Message: [QUOTE="DEpup, post: 3948031, member: 8579"] It was necessary for tourney time. Deberry is going to be good but underclassmen get nervous and tentative in big games so you need more mature seasoned college players on the team too. Dorka serves that role along with Liv. Aaliyah showed her nerves in the tourney. If I was Geno, I wouldnt want to have to depend on a freshman Deberry to get a championship. I'd want freshman contributions to be a bonus if you get it. Aaliyah is great and will be an anchor next year as a sophomore but her freshman came out in this year's tourney in addition to Liv's drama. I still can't believe why there is still a debate about whether Dorka is a good move. Wake up folks. The new norm with transfer rules just changed the fundamentals of the game moving forward and Geno recognizes it and he is stacking his roster in reaction to it. Smart! Right now, they will have Liv, Dorka, Aaliyah, and Aubrey in the front court with big game experience which is good and necessary in today's game. Then you have Piath, Mir, and Deberry to provide the bonus icing on the cake but not absolutely necessary in big games. Perfect strategy by Geno and CD if winning a championship is the goal. [/QUOTE]
