Blanca is the big question for me. What does it mean if she cracks the starting lineup as a freshman?

One thing it would mean is she’s proven something to Geno in practice. And if she’s done that, she’d also have proven it to her teammates. I suspect none of them would want to feel like they have a starting spot for any other reason than this. If Blanca starts she’ll have their support. One of the effects of Geno’s coaching style is that it acquaints players with themselves: selfless team play requires a bit of self-knowledge. I expect this also makes winning even sweeter.

If Blanca starts she’ll have leapfrogged over Morgan, Allie, Carol and Ash. When any of them rotates in for her during games I’m sure they’ll congratulate her and play their hearts out both to support what the starters have accomplished and to supplant her as a starter in the next game. And if they succeed, she’ll congratulate them and continue the competition for that spot. This is the best kind of camaraderie.
