IMO its s threefold-- and as a result it impacts the perception of Kaitlyn-Lol this constant fascination and having to have big players it’s hard to understand
It’s about having a really really good players who can play with each other regardless of size
I think many people have basketball PTSD
From the final against South Carolina, where we got completely overwhelmed inside
It wasn’t for a lack of size
Ono at 6:5 Allyah 6;3 and Caroline 6:2
UConn just wasn’t good enough that day
A year later, Iowa beat t basically the same team with the tallest player being 6/3
That being said I Ms Beers decides to come, that would be very significant
One more important stat. She averaged 3.5 rebounds per game.I looked at her stats to see what we can expect:
She shoots well - career 47% and 49% last year. Career 50% on twos and 52% last year. She's not a great 3 point shooter at 29% career and 32% last year. If she can make mid-range shots and lay-ups there are others who can carry the 3 point load.
She had 147 assists last year along with 38 steals.
Advanced applied basketball theorywhat is she going to be studying at uconn grad school?
UConn has won 11 national championships. During every one of those championships the Huskies have started at least one player, typically an AA, who was 6’4” or greater. On several teams, UConn had multiple BIGS: Rebecca/Kara, Stef & Stewie, etc.Lol this constant fascination and having to have big players it’s hard to understand

Who? Maggie or KaitlynI knew something was up when she started following me on Instagram.
Basketball and something else, I forget.... a double major!what is she going to be studying at uconn grad school?
I think her major at Princeton was Medical Anthropology.Basketball and something else, I forget.... a double major!
when someone actually finds out what she plans to study at UConn, maybe they can post it. UConn doesn't have advanced degrees in leadership (business or public administration are different) nor does it give degrees in medical anthropology.Advanced applied basketball theory
But timing could be an issue. I mean; I don't think AZZI is full game ready until February; Caroline is a question mark; Aubrey will be the last of the injured cleared to play, etc. But I agree that getting a BIG is more important. And we all know who I mean.Congrats. Not sure how I feel about it. We have a ton of guards and offense won't be the problem.
This feels like it ought to be true, but I don't think it is. Just off the top of my head, the 2002 team was loaded with AAs, but the tallest starter was 6'3" Asjha Jones. I think it was the same with the NC team the following year, with the tallest starter being 6'3". Starting with Tina Charles, I think Geno was rarely without at least one "true big" until Stewie & Co graduated.UConn has won 11 national championships. During every one of those championships the Huskies have started at least one player, typically an AA, who was 6’4” or greater.

Agree, and still hoping for that big. One thing the exceptional guard depth does, however, is offer an alternative to the traditional two big lineup. Without an addition, I am hoping Jana and Sarah are the real deal at the 5 and 4 respectively, and I think they will be, but both of course are unproven and inexperienced.UConn has won 11 national championships.

I still remember watching Geno sub in Kiah Stokes to play with Stef & Stewie. Opposing teams struggled to get off a shot within 15’ of the basket or come close to getting a rebound. While size is not everything, having talented Bigs on the court can be a significant edge.

Answer...K. Chen had no more eligibility at Princeton... IVY LEAGUE RULES.I'm happy to see Kaitlyn join the team. She an experienced point guard that will likely be able to contribute right out of the gate; will take the pressure off Allie and Morgan and let them integrate into the UConn system, which can take time; will let the back court play fast and aggressively without fear of foul trouble or fourth quarter exhaustion; will provide injury insurance.

Question - she was at Princeton for three years, wky is she a grad transfer with one year of eligibility?
Ivy League does not allow grad students to play. The league also cancelled all winter sports in 2020-2021 due to Covid, so next year could be considered her Covid year.Question - she was at Princeton for three years, wky is she a grad transfer with one year of eligibility?
I agree, I think that sometimes the portal can be prosperous and sometimes it can be poison.I am amazed. Not that she committed, but we went for her. Oh well, what do I know.
It does have a medical school, a top 10 nursing school, the #26 ranked pharmacy school, and the #2 ranked kinesiology school in the country.when someone actually finds out what she plans to study at UConn, maybe they can post it.
