Message: [QUOTE="HuskyFan1125, post: 4436111, member: 446"] Interesting to see this in print! A few points from my perspective. Texas will be ok once Harmon returns. Gonzalez and Morris can play point in a pinch, but I think Texas entire preseason was with Harmon running the team and they just had trouble going without her. Gonzalez can play the point, but she is at a new school and a new system. By the end of the season Texas will right their ship and should be pretty darn good. Their post play is great. Amina Muhammed was something else to watch. Uber athletic and Taylor Jones is a good fit for them. Louisville will be fine too. If you watched Louisville's games their defense had moments of real intensity where teams couldn't do anything with the ball. As the season progresses, they will get the offense as it usually comes later for teams. They have to figure out who their scorers are going to be besides Hailey Van Lith. Morgan Jones is an athlete, but she does disappear at times which she did at FSU. She just has to be her best all the time and I don't think she has figured that out yet. Tennessee needs a shakeup in their starting lineup IMO. I would start Powell/Walker/Jackson/Horston/Franklin. That lineup looked more in sync on the floor in the game against Gonzaga. Horston needs to be on the wing or in the paint. She is a 6'2 guard that can post up and jump out of the gym. Use that. I think things go awry when she is racing up the floor with the ball. Leave that to Powell or Walker and sprint to the block or the wing. To my naked eye Franklin gives the best post energy. She is active on the glass and moves well in the paint. I honestly forgot Key was in the games a few times or thought she should be on the bench. Striplin gave more with her minutes honestly. I think the Vols just need to regroup and figure things out with all those players and transfers. Can they, do it? I think so? We may very well be talking about them in the NCAA tourney. They have the horses. Can they line up and pull the wagon together? That remains to be seen. I would also like to add I did notice when the horn sounded against Gonzaga Jackson marched straight back to the locker room and didn't even go through the handshake line that I could see on the broadcast. She is an interesting player. Gifted offensively but....... [/QUOTE]
