Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 2698699, member: 656"] This will be an interesting year to contemplate our understanding of Geno's methods and the achievable results. The coaching staff is considerably altered...more so than just one leaving (who seemingly was not directly replaced, why?) There is a cadre of sophs whom we barely know. The junior non-starters have not shown that they can contribute in crunch time. Two immensely gifted freshman join the party. What does one expect will happen... My guess (just a guess): Megan will be solid; one of the virtually unknown sophs will emerge, the two juniors will be mop-ups and the freshman will both play...plenty...and Batouly is the wild card. If she's healthy, she can help out a lot. After all these years, I still cling to my Moriah hypothesis, that she was ready earlier; that what she turned into in her sophomore and Junior years was all there in a film of her high school exploits...and her dad said so as well. Geno remarked that as a frosh, she went too fast; seemingly changed her style and approach to something less valuable...When she returned to (or he trusted her to resume her natural tendencies) the essential Moriah emerged...perhaps not quite as imaginative a passer as CD, but her ability to score amidst the trees (and not be injured) was unparalleled and her defensive pestiness, game altering. But, that's one player. For this season, we have all the skill players necessary, but the absence of heft is a big, big problem. [/QUOTE]
