Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 3451711, member: 7953"] One of my concerns with CW's summer was not only the amount of time playing with USA, but the traveling she did all across the world to play in, how many, 3 or 4 tournaments. The summer must have been exhausting. I've been worried about her and was thinking a couple of days away from the gym might be a help. A couple of points when discussing minutes for next year; 1)Remember when the starters were only averaging between 20 to 25 minutes. In an optimistic view of the freshmen contributing, I do not know when we have had such potential depth. There will be minutes to make 8 players very happy and give 10 players significant opportunities. 2) The missing piece to a Natty or 2 in the last couple years is actually on the bench. Imagine what a healthy Batouly would have meant. A real power 4 that bangs on the boards, plays strong defence and gets around 10 garbage points a game. She would let Meg play the 3 where no other 3 I've seen can stop her. We don't know how any injuries will affect next years team. Aubrey will never be in contention for minutes at the 1. She may guard another teams 1, but she won't play the 1 on offence. Anna may get some minutes at 2, but most likely she will be spending her time in the 3/4 rotation. The 1/2 rotation will be split between CW, EW, PB, and NM. Evina should start the year at the 1 and CW at 2, but by conference play, I expect a very fluid 1/2 rotation of players with everyone staying fresh. By January, Aaliyah will be getting max minutes in the 4 slot and occasional 5 if Piath cannot rest Liv. Meg will be the top 3 in the country as I have not seen a 3 that can stop her. As you all know Geno's predilection to shrink the roster for the conference tourney and again for the dance, all the minutes begin to be concentrated into the core 7 players And knowing Geno, my wonderful scheme will all go to pieces when he plays 4 guards and Aubrey .:confused: [/QUOTE]
