Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2749451, member: 6620"] In an earlier post on this thread, I acknowledged that it will take awhile for ND to get some aspects of it's game together. Regarding a few of those: - Turner is listed as 6'3", looks a bit taller depending on the hairstyle she's wearing and, indeed, has good hops and arm extension, making her seem taller. Will she come back from the ACL? When the season starts, it will be nearly 1 1/2 years since she had the injury in the NCAAs. Reports are good. We can only see how that plays out on the court. Mik Vaughn is also coming off an ACL and she's another very tall one (6'3") to match up with Turner and Shepard. - Speaking of playing tall, Jackie Young can play inside very well for a six-footer. If she can start stroking more outside shots with confidence, it will open up the middle even more for the ND posts, both low- and high. - Mabrey spent the summer of '17 working on her shot, period. She picked up the PG duties in-season/on-the-fly. The plan is for to be the lead guard this season and she is allegedly spending the time this summer working as such. Will she morph into Lindsay Allen? Doubtful. Will she be more efficient against full-court pressure? Depends on who the Irish are playing. Will she be better? Yup. Given the end result of last season, it wasn't so bad. ;) BTW, she'll have help with the press: Jordan Nixon has a serious handle and looks pretty calm and collected when I see her. The best part about this post is I have not had to mention the Irish leading scorer once... :cool: [/QUOTE]
