Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3460246, member: 7492"] I think the both [USER=2117]@bballnut90[/USER] and [USER=352]@stwainfan[/USER] make logical points that I would parse further. Holly really masked the issues she created with her ineptness and lack of offensive philosophy-shoot and get rebounds plus her really SOFT OOC doesn't help the RPI. Losing your starting point guard-Westbrook and your starting forward, Collins as well as your other starting guard, Zay Green is a pretty devastating blow to any team. Davis' ability to score also masked a lack of offensive philosophy and skill set that probably didn't exist so Kelli has nothing to even start with. Both the fans and the media overstated how talented this team was coming in with far too much expectation that Horston could fill in for Westbrook seamlessly. Horston has actually done fairly well all things considering. Burrell is showing some improvement and as noted-the effort by the team is evident. IF Davis doesn't come back, that would be a big blow. Tamara Key has been a pleasant surprise so the blocks are there. Massengale to me is still a work in progress. My "optimism" on Kellie stems from how much improved her Mizzou St schedule this past year she had set up and that the team shows an offense. Whether she can recruit up to get the Top 50 HS girls is an open question. We get to find out if Tenn can recruit itself as so many LV faithful say it does. I still don't think this years team deserves an NCAAT Bid given their paltry RPI and Q1 record. That isn't Kellie's fault in my view. [/QUOTE]
