Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3119162, member: 7093"] Geno has a system and he sticks with it. You earn minutes on the court by what you show in practice. In fairness, Geno gave a decent amount of time on court to the bench players, but no one ever excelled. No one showed him that they could be a reliable court presence in a big game. Mikayla must have showed the most talent, but it was exclusively on defense. And she made a number of poor decisions, resulting in loss of possession. So what he learned, after all, was that the bench was not good enough to help. Next year, as of this moment, there is no bench at all. Molly, Batouly and Kyla are what they are.....average players at the AAC level. They could play for Cincinnati, Memphis or East Carolina. And still not win often. Mikalyla may have more native BB skills. But she is not a factor on offense, and ( practically speaking ) almost doesn't require covering. If that doesn't change, she is just a faster Molly and less of an offensive threat. Not good enough to matter. I assure that Geno will soon be off to Latvia or Croatia to find some international talent. Otherwise, next year's team will be fortunate to make it to the round of 16. [/QUOTE]
