

    Where's the distinction of playing your last games for the seniors this year vs any other year prior to COVID? IMO you are inventing a situation that doesn't exist. So when we hear "a senior-laden team" prior to COVID, that was somehow a negative for that team because of supposed added pressure?

    UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

    Hmmm -- I thought you were disagreeing with me on a prior post. Now you say they cna have the possibility of beating Ohio State? And even USC? Am I reading your point of view, correct? If so, so you think they can get to E8 and FF, so you agree with me that they have a high ceiling, correct...

    UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

    There are more games than elimination games. When I referred to big games it's more than just them - and also include reg. season. Throw in the senior factor. Throw in as a senior she is playing with what -would be up to if they were getting to the E8- that Paige would be best player on the...

    UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

    They are two All-Americans with a history of showing in big games. When UCONN was a juggernaut I'd always have some trepidation for a 1st team A/A (especially in which she could be the best player on the court) and a prior A/A like Edwards. Two highly experienced players. I didn't say win a...

    UConn not in Albany? Portland bracket here (merged)

    There should be no easy game for UCONN. I fear and respect any/each opponent. Other years we're a juggenraut. This year's version is a "Survive and Advance" team. If they can -one game at a time in which a loss can come anywhere from rd 1 and up the survival path. IMO they are a low-floor...
