Message: [QUOTE="visitor123, post: 3935497, member: 1735"] I think the majority of people in this thread are predicting Muhl to start so I'm pretty sure everyone appreciates what she brings to the table. And by the way, just because you don't start, it doesn't mean you're at the end of the bench playing mop up minutes. A rotation of 8-9 contributing significantly throughout the regular season is pretty commonplace. However, I don't see how Azzi Fudd isn't starting by the middle of the next season. We're not talking about another highly touted recruit, we're talking about one of the most highly touted recruits of all time. She was probably the most highly touted recruit as a sophomore in high school, her main competition was Paige Bueckers! Come on, we think Muhl is going to start over her just because she's had an extra half season of experience starting and that she brings intangible qualities that are a bit overlooked? Muhl is a great glue player, a player every winning team needs, but she's not guaranteed to start. Paige was used this year in the off guard position precisely because we lacked consistent outside shooting and scoring. If you watched her at Hopkins she is possibly more comfortable as the primary facilitator rather than the main scorer. She's almost somewhat of a reluctant leading scorer. That makes Fudd the perfect backcourt mate for her. Last year many of the same posters said Westbrook was going to come off the bench, that Anna Makurat and Griffin were going to start. Or that Paige was going to come off the bench because 'freshmen don't start' at UConn. My prediction is that by mid-season, the starting line up will be Paige, Fudd, Williams, Westbrook, ONO if Westbrook stays, and Edwards to replace Westbrook if she leaves. First off the bench are Edwards, Muhl. Ducharme, Griffin, Makurat, DeBerry, McLean, Poffenbarger are going to be fighting for the rest of the minutes. I suspect 3 of those 6 are going to get very few minutes, especially if Westbrook stays. [/QUOTE]
