Message: [QUOTE="NycUcWbbFan, post: 5235510, member: 13453"] Now that Azzi has confirmed her return… Geno will have the luxury of a [B]possibly (5)+6 competitive-time rotation[/B] for his [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/confirmed-uconn-pursuit-of-wisconsin-transfer-serah-williams.206443/post-5225779']40-minute mix-match starter-level barrage[/URL] that can alternate between lineups that feature Two Bigs, small ball, Big Lineup (Sarah/Blanca + 2 Bigs&1), etc. [LIST] [*]I also like EricLA’s starting lineup with Blanca; I would go with it if Blanca improves(?) on her outside shot or KK improves on hers; Azzi will be more closely guarded next year. [*]Kellis as second wave pg &2 &3 and Morgan’s status in the early tough OOC schedule complicates things. [/LIST] Early tough OOC: [LIST] [*]First: KK, Azzi, Caroline/Ash, Sarah, Big&1 [*]Second (6-player): Kellis, Morgan/Allie &2, Caroline/Ash, Blanca, Big&1, Big&1 [*]Third: Morgan/Allie, Q, Big&1, Gandy [/LIST] Big East: [LIST] [*]First: KK, Azzi, Caroline/Ash/Blanca, Sarah, Big&1 [*]Second (6-player): Kellis, Morgan &2, 2 of Caroline/Ash/Blanca, Big&1, Big&1 [*]Third: Allie, Q, Big&1, Gandy [/LIST] Assumptions: [LIST] [*]If Caroline reverts to her best form, she starts; [*]&0 The open 15th scholarship will be filled by a telegraphed-need 1-year “rental” Big; it seems Aubrey returning is [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/a-possibility.204791/post-5164404']implausible[/URL]; [*]&1 Bigs: Jana, Ice, Big&0, Ayanna; Ayanna will probably be the last rotation big as she needs next year to develop; [*]&2 Kellis as the second-wave newcomer point guard will be a relative weakness in the early tough OOC; with Morgan’s walking-wounded timetable uncertain, Kellis will play pg alongside other guards with pg skills such as Azzi or Allie (shades of Maria Conlon) or Morgan when she returns. Geno will need to fast-track Kellis’ point guard &3 development for the team’s peak postseason form; [*]&3 Sue was not a point guard coming out of high school. On paper, Geno seems to intend to use Kellis as a point guard. For the next level, Kellis’ best position is probably point guard. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
