Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3809992, member: 9841"] I don’t disagree he left a lot of talent. The biggest issue last season is there was no clear leader and no “tough” player, either mentally or physically. T McCowan, M William, R Johnson, V Vivians, B Schaefer, A Howard, and J Holmes were all tough mentally and physically. Last year J Danberry had to go from a role player to a leadership role that she wasn’t comfortable playing. Coach Schaefer benched R Jackson at least once last season. Unfortunately it appears Coach McCray-Penson had to do it tonight. I’m more confused as to the drop in playing time for J Mingo-Young. She started hot but obviously something has changed. I know your position on Pat Summit players that later become coaches. I’m still in a wait and see mode on Coach McCray-Penson. She obviously has been successful in the past. However I wonder sometimes if the players thought that with her being an assistant for Coach Staley MSU would suddenly be another South Carolina clone. I’m going to wait and see how the season plays out. [/QUOTE]
