Next year

[The CDR-Ret]

Ever heard of Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Olivia Miles???

Are they in the Portal?

Any would be a good addition to an already fantastic UCONN team....

I know many will disagree with this, but based on all the permutations and combinations of possible starting lineups that I suspect posters will suggest, you could have both Caroline and Aubrey starting or neither one. In the first scenario, Ice and Jana don't show enough early to start, and we could go small with Caroline at the 3, Aubrey at the 4, and Aaliyah moves to the 5. Paige at the 1 and Azzi at the 2.

If someone steps up at the 5, then Aaliyah stays at the 4, and both Caroline and Aubrey could be coming off the bench with Nika joining Paige and Azzi in the backcourt. Even if you assume everyone agrees that Paige, Azzi, and Aaliyah start, and they don't expect KK, Ashlyn, Q, Ayanna, Amari, or Ines to, there are still 10 different starting combinations to fill the remaining two spots with some combination of Nika, Caroline, Aubrey, Ice and Jana, so I think we can count on plenty of debate heading into next season.

I prefer Nika, Azzi, Paige, Aaliyah and either Ice or Jana at C, but obviously that assumes one of the freshmen is ready. The other 4 will be terrific. i would also keep my eye out for any really good C's in the portal that become available.

I would be very interested in reading the post(s) that does not have these 3 (Paige, Azzi and Aaliyah) starting. If the other two spots are not filled by either Nika, Caroline or Aubrey, what new comer starts in front of them? All 3 of them have been starters in the past. The Boneyard as usual will begin debate/discussion on the starters for next season right after the conclusion of the tournament, and continue through the summer. It's going to be a l-o-n-g summer.

Checked in on this thread - and to each their own, but seriously isn't there enough to focus on and celebrate about THIS SEASON and how these warriors will finish out the season. My prediction is it will end in #12, if not they will fight through the final buzzer of their last game.

I personally will check out on this thread until after this season concludes. IMO what our five starters and the remaining five now available have accomplished to this point and how they potentially will finish it out provides more than enough to focus our attention and support on. As Carnac said above, there will be plenty of time to speculate on next season after this season ends , and we will no doubt do so ad nauseam!
