Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5141635, member: 13446"] Too an extent, I absolutely agree with the initial post. What I see is that Ice has more experience, but that is about all she has over Jana. Frankly, Ice is inexperienced as well, she played last year while Jana was redshirted, but didn't really get all that many minutes; we had Aaliyah Edwards! So, they both are on learning curves and both are getting better. From a mental perspective, from a confidence level, you listen to Ice in an interview and she will tell the reporter that she is the experienced player! I absolutely love it! 'I'm the upperclassmen now, I am filling the leadership roll, I am consistent in my play, [I]such and such[/I] is doing great given that she is just a freshman without my experiences, ..." As far as which is better, statistically? PvP in post #1 is correct, but there are many things that statistics simply do not tell the full story. Comments: [I]I think we need to recognize her greater contribution and give her the majority of minutes rather than playing a back up role.[/I] - There really is no 'we' in this, only Geno's opinion counts. [I]There may still be a lingering conditioning issue. -[/I]This comment was regarding Jana, and I would simply state that Ice's offseason conditioning appears to have been extensive, and very productive for her. I think she does have a step on Jana. I don't know how it goes in practice; if you put them shoulder to shoulder against each other under the hoop, jump for shots, rebounds, and/or defense rejecting the others??? As a footrace down the court after a solid 20-min of play, I would say Ice is going to win that race most every time. [I]When the game is close, Jana is difficult to have in due to her tendency to foul.[/I] -Yes, in comparison to Ashlynn's fouls, but this is not at all true in comparison to Ice. Jana foul's less than Ice does. Jana hasn't been shooting free throws worth a dang; that is her Achillies heal. [I]As you might expect from someone coming back from a major injury, she moves slower to the ball than Ice.[/I] -Moves slower, as in collecting rebounds? Jana has almost double the rebounds and the points when you factor in the minutes played. [I]Post # 13.[/I] -Reading through this now, I should have just cut and pasted [USER=9844]@oldhusky[/USER] word for word and not wasted anyone's time in my typing this post... [/QUOTE]
