IMHO, for the truly knowledgeable HS player, with WNBA and Olympic aspirations, if you clear out all the noise, etc, and focus on results, you will see that in fact, you can reach college WBB nirvana with NCs, WNBA, and Olympic success, and only get 20-30 mins per game. Our "big 3" these past 4 years probably played less minutes than some of the starts on other teams. Yes, from a historical perspective, there were players that may have played 30+, maybe Maya, DT, and others, but largely, if you buy into the team concept, and understand that there is always a bigger picture than "getting yours", whether that be minutes, points, or other stats, then you will not be deterred with the 2017 roster (Walker, others). Call it a gut feel, no more no less, but to me, Ekmark, Irwin, Bent, and Camara might be the supporters/super subs that the team needs to round out the team. Gordon and AEH are still unknowns, and I am in no way assuming or predicting that none of these will ever bust out and become a future Stewart/Tuck/Jefferson, however when the informed watch a UC game, the bench can be just as important, if not more so, than the starters.
