Not only did I vote for Batouly, but I HOPE she's the 5th starter. Why? Because that means not only does she "get" it, but also that she practices well, and is productive when she practices. I realize that starting anyone not named ONO makes us "small", but I'd rather see ONO come off the bench in that I'd rather see her talent come off the bench with Camara having the talent to start.

Given that Stevens surprised everyone at UCONN with her decision, we are thin and small in the post. I'd love to see a big jump by Camara, and even Irwin - having Irwin and ONO as legit backups would be great. While rooting big time for Kyla, I don't know that she has the potential to be a core player. Nothing wrong with that - Geno recruits kids he expects to be starters, and kids he expects to be role players.

I'd LOVE to see this as our core rotation (legit, not just against cupcakes):

Crystal, Megan, Lou, Pheesa, Batouly starters
ONO, Christyn, Mikayla as core 3 off the bench (Mikayla as the 1 backup, Christyn as the 2/3 backup, and ONO as the 4/5 backup)
Kyla, Molly, Lexi as the reserves
