Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3753933, member: 6034"] My take: I'm optimistic that Oregon will be a very good team this season, but not yet. Maybe mid-season or so. Given 8 new players, 7 of whom have never played a college game, as well as the lack of practice time as a team due to all of the COVID-19 restrictions, expecting at this point anything close to the polished machine we saw last year just isn't realistic, and I say this despite the obvious wealth of talent on the roster. The two players who look like they will be getting the most time at the point guard position are (very talented) freshmen (PaoPao and Scherr), Nyara Sabally looks really good (to me) athletically but is clearly rusty after two years of rehabbing, the other freshmen are, well, freshmen, etc., etc. Prince is certainly the real deal, Boley looks like a completely different player (in a good way) from the last two years, and Mikesell will give her a run for her money from outside, but this team is clearly a work in progress, and will be for some time. But once things get sorted, they will be a very tough out. [/QUOTE]
