Destino Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I feel like in womens ball you can close your eyes and draft a UConn starter and get pretty good player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that Reese would probably get you more national attention and a few more nationally televised games. Last night on ESPN is was about Clark and Reese and showing their pressers. I didn't see anything from players drafted to other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Reese is a diva with a limited offensive game, and coaches don’t want someone that could upset the locker room, regardless of talent. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are going to succeed and you can't help but feel optimistic about the future for the first time in over a decade.

Whomever they hire will understand that there is another year or two of losing with younger players before the expectation to win starts to build.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with it as long as the players being developed for the long haul are getting enough minutes to..... Develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
