Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4319273, member: 5798"] I was thinking the same thing!!! Another thought about Brady. It's way too early to start trying to GUESS who Geno’s starting 5 will be that first regular-season game in November. What I was thinking about this morning was who will comprise Geno’s core unit, and how many players will be in it. I can see a rotation unit of 8-9 players consisting of Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Dorka Juhasz, Caroline Ducharme, Aaliyah Edwards, Aubrey Griffin, Nika Muhl and Lou Lopez-Senechal. That's 9 players. I can see Amari Dewberry, Isuneh (Ice) Brady, and Ayanna Patterson working their way into the rotation also. Brady and Patterson are unproven incoming freshmen who will have to learn the system and earn Geno’s trust. That could well happen once official practice begins in mid-October. The core players are inter-changeable. Any of them are very capable of starting. Geno tells his players: “give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench.” None of us know right now today how fast our two freshmen will climate and assemilate into the fabric of the team. It could be during the first three weeks of practice, of maybe not until after the holiday break. I’m betting one of them will make an impressive debut a la Crystal and Christyn early in their freshman year. [/QUOTE]
