I'm sorry I created some furor with my comment. Just say I'm not as high on Rickea as many, many are. I have concerns which can well be unjust. I just thought I could give my opinion with a couple of stats and there would be a discussion. I
think you guys are going to be loaded next year and I think that in March Justine will be a big part of the program success going forward.
There is nothing intentionally veiled in my comments. Here's a little background on what happens to a freshman when they are squeezed out. During the time Paige was injured, Caroline Ducharme was the high scorer for UConn 6 times. At DePaul with a last second shot for the win they ran a play with one option and that was for Caroline. Everyone is now back. Last game Caroline got 2 minutes. When they put her in now open 3's are clanked and layups don't fall for her. Looking at your team, 3 point shooting is very weak. And it is one reason that you don't see a lot of the offensive potential from Key. In my opinion, Justine is going to be the best option to prevent teams from packing in the middle and preventing Key and the midrange shooters from having freedom to move. I would hate to see Justine wither away on the bench while two predominant midrange scorers dominate the wing positions. I don't think Rickea is a bad player because her skill is obvious. Just do you need another Horston or should you build your team with more versatility.
I probably didn't state my thoughts as well as I could have, But I hope I can pass through the state of Tennessee without being shot.
