Message: [QUOTE="Redux, post: 4919886, member: 11089"] There is validity to your point when you have a bench of the quality & quantity it looked as if we were going to have last Summer. We are not in Kansas any more. This is not a knock on Q, she's progressed reasonably well as a Freshman and there's great upside, but right now the drop-off when she replaces an existing starter is substantial. There have been and will be games when she's "on" but that's something you find out as the game progresses, not a gamble you take at the start. And starting both Ice (even assuming the "new" Ice) & Edwards without first testing the waters on how rough the game is going and how it's going to be foul-called is an invitation to disaster. Geno did a lot of work with the hand he was dealt to come up with this starting team. There may be games in our near future where those 5 play all but 5-10 minutes total! (the confirmation of the "new" Ice being a big variable that might change that) [/QUOTE]
