Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 4416777, member: 11252"] Initial thoughts from preseason across wbb. Starting lineups - 1. Thought it was interesting NC State started Madison Hayes. I always liked the energy she played with and thinks it makes sense. Nonetheless Saniya Rivers may start the season on the bench which is interesting. 2. Stanford started a freshman not named Lauren Betts and gave Kiki the nod at center. Kiki is really talented but it's interesting to see how they alot time with their bugs 3. I liked that Hannah started in the Miami game along with a lot of their seniors. They got a lot of young talent and Hailey on the bench. 4. Shout-out to Saylor P for starting and getting some minutes at Arkansas in their opening game. They didn't start Jersey W, but she played well off the bench. They are an interesting team 5. I know South Carolina is probably experimenting a lot in a preseason game but I think it's interesting they started Bre Hall and is probably confirmation Zia will start at point. I really don't think it's going to be that hard of a transition for her. In fact it's probably good that she can prove she can handle both guard spots at the next level I actually really didn't want to be that long winded on this post so other quick musings. Adia Barnes and Jade Loville seem like a great fit. Barnes has really spoken glowingly about her in each press conference. Abby Meyer is who I thought she was. Once again I know it's preseason but she may be Maryland's best player. I doubt she struggles at all transitioning to a power 5 conference. It will be interesting to watch Utah play this year, but they seem to be just as good if not better than the team that gave teams problems last year. Lastly I'm a bit concerned about Oregon. They got a tough schedule and a pretty new group. Idk it just kinda feels the past couple seasons the pressure of being a big time program has gotten to them and they don't seem to be having too much fun. But this is pure observation and speculation [/QUOTE]
