    Morgan Tuck will be a key piece for the Huskies. She’s been flying under the radar. She will get substantial minutes and combined with Stefanie Dolson, Kiah Stokes, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, and Breeana Stewart, UConn will have a formidable and imposing front court.

    It’s great that we will have a Jefferson in a prominent position again. With all the talk of Tuck and Stewart don’t forget Moriah. It’s going to be a great year. Did anyone else notice Geno knows how to take the big girls out of the Olympic games for USA wins??? It’s going to be a great year for UConn..
