What do we do with Tuck?

Tuck can start at the 5 I guess, and 6'5" Butler transfered to UCONN to be a sub.

Or Williams stays a high-minutes sub, Stewie starts at 3/4, Tuck starts at 4/5 (4 defense, 5 offense), and Butler stays under the hoop on defense.

Hopefully they can all get good minutes (including the incoming freshmen) and we will be the deepest team ever.

We're going to have a 15 year Throwback.

UConn is stomping a team. Fan behind the bench is yelling, "Put your bench in! Put your bench in!"

Geno turns, "This IS my bench."

Pause.

Fan yells, "Put your starters in!"

Tuck starts. Take it to the bank.

"Tuck is too good to not start."

This is one of those times where I wish we were allowed to hit the "like" button more than once.

Next year is the chance to knock us off. Who do you think is going to beat us this year? Notre Dame with a Soph in Reimer and two freshmen in the low post? USC?

Next year more teams are capable of having one unreal game like Nova had vs GTOWN.

Not next year...the year after....Stewie , Tuck and Mo will not lose...bet the ranch on it

Okay -- this year and next year we are soooooooooo beastly!

No way, absolutely no way Tuck does not start. she is the leader of the team.

Also, if someone wants to knock us off, they had better do it this year.... coz no way will anyone touch us next year. what a team.

I totally agree.
Morgan and KML have a lot of control of the offense. They are like field generals in the half court sets. Like Stef was her last few years.

FYI I do hope you are right that Butler ends up starting, but I do think that only 4 starters spots are "guaranteed".

Jefferson, Nurse, Tuck and Stewie. I actually believe the 5th starter could come from any 1 of 4 players - Butler, Williams, Collier, or Samuelson. I know there are pros and cons to each one and I bet there will be interesting and spirited debates over the summer. Honestly I have no idea who I'd "prefer", but...

1. Put Butler out there and you have a legit and skilled back to the basket center and she can bang around in the post with the other teams' center leaving Stewie more free to roam
2. Put Williams out there and you have an undersized kid who is crazy-athletic and tough as nails and plays like she's on a pogo stick.
3. Put Samuelson out there and (yeah she's a freshman as is Collier) you have a kid who shoots like KML but is 3" taller
4. Put Collier out there and you have a do everything 3/4 who has a game that is almost as good as Maya Moore's.

You can't go wrong with any of them. I don't think Chong becomes a starter next year mainly because UCONN would them really have no "really skilled" guard off the bench.

There you go. Well put. (I've said it myself in a couple of these threads.) 4 starters coming back from this year and you have up to 4 players who should be able to compete for that 5th starting role. Gonna be fun next year.

I agree with Chong coming off the bench. Just like this year, we are gonna be a little short on guards.
