So now that everyone is there, on campus and practicing (if not injured like Cheli), and before our exhibition game Monday, I thought maybe we could revisit the starting 5 people think. I'm talking about game 1 in the regular season, not exhibition games or scrimmages. What say you? Vote for 5...

A couple interesting tidbits.
  • Geno has said Ice has looked very good
  • Geno has had high praise for Ash and Blanca
  • Geno has said Fisher is the fastest player on the team and a good shooter
  • We've seen a "report" that Blanca is in the top 5 for expected "impact freshmen"
  • We've heard Serah has struggled a bit
Lots more tidbits from comments and practices, but I wonder if any of that will change people's votes from before. I'll admit I originally had Blanca starting (early in the summer) but changed that to Ash. I still think Serah starts.

In respect of proven, seasoned players, I anticipate Azzi, Sarah, Serah, KK & Ash to start … after this time, I cannot guess based on my lack of knowledge of preseason performance … only Geno knows …

Those are my starters as well.

I thought about doing a variation on this thread where instead of listing the starters you allocate the 200 available minutes among the players. That's a much bigger challenge. It does allow you though to "reward" players who may not be starting, but will play a significant role this season.
 
I have all starters being returning players, in particular El-Alfy starting over Williams. In my view Williams, playing in a new system, has a lot to prove to start over last year's starting center, who helped them win a national championship. I have Shade and Arnold replacing Bueckers and Chen for the same reason.

I have a nitpick question. First game that counts or who starts this coming Monday?

Exactly. Big difference to me. I have Azzi, KK, Caroline, Sarah and Ice for Monday. I have Azzi, KK, Sarah, Jana, and Caroline against Louisville.
 
Lets not forget these are DAY ONE starters. Might take a couple of the newbies a bit to get adjusted to Geno's system.
