Man I love Shade. She plays with confidence and fire.
💯
I've always liked Shade - she could grow into a mini-Azzi Fuud in terms of producing points consistently. Currently averaging 10 PPG- if this continues, it will help this team immensely.
KK makes this team so much better defensively
Her hands are very fast
Look at the Butler game, Shade played 38 straight minutes, being subbed out for the only time with 2 minutes left in the 4th. She never was breathing hard and was still elevating on her jump shot and the shot was not falling short. All the while she played with intensity and ran the floor, she is amazing. Her and KK are going to be huge now ands years to come.
I think Geno recognized both shade and kk's energy early. Both of them are energizer bunnies and its a good thing. With a 4 guard line up they can run, run and run some more. That is going to wear down teams with traditional 3/4 position players who are bigger but slower.
I just love how everyone got minutes outside the starters. The bench players needed minutes, Ines had some pretty good assists, amari played for a while, just great seeing geno put them out there and learn from their mistakes (turnovers and fouls)
Also, I can’t be the only one who sees how efficient this team is, this could take them far. yes it’s expected to have low percentages against better teams but they have not been lower than 50% shooting in the past couple of games, just tells you how well executed their plans are and how much of a geniuses geno ariemma and his staff are, just wait till ice finds her groove, she’s crucial to this team, and later on to the SC game
another thing to note, I’m so glad we have these freshmen, they’re all huge contributors to the team.
This team needs Ice to play like a competent forward, and that would help with their size shortage up front. Geno has always been correct. They need Ice to play like a sophomore and not a freshman. Caroline needs to take the rest of the season off and maybe next season and get her concussion problems solved. Meanwhile Shade looks EXACTLY like Azzi when she readies to receive the pass to shoot, as well as when she goes left to right to shoot the pull up. Shade shoots off flare and slip screens as well as any player I've ever seen. She has a very precise offensive game, she knows her spots on the floor and she knows how to get to them with efficiency. She also has a great connection with Aubrey on screens and Edwards inside.
Great analysis. Totally agree
Ice is an important piece. She needs minutes. She has great passing skills and will only get better. Great comment
@@johnidiaquez1303 Ice at this point has too many weaknesses. Like DeBerry she doesn't use her body well on offense and defense. She doesn't box out well and just like DeBerry, she doesn't read the ball off the rim well, so in order to get a rebound she has to practically be in the right spot all the time. On offense she's been having problems with the height at this level, so she misses almost every contested layup, she doesn't use her wide body to back defenders down, and she doesn't have good enough head and shoulder movement to deceive defenders on her leg drops. She does shoot very well, far better than DeBerry, and she is a good passer. But she doesn't have say Edward's speed, and on missed shots her body language is poor. On defense she loses her man almost every time down the court on switches, she's slow to close out on the perimeter, and she has issues defending when her mark backs her down. Also, since she doesn't use her body well post players can shoot over her. So no, Ice needs to earn her time on the court like Shade, who plays great defense as a freshman and is rarely out of position.
I have been saying this. Yes I understand she missed an entire year due to injury. However, anyone ranked in the top 5 needs to produce. No ifs or buts, etc.
@@jimmiesmith5590 I think Ice has the ability, but for some it takes time to produce at the college level. A great example of this is Tina Charles, who didn't begin to show her abilities until her junior year. Remember, Ice has only played a few games at this level. She has the ability, just give her some time. Plus if Sara Strong commits to UConn this year their front court next year with Elalfy will be one of the best in WCBB.
Wasn't it great to see Amari play a whole quarter. She is so big! Granted the opposition wasn't great, but couldn't help imagining a legitimate rim presence in March. Well, one can dream!
Unfortunately she is a lost cause. Geno is not giving her any meaningful playing time because he doesn't see it during practice. Even when she is on the court, she is tentative in decision making, turns the ball over, and doesn't score. She is a junior and don't see her turning it around; she is a prime candidate to transfer.
Geno has been public in his approach to his “new” team. He’s resigned to the fact that they’re going to lose 5-6 buckets (at least) owing to their lack of size. He hopes to make that up by hitting 6-7 more threes than the opposition. He hopes to make a few extra free throws. He hopes to have a slight advantage on scoring off turnovers. We shall see how this approach works vs. SC. It does mean that-against the top teams-Paige and Shade must be hitting their threes.
Not such is being said about KK who is all over the court with her defense and pushing the ball up the court on offense. She’s a terrific athlete and appears to be fearless on both defense and offense. We got a special player in KK.
Well, she can, (recently) still have a lousy game with many misses and turnovers. But that will improve.
She's been named Big East freshman of the week three times, so someone is paying attention.
once she learns real pg ball control she is going to be a handful. She has a bunch of raw energy but needs to bottle some of it and learn to control the game
It took a few games to figure out who should start, play more minutes! This freshmen class has much more to contribute even if it doesn’t have much size. Shooting and uptempo will be their hallmark!
Love reading your posts. Basketball savy fans.
My prospective:
Geno, Keep doing what your doing: A. Developing 4 frosh, letting others shine, develop their game.
B. Play Amari
C. Sub in Nika.Shes not a starter
D. Paige, I love the way Geno handling her, letting her slowly come back to form. She.ll be there. Paige is,letting other's develop their game, accepting less role. This will equal success inside Feb.
E. Sarah Strong, pull the trigger, come to UCONN.
Absolutely correct about Paige being the primary ball handler. The Nika lovers out there need to accept the fact that Nika is not a top 20 PG -- her handle sucks and she turns the ball over way too much. Nika is the third best PG on this team TBH -- KK is already better. The development of KK and Ashlynn has been good and will need to continue if they are to keep the Sweet 16 streak alive.
That being said...this is still not a top 10 team. They are too small to compete with the likes of SC, LSU, and Stanford. Unless someone with size suddenly steps up big time (Amari, Ice) this team will have to get lucky to make it to the elite 8.
You ARE watching! 🤫
Agreed. But only if Caroline is healthy. That's a big if.
shade has been ballin
KK and Shade are balling no doubt keep up the good work ladies #GoLadyHuskies
Early in the season, Edwards was missing elbow jumpers that last year she was making in her sleep. Now she’s hitting them again. By adding Shade and Edwards, we seem to have three scoring threats instead of just Paige. We need Griffin to be great CONSISTENTLY. And what’s with Nika and all of these knuckleheaded turnovers?
this is who muhl was last year. lou aaliyah and dorka just did a good job hiding that. muhl was carried by a solid offense.
I posted on the UCONNWBB page somewhere between the 1st & 3rd loss....PLAY ASHLYNN MORE...also KK and Q...You can see the difference for sure!!!
Keep up great work on the team and not the hurt team members, stay positive 😊
Marquette and Creighton back to back coming up soon!
This aged well!
I still don’t agree with Nika starting.
Having Nika start allows Aubrey to be able to sub in for 3 different players. Nika can't sub in 3 different players. i believe he wants to keep Shade and Paige on the floor as much as possible and allow Aubrey to come in for either nika, kk or edwards. with doing that it allows then nika to be able to sub kk or paige. Shade has so much energy it looks like she could play 40 mins a game with ease
@@philipwhatley6742 I believe Griffin should start and Nika comes off the bench because Griffin has more to offer for Offense and Defense. Nika should come off the bench to give Griffin rest, not the other way around. Nika is not a point guard, rebounder (Off/Def) or blocker. She’s not bad on defense but UConn is small and needs more rebounds on both sides. Griffin provides that. If anything, I would start Samuels and build her confidence for March over Nika and sub her in for Griffin. Lose a few battles to prepare for the war. 🏀 they already lost 3 games. It’s all up hill from here.
There has to be some scoring from the bench. Until Ice or if some minor miracle Caroline can provide some scoring off the bench it will probably be Aubrey. But, if Nika keeps turning the ball over it might change. It doesn't look good for Caroline. The way she played against Creighton and Iowa last year was awesome. But, she might be done for this year. She obviously can't play til the head injuries are gone.
@@Paul15. Caroline and Nika are done for this season. Honestly. The freshmen’s are truly playing at or above the seniors level and Samuels has tons of potential. Arnold, Shade, Brady and Samuels are the future of the program. I’d put my stock in them now. Plus, DeBerry should not be on the bench! She can grab rebounds, block and help the team as a Role player like Griffin. Every day she sits in the bench, it kills her confidence and morale to play. He’s coaching a double edge sword. Talent on the bench wasting away or talent on the court.
“Addicted to Buckets 🔥🔥🔥”
who knew shade was going to turn out to be a great shooter
I did. One just needs to watch her highlight films from high school
Geno did. Good thing too haha
Geno said after the Toronto game that he recruited her for her shooting.
UConn is fortunate to have Geno, one of the best coaches of all time. If I remember correctly, he coached a team similar to this one to the national championship with the only veteran being Diana Taurasi.
Great analysis but you didn’t mention KK??
Griffin was 1-1 on 3 pointers against Louisville. She didn't have 6 three pointers. She was 6-8 on free throws: that may be where you got the 6 from.
That’s totally my bad! Thank you for noticing.
Always decent posts, Man. Also, me and Van Buckets have broken up... and my new swet bae is Georgia Amoore 😍😍
Amoore is elite! Aussie rep 🇦🇺
shout out to kks defense
This is what happens when a coaching genius is served a disaster. He has a team to develop with four vets and four Freshmen, unknown, untested and needed for UConn to be a force in March. As Geno said, forget W/L and focus on player and team development. He showed his approach in Toronto playing all of the bench with Q showing her talent by scoring 18 with 7 Rs, 3 As, 2 Ss and... 4 PFs... somethinng to work on. Nineteenbgames before March. Development first. W/L second.
no the coach was being a dick head and choosing seniority over talent. no way muhl should start over aubrey to begin the season. no way the ball should have been out of paiges hands to begin with. during this winning streak she’s the biggest non factor
@@valerocrop1812 - Do you understand how Geno has won 11 NCs? He plays six with a game changer off the bench. That's Aubrey. She watches the game progress so when she comes she knows what she can do. She is also #5 in PT. Starter minutes.
@@StoryGordon bozo when we had 13 players she should have been starting. if caroline was any good she should have been that game changer off the bench. if muhl was worth anything besides passing the ball to superior players she’d be coming off the bench
Starting is unimportamt at this level. Performance is and some players are better coming off the bench than starting as shown by Aubrey's PT being in the top five. Do you understand how Geno wins NCs? With six players. Five starters and a sixth man who makes the difference. Check their history. Geno wins big games playing six for 190+ of the 200 minuteplayer
@@StoryGordon in this day and age that’s exactly why we’re losing. geno has won with 5 best scoring options. muhl doesn’t give any of that. and he’s relying on 2 freshmen to step in and be heavy contributors. we’re not winning anything any time soon if he’s relying on what worked 10 years ago
Shade been her since Indiana live and breathes basketball be a great one for uconn.
They cloned Azzi and produced Shade who I think is a better defender.
Also Q. Did you see her stats?
Although she has decent stats, (except for assists), I hope that Q is not a "one-trick pony" solely as a shooter. She needs to develop all other facets of her game.
Remember that they played Butler, Toronto, and Louisville (#18). What are they going to do against the top 5 teams (especially SC, UCLA, NC State,Texas)? Maybe they can improve to the point where they will do more than simply compete with them. They still also need effective bigs.
While im very glad about this new team of players that look promising we still hav to hold out breathe to see how they play to a top team will they continue or fold
So glad that not wasting Paige time ,I love kk n shade n Griffen now kk plays with confidence that Azzi don't hav if she did Azzi would be dangerous but she isn't aggressive enough n she hesitate to much ,n Griffen I love ww hav a big girl n the middle that can block n rebound n can shoot
Need Caroline Back . Gives them more scorers
And rebounders!
She was averaging 4 points a game. Shade is already better.
@@TheDisruptiveOneyea her head injuries are unfortunate, never recovered
@@torrinbianchi5283 those head injuries disrupted her development. It would be a poor decision to slot her in over KK, Shade, or Samuel. All of whom seem to be on the way up.
@@torrinbianchi5283 yeah she got those convenient "im feeling well enough to go the cayman islands and have fun for the holiday but im too unwell to play" head injuries. LOOL wake up people.
GENO has to play the FRESHMEN cause of injuries ?????
Nothing really has changed they're still a work in progress. Too soon to put too much on Shade after a couple productive games one of which was against a horribly outclassed Canadian team. Fact is she's drawn one foul so far a number so mind boggling for a starter it points out the lack of ability or confidence moving to the basket to force the action and draw fouls. Beuckers only a few games divorced from carrying the team on her back, still needed to rebound against bigger teams so her focus on a game by game basis. Brady still needs a lot of work, Samuels still trying to get the confidence of the coaches with streaky play and Arnold still trying to balance speed and aggressiveness with smart high level guard play.
One game at a time, the formula for winning can change on a dime at any time. One thing is clear, for the team to have success Beuckers needs to have confidence finding open players for shots not carrying the entire load on her shoulders.
Your comments haven't aged well.
NM is a turnover machine and plays sub standard defense! I said what I see!
Can you stop posting videos showing what UConn is doing make their opponents do their homework themselves
You’re an idiot if you think UConns opposition haven’t recognised this stuff too lmao, get a grip mate
Are women wearing tampons on the hip to avoid bruises ?
U sound like such a fkn virgin holy shit
Nice vid. Just imagine if everyone on the team was healthy. How’s that song go “everybody clean up..” 🧹😉
