I'm not a UConn fan, but I agree with wanting to see if Paige would have hit the shot against Iowa. It really ticked me off when the refs made that moving pick call with the game on the line. If the foul occurs away from the ball under those circumstances, you let it ride, and let the players decide the outcome.
As far as Bettencourt, I would move her grade up to a "+" because with her very limited minutes and very limited skill set, when she got in, about every other game she would make a hustle play. Nothing about her game will jump off the screen at you other than the hustle. And hustle is what it's all about.
Q and Ice i think are both yet to be determined. They both played like what most freshman look like their first year. The good thing is they both have gotten to experience playing under the big lights and in front of big crowds early with the team. This off season is where a ton of work will be put in for both. Q's shooting and defense and Ice's shooting around the basket.
It’s hard to fully judge Nika on the turnovers. A lot of them fall on her, but this team has had constant players out of action. Hard to fully develop a team when most are injured.
How are u gonna give Ines and Q both a C? Q deserves at least a C+, she played way more than Ines. Though I’m glad you went fair on Nika. I appreciate all of the love she’s been getting however Aaliyah has been way more consistent than her through their time at UConn and I wish she also gotten more love this season as well
KK has to work on finishing in the summer. She also needs a midrange game cuz she got blocked way too many times. If she learns to slow down her speed will be more of a threat
Hopefully UCONN has no long term injuries so that Geno can play his team like he truly wants to e.g. In the Duke game he wanted to keep up the pace once his team had a double digit lead but had to slow it back down bc of fatigue concerns among his players thus allowing Duke to close the gap again.
Edwards was the only one who aced the midterm, the final and all the quizzes. Amazing consistency and productivity. I don’t think PB should have been graded higher than Edwards, if the standard is performance vs expectations. You were too kind to DeBerry, she should have dropped the course before the midterm and retaken the 101 course. Maybe A- for Shade, but she definitely exceeded all expectations and maybe should seek out some extra credit courses next year. Ducharme? May need to strongly consider another major for her own health. Hope she is getting good advice.
DeBerri was the ultimate F she should have left a year ago. I never got the impression that she ever truly tried as Geno complained about her not taking her practices seriously every yr. I agree with you on Bettencourt. I agree with you Edwards and Bueckers. But Bueckers still needs to shoot the ball more especially in big games like the ND game and the Iowa game. Muhl frustrated the hell out of me with turn overs, stupid needless fowls like she did in the Syracuse game needlessly fowling out. I agree with you on the grades on you on Shade and KK A Arnold, Ice Brady scares me with how overwhelmed and nervous and she can sometimes get. I expect her to be Sarah Strong's backup. Q needs to improve her D but there is so much to like about her shot. So I'm expecting more from her. I totally agree with on the incompletes on Fudd, Griffin, Jana El Alfy, Patterson, and Ducharme. I'm seriously worried abt Ducharmes health with her recurring concussions. The Staff and Geno definitely deserved an A+. Their coaching was especially outstanding in the Duke, USC and Iowa games. Excellent work, your review was so on point as usual keep up the great work.
Coaching staff definitely deserves an A+.....

And I rate your season an 'A' - insightful takes on the under-served women's sports scene.
It’s hard to fully judge Nika on the turnovers. A lot of them fall on her, but this team has had constant players out of action. Hard to fully develop a team when most are injured.
And she was just the best defensive guard we’ve seen in more than a decade. Needs to cut down on fouls and take more 3’s, which she’ll do in the pros.
When it comes to grades, everything is relative, so I play too.
Great point you make about Uconn's coaching staff. Take a 👀 at how they responded to three grueling years of non-stop injury devastation......

Good idea, fun video. Happy 7K!
I hope that they don't automatically give Azzi a starting position next year. She needs to earn it.
Can you do lsu as well? That would be interesting
Since you mentioned Sarah Strong, maybe do a video with the entire roster i.e., Allie Ziebell, Morgan Cheli and rank in terms of talent/potential?
Edwards was the only one who aced the midterm, the final and all the quizzes. Amazing consistency and productivity.

Great assessment, everyone has their own opinions, but overall, I would agree.
