There are times when I wonder if some people even really watch UConn Women's Basketball or women's basketball in general.
If Geno doesn't get Wilson, he is not going to just get a "big" girl or "size" simply to get it. And certainly not to satisfy nervous nelly posters here.
Geno has always shown preference to guards/wings over posts. That's why he regularly plays with 4 guards and 1 post player. I got news for ya. Four of our starters- Hartley, Doty, Faris, KML - 3 guards and a wing. Worked out fine.
I'm not sure if most of you noticed, but 80% (possibly more) of post players or "size" as it is regularly referred to here ranges from mediocrity to utter garbage in women's basketball. I've seen enough missed point blank layups and butter finger missed rebounds over the years to think that.
Did we lose all those Notre Dame games because of their "size"? Or their guards? Pretty sure it was guards.
Did Louisville pull off that gigantic upset due to their "size" or their guards draining 3's? The later.
Guard/wing play is by far the most important aspect of WCBB. Britt Griner, best post player in women's basketball, 1 national title in 4 years. Not that impressive.
Size is important. Skilled size is. Tina Charles, Fowles, Griner, Appel, etc are not the norm, they are the exceptions.
Geno will recruit the players he best feels will help the University of Connecticut. Not surprised at all most are guards/wings. He will not go scrambling to bring in "size" if it can't help us.
