[QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5355543, member: 12088"] Like everyone else here, I had a good idea that Sarah was going to be great. But I hadn’t expected that she’d start from day one. And then she did and now in hindsight even us fans can see why. I have to wonder if Olivia will start from day one. I know, bigs take longer to develop, etc. And nobody starts immediately for Geno … except maybe Paige. And Sarah. Could Olivia be another one? Given the options — Jana Ice and Gandy — she could well win the job in early practices. Of course, a lot depends on how much of her potential Jana will have recovered by her third season. That initial injury really set her back quite a bit. If she still plays with the limits she displayed this past season, I suspect Olivia might well win the starting job over next summer. On the other hand, if Jana has rebuilt her game and become a cagey veteran, she’ll be hard to beat. Either way, the frontcourt depth that will support Sarah’s quest for multiple NCs will be formidable, maybe the best in D1: [LIST] [*]25-26 Jana Ice Gandy Blanca Ayanna [*]26-27 Jana Olivia Gandy Blanca [*]27-28 Jana Olivia Gandy Blanca plus whoever Geno gets next. [/LIST] Whatever happens, Geno will have given Sarah & Co all the ingredients to dominate for all four years. Now I find myself wondering who Olivia will have by her side for her final two campaigns. Once you let your imagination run, it gets addictive. The thought I keep returning to is that Geno did his best to build a dynasty around Paige and was thwarted by injuries. Now that he has another GOAT in Sarah, he’s doing the same for her. She got the immense benefit of playing next to the outgoing GOAT, a chance to settle herself into the role and to see what true greatness looks like up close. I can’t imagination a better way for Sarah’s career to have begun. And to extend the thought, Olivia will get a two season long tutorial from Sarah about how to carry a team all the way. I have a feeling she will drink in every bit of those lessons. [/QUOTE]
