Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4476099, member: 12088"] Perhaps you guys didn't see Saylor play for us in spring '21. She only got a few mop-up minutes and looked completely lost. She received plenty of encouragement from Paige and Evina to shoot whenever she got the ball. But she was young, and probably not feeling 100%. The following fall, she was still recovering from an injury and didn't get to play at all. I imagine she figured she'd never crack the rotation. This may have been a huge miscalculation once Paige and Azzi went down. Of course, who knows what was going on in practices last spring. Perhaps she didn't think she'd beat out Caroline. But once Caroline's health declined, I suspect she'd have seen a lot of minutes, if she wanted them and was healthy enough herself. I doubt the coaching staff made an easy mistake. The Saylor they knew probably wouldn't have started for us much this year, while they might have guessed she'd start at Arkansas. It wouldn't at all surprise me if Geno said as much to her at the time. [/QUOTE]
