the way he runs, Brady would never make the Uconn team.
I hear he has one hell of a half court shot though................and a pretty good passer too.....

True, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet on that #1 recruit with Geno's tutelage ending up having the most successful career and development. Still think A'ja Wilson would have benefited by playing for Geno (and alongside the big three for a few years) instead of at South Carolina. Geno takes those great players to the next level more than any coach I've seen.different recruiting services don't always name the player as their player of the year, so in fact it's possible to be ranked number one and not be the best.....2016 - Lauren Cox was ranked #1 by ESPN but I don't think she's been the top player in her class so far, same goes for Megan Walker in 2017...she may end up being tops in her class but she isn't right now.

Oh yeah you would have to think UConn would be the favorites this year if Stevens played out her eligibility. But, in the end, I think it will work out for the better. If Stevens were still here, Megan would be coming off the bench, and I don't think that would be good for her development. I look forward to this season and seeing how Megan, Christyn, ONO, Batouly, and Coombs develop with lots of playing time up for grabs. Given the talent of these players, I think we're going to be very happy by the end of the year with what we've got heading into the tourney. Not saying this team will win it all, but I do think the final four streak continues.yes it would have been nice to have a second year with a certain Azura Stevens.......ahhhhh if she were still a Husky...

But his passes into the post would be great.the way he runs, Brady would never make the Uconn team.
And they would be worth 7 points instead of 2.But his passes into the post would be great.

Sure but I hate seeing potential being squandered. I felt that way about Z last year. Geno has in the past talked about great talents fighting him, but when they finally do what he asks, the lightbulb goes off and the player maximizes their potential.hey what are you talking about......AW has proven once and for always that you can become a WNBA star without being able to use both your hands.....

You kind of proved my point. "Won a national title." Stewie, Tuck, and Jefferson won four national titles. That could have been Wilson's legacy too, so why wasn't it? Because she went to South Carolina instead of UConn. UConn had walk ons win more titles than Wilson.Maybe.
But she was a three time AA, NPOY, won a national title, three SEC titles, averaged more points and rebounds than Candace Parker, went #1 in the draft and was WNBA rookie of the year so I guess it wasn’t all bad for her.
I'm sure her one title she won for her home state would mean more to her than winning any amount of titles at UConn. She chose not join a UConn team that didn't need her at all to win their last two championships.You kind of proved my point. "Won a national title."

True...but she wouldn't be getting a statue at UCONN....lol...You kind of proved my point. "Won a national title." Stewie, Tuck, and Jefferson won four national titles.

It doesn't chap any fans. Everyone here acknowledges she is a great player. Did she maximize her full potential in college? I don't think I could say yes to that question, could you? I don't see how posing that question is taking a shot at her career.I'm sure the national titles are just as meaningful to the walk-ons.
I am 100% certain that Wilson does not regret her decision.
It's weird that it still chaps UConn fans enough to take shots at her career.

That is certainly how it appears to some people reading your posts. What was your intention?It doesn't chap any fans. Everyone here acknowledges she is a great player.

A number of UConn fans tend to ignore the importance to Wilson of playing in her home town, where her parents could watch every one of her home games, give their baby girl a kiss after the game and be home to see the highlights on the evening news. The angst that some UConn fans have over Wilson have little to do with Wilson's individual achievements and more to do with the likely scenario that had Wilson become a Husky, UConn would be coming off their 6th straight national championship.I'm sure the national titles are just as meaningful to the walk-ons.

I think in most people's minds, winning an inaugural title for South Carolina was a bigger achievement than winning 4 titles as a Husky given the state of the two programs at the time of her commitment. How many UConn fans predicted she would win even a single title in Columbia when she announced her commitment? She accomplished something amazing for them, really putting them on the map. Her choice of South Carolina is probably largely responsible for this year's incredible recruiting class.You kind of proved my point. "Won a national title."
