Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 1992567, member: 1364"] I was scrolling through in the hope that I had replied in this post. Unfortunately I didn't reply to this post but I did to others that were along the same lines. I know that I didn't automatically predict an unbeaten season but was stunned by the talk of a number of losses this year. I thought that most every team in the country was going to lose some talented players to graduation though obviously our three losses were big, big ones. I seem to remember that a loss or two was "possible" but wasn't necessarily something that would happen and in retrospect, I'm pretty happy with my mindset from then. We do have Geno and Chris and had some talented kids with one year's experience behind them though I felt that Napheesa underachieved last year. KLS had started off slowly and was surprisingly not shooting well in the early part of last year but then turned a corner and was playing at a high level by the end of the year and improving appreciably on the defensive end. Gabby was showing some skills and confidence though her shooting was still needing work. Kia's steady leadership and good defense were givens and I thought Butler could be a big factor. Anyway, we are playing some wonderful ball and the team has gelled wonderfully though we could use a bit more depth and a key injury could be really bad news. [/QUOTE]
