Message: [QUOTE="turtlespeed, post: 3796087, member: 1690"] Austin was developing nicely as a sophomore, especially her defense. However, she never wanted to play in the post, it appeared she did not like the banging and she wanted to be able to take the ball down court on a fast break. I remember her father saying that she was not a center. However, you can’t blame her for wanting to expand her game, but her talent seems to be in the post. I believe she chose Ole Miss because she probably felt she could do more of what she wanted there. Benzan definitely replaces Mikesell. Their records so far for 3 pointers this year are Benzan: 29 for 54 (54%), Mikesell: 25 for 53 (47%). Plus, Benzan is a much better lateral defender And ball handler. I think too much is made of MD transfers. Austin wanted to expand her game, which was not going to happen at MD. Mikesell must have saw the writing on the wall after Benzan and Bibby transferred in, Mikesell put her name in the portal the next day. Owens transferred for PT, which she is slowly getting at KY.
