Since the four recruits played similar positions  Guards/Wings,  it was highly probable that one or more would transfer.  Geno's system that you have to earn playing time by your efforts and knowledge demonstrated in practice seems to limit playing time compared to what Freshmen might get at other programs.  There are very few freshmen that are able to gain immediate starting status unless there is a considerable weakness at a particular position.  At the beginning of the year, the only question  the team had was Crystal improved enough to handle the Starting PG  or was Geno going to go with a bigger lineup and have Stevens start.  We got the answer early as Crystal is the starter and doesn't look like she's going to relinquish it and Stevens comes off the bench.  I can't think of a Single Freshmen in all of College Basketball that would be able to break into this starting lineup.

I do wish that the potential future starters that are on the team would get more minutes this year.  However, playing time is earned in how hard you work in practice regardless of whether the player(s) is a potential starter in the future.  The system has served Geno and CD well, no reason to change it.
