If players are good enough as freshmen and sophomores, they'll play and make an impact.  Going back 9 years . . .

Kia Nurse started as a freshman and made an impact.  Lou started as a freshman and Napheesa made an impact off the bench; both were starters and terrific as sophomores. Crystal Dangerfield played 24 mpg as a freshman and had a serious impact and started as a sophomore. Megan Walker played about 15 minutes a game as a freshman and started as a sophomore.  Christyn Williams started as a freshman.  Nelson-Ododa started as a sophomore.  Aaliyah Edwards made an impact as a freshman.  Paige, Azzi and Caroline have been mentioned.  This season I suspect Ice Brady would have made an impact had she been healthy.  I expect her to make an impact next season.

I have no doubt that Arnold and Shade will be good enough to play and make an impact but they also have very good players ahead of them at their positions.  Not sure about Samuels.   I don't know enough about Jana Elalfy to know if she'll be ready to make a serious impact next season though there will be a need at her position unless someone transfers in.
