Listening to Geno talk, to me, it''s amazing. The ins and outs, how he communicates with his kids to encourage and motivate, and to avoid discouraging them. His understanding with the nuances of the game is mind boggling. It cracks me up the arrogance some people have criticizing him and saying what he needs to do. Oye. I used to be one of those when I was a young buck.
Ice Brady comment seems right on. Her slow movement and poor physical conditioning was obvious. She is improving. Hope it works out. Now Deberry is a whole different thing. She is in poor condition and either fouls or turns ball over almost immediately. Altra slow and lack of being at all in sync. 6 foot 6 inches and a liability on the floor. She is very much needed but refuses to do anything to prove herself. For a coach it must be very frustrating.
Geno points out that we miss 50% of our shots, thus the need for offensive rebounding. But if you take layups out of the equation, we surely miss 60% of our shots, reinforcing the point.
Fortunately Qadence is a natural rebounder at 6'1", while at 6'3" Ice is not. Ice doesn't read the ball off the rim well, she doesn't box out well, and her footwork and how she uses her body is only fair at both ends of the floor. Also limiting both players is their lack of upper and lower body strength. While Ice appears to be far better suited to gaining a lot more upper body and core strength, Qadence is going to have to work harder to do so. Ice's body language on missed shots and opportunities is not good at this time, and after a missed shot she tends to sulk and jog down court. Qadence on the other hand has a chip on her shoulder all the time, which I like a lot. When she learns to channel that anger she's going to be special. I'd wish Ice had that same chip and came on the court with more of a snarl to her game. All of these issues are fixable, but it's going to take work for both the players and the coaches.
@@mrmojorisin8752 She could learn a lot more just watching Dennis Rodman talk about rebounding and how he learned how to read the ball off the rim and position himself. Or maybe when alumni such as Naphessa Collier (who read the ball off the rim better than any UConn player I ever saw) or Tina Charles come to play pick up games she could just watch, listen, and learn. Geno has complained that she tends to get upset and frustrated when he criticizes her game and points out her faults. He has said in effect that she still quite mentally immature.

Geno and Dan. UCONN is lucky.

You are right on both points, especially about Deberry. She is slow footed and lost on the court.

Hope Q can hold it in! She will be great.
@@mikemet1744 I want that spit to come flying out when it's appropriate. She's my kinda girl.
Agree that Ice doesn’t read the ball off the rim or box out. She could learn a ton from Paige on those skills.
