FWIW... IF, and it's a big "if", Ayanna and Ice can be counted on early and often, then that will go a long way to replace what we lose with Olivia. IMHO it will come down to a few options for Geno - take a already skilled post player with 1 or 2 years remaining, or take a high ceiling post player who may need time to develop (and I'm talking about 6'5" bangers, not 6'2" forwards).
If by some miracle, he was able to land Cunningham, then IMHO no need for option 2 - just a 1 year player.
For the guards, before anyone pencils in Paige for 35 MPG, etc. I think Geno will be more generous with the PT for other guards than he has been in the past. Last year we never really had the depth. Azzi and Nika had nagging injuries to start the season, then both missed games. Paige, as we all know, was out for a long stretch. He never had the luxury of 6 or so guards/wings to mix and match all season.
Next year he will only have 4 of them so IMHO I think a guard is more urgently needed than a post, but take both if possible.
Last note - for all the "we need shooters" (which i do NOT disagree with), Nika was a better 3-point shooter than both Christyn and Evina, she just didn't putt the trigger often (enough). Her % was almost identical to Paige's. All this in spite of a terrible start %-wise (due I think to her nagging injury).
Anyone who thinks Nika is a shooting liability is incorrect IMHO. What she is, is a reluctant shooter who relishes at dishing assists, but needs to take open shots more frequently.
I would love to see 2 guards hop on the UCONN train. Lopez is already a 40%+ 3-point shooter. The other guard does not need to be that good a shooter. But obviously does need to be capable of playing at an elite level.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect Aubrey to contribute AT ALL next season. I know the staff and DR's will evaluate and advise, but I'd love to see her spend a year rehabbing and working on her game rather than trying to play after losing so much time and having her game revert back to high school quality skill-wise.
She's almost starting from scratch after being unable to do anything physical for so long. For a player whose game is predicated on physical gifts and athleticism, she has a long road ahead of her to get back to anything resembling her former level.
