This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Lots (and lots) of Guards.... by dillon77

A quick look at tangible parts of the UConn roster in 2019-20

PG: C. Dangerfield
SG: C. Williams, M. Bent
Wing: M. Walker, A. Makurat, Griffin
Center/Forward: Olivia Nelson-Ododa, K. Irwin.
Forward: B. Camara, K. Irwin, Griffin?, the Murray State Grad Transer???? In my very humble opinion, Walker is a wing and moving her up front diminishes her offensive skill set. In most games this won't be an issue, but against the better and bigger teams, this position will be key for the Huskies.

And of course, if Evina Westbrook is granted a waiver (I think the key to that is the UT administration's response), you've got another guard.

In 20-21

Nika Muhl and Paige Bueckers join. Both are primarily known as point guards -- and they'll need one -- but Bueckers says she'll play whereever she's needed.

I think all these guards are very talented and I have no doubt that Geno A. can get them functioning as a highly effective unit. However, height is height (witness Baylor and ND getting to the NC game). It's one reason why I believe the (unexpected) recruiting loss of Aliyah Boston to S. Carolina put them in a precarious position. O N-O was something of a surprise commitment when she came to UConn...imagine where they'd be without her.

Stay tuned.

BTW, I like a lot of what I saw from Westbrook when she was in HS and then UTenn. But also thought that ship had sailed, so to speak. I'm quite happy with NDs younger guards, such as Anaya Peoples.

But, like UConn, we need big people, which is why the Nat Marshall commitment was so key. Hopefully, Wastson will follow suite or there is some kind of mutual interest between Mimi Collins and ND. IMHO, Collins is the most important transfer out of Tennessee.
