Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 3942983, member: 10763"] Next year's roster will be loaded with very good options at all positions on the floor. How to best use various combinations of those players to the most success will be a challenge the coaching staff will much rather have than the alternative. This past year we could have used another consistent, outside shooter - that has been addressed at least twofold. There should be very good situational lineup options available next season to go against small, quick opponents and big inside dominate ones. Geno's teams, historically, have featured more finesse than brute force offenses - great passing and ball movement finding open shooters rather than pounding it inside. With Azzi and Caroline (not sleeping on Saylor) being added to the mix, I don't see as strong of a need for three point shooting contributions from Evina, Nika or Christyn. My hope is that the coaching staff will find ways to expand the number of players regularly used this season up from the 6-7 to 8-10 next season. There will be a great diversity of strengths throughout the roster and with expected jumps over the summer in the games of returning players , there should be an increase in overlapping skillsets. Unlike what some have suggested, I don't think either Olivia or Nika will be odd woman out. Both will continue to provide the defensive contributions they did this season and each's passing skills will enhance the fast paced, constant ball movement style of offense which has been UCONN's trademark. Don't know who will start but expect to be an increased number of players getting a more even spread of minutes. We are lucky to be fans! [/QUOTE]
