Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3728443, member: 10435"] Absolutely. The press loses its potency when it is non stop. I think this year though will be a continuation of last year in the sense that the aggressive pressing and trapping last year turned the team around and led to movement on offense so I expect it to either start the game or come very soon into it. Geno likes to put the game away early. We had no depth last year and this year we are deep, deep,deep with personnel made to order for a press. That means the pressers will be fresh and energetic and the frosh will be having fun when they get out there. Don't forget that AE was defensive player of the year in her conference/area and Mir is a touted defender. Nika has great ball anticipation and then there is Paige and even Autumn who is a bullet. Plus you have instant chaos in Aubrey and Evina is not even mentioned on the BY as a defender and I think her defense will surprise everyone. Ono in the back under the basket prevents layups. Geno has said how difficult it is coaching freshmen but one thing caught my attention about them in the Evina interview. They are always together as a group on or off the court. You bond off the court, you kick butt on the court. We really need November 28 to get here. [/QUOTE]
