Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 4786925, member: 7093"] I think the key to this season rests with Ice Brady. Paige will be terrific and put the team on her back if everyone else goes cold or loses their nerve. Azzi will be solid but not spectacular ( which we all expected her to be). Nika Muhl will be a force on defense and with her passing, but won't shoot enough to shape the offense. Caroline will be a good back-up, but not a force. Edwards is great, and will dominate, but does not have the body type to control the middle against top teams. And Aubrey is a fine replacement as well. But she went into her shell again once the competition got hot ( or is it the presence of Paige, to whom everyone but Edward seems to defer?). We must have Ice Brady with Edwards, to dominate the middle. Edwards is already double teamed, so Ice Brady must emerge as an "unguardable" star ( box her in underneath, and she steps outside and hits 15 footers). And all the freshman need significant court time. We are not winning anything big with Paige, Azzi, Edwards, Caroline and Muhl playing 30 minutes or more each. The fact is; Azzi and Caroline are not playing close to " as good as advertised," and likely never will ( I don't count big games against mid level competitors). Azzi and Caroline are fine players for the Big East, but not for the Big Dance. Both were underwhelming against NC State. We need a new star. Let it be Brady. [/QUOTE]
