By David in Naples!!!!!


The five players who graduated or transferred started a combined 105 games last season for the Huskies. Since five players started the 38 games, there were 190 possible starts available. Stewie and Moriah had 36 each and Tuck had 32. Of the returning players, Kia Nurse, Katie Lou Samuelson and Gabby Williams had the most starts at 38, 22 and 12 respectively. Napheesa Collier started 9 times and Saniya Chong 3. Natalie Butler started the one strange game when Geno sat the normal starters and went with the rookies.

More important than starts, Kia, Gabby and Napheesa played in all 38 games last season. :D   Add to that, KLS played in every game up until the Final against Syracuse. Together, those four played 3,305 minutes. Most of those minutes were at the beginning of games and not just mop up minutes. Kia and KLS averaged 28 and 24 minutes per game respectively, while Gabby and Napheesa logged 18 and 17 per game. That real time action should pay huge dividends this season. Even Butler and Saniya each averaged 12 minutes per game, when they played. Geno counts on players to understand his offensive and defensive schemes perfectly. While this years starters still have lots of learning to do, they have been exposed to the UConn way for years. Saniya is entering her 4th season, Kia, Gabby and Butler their 3rd and KLS and Collier their 2nd. Even the former walk-on, now on scholarship, TLAW, is now a veteran with 3 full seasons to her credit.

No doubt, the big three are gone and their talent needs to be replaced. But Kia, Gabby, Napheesa, Saniya, Natalie, Katie Lou and TLAW have played a combined 7,328 minutes in 116 games. This is not a bunch of rookies..!!  Speaking of rookies, wait until you see Crystal, Molly and Kyla... 8-)

Go Huskies..!!
