Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4232105, member: 5798"] I'm assuming (hoping) a sophomore leap of some degree for Amari. However you are absolutely correct. To date, she has shown little if anything that would suggest she takes over the starting 5. I'm assuming that she gains some maturity, some weight room strength and an escalated volume of work ethic in practice over the summer. If she can't take ONO's place, then Dorka or Edwards may step in (as you suggest) and Brady or Patterson may will back them. I'm also assuming she has had enough of watching from the bench and is ready to play. I can't see her being content to spend another year on the bench cheerleading. Geno sez: [I]"give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench." [/I]THAT should be her motivation over the summer. Geno as often said: "if a player doesn't get it by their sophomore year, they never will." Let's hope she gets it.[I] [/I]We'll spend the entire summer trying to figure out who Geno starts next season. Admittedly my post was tinged with a bit of optimism and visualizing Amari starting until I hear or read otherwise.[B] That is why she was brought in. [/B]To be ONO's heir apparent.[B] [/B]That IS the plan unless she's not able to answer the bell. She knows exactly what she needs to do between the end of the season and that first exhibition game in November. The ball is in HER court. [/QUOTE]
