Had my first chance to see the squad and was really pleased with what I saw.

- Sims is as good as ever. So easy to take her for granted because you know what you are going to get every game.
- Higgins has lost weight and was very active around the basket. I expect big things out of her this year. I see her much in the mold of Dolson as she can step 15 to 20 feet from the basket and drain those shots.
- Prince is out 6 weeks with a foot injury. I am fearful that this may be something that plagues her for the rest of her career.
- Johnson is a very good passer and ball handler. She is also deceptively good with her mid-range game and at getting to the basket. No three point range to speak of.
- Robertson will continue to be a role player, although she got more minutes that any other player in this game. Hmmmm
- Chandler will also be a role player. I give up the dream that she will get back to her pre ACL injury level.
- Agbuke can hit the outside shot but just seems too awkward, IMO, to do much damage in the paint.
- Fuqua will lose out on playing time to the freshmen guards. She is a long defender on the perimeter but at this point does not have the offensive gave to be impactful.
- Ieshia Small is a BALLER! She can handle the ball, pass very well, shoot the three, hit the mid-range jumper and finish around the basket. Very good at leading the break. An immediate impact player who will be another go-to player, along with Sims.
- Cave was the biggest surprise. She is long and lean at 6-4 and has long arms and runs the floor very well. She was great on the boards and also finishes really well around the basket. How she was not ranked coming out of HS is beyond me. Gonna be a good one!
- Wright is good off the dribble and from three point range. Her game resembles Small quite a bit and I suspect that she may be on the floor at the end of a lot of games.
- Davis is a great athlete who can finish at the basket and grab rebounds. Not sure how she got away from Tennessee.
- Hayden did not play...not sure why
