Message: [QUOTE="LoTrader, post: 3121639, member: 8404"] Oregon State will be much improved next year if Kat Tudor returns healthy. OSU coaching Staff will have their post rotation locked down by the time PAC-12 play begins. Rueck has a lot of quality candidates for his post rotation, but Rueck will select his post rotation based upon: 1. Individual & Team Defensive skills, 2. Rebounding, 3. Post to Post & Post to Perimeter passing, 4. Screening, 5. Scoring the ball. And I am not worried about OSU's post players scoring the ball next season. If Kat Tudor returns healthy, the PAC-12 race, and, the NCAA Portland Regional, is between Oregon & Oregon State. I believe Stanford (without Alana Smith) is 3rd in PAC-12. There is not a team in the PAC-12 who has 4 guards/wings like Oregon State: Mikayla Pivec, Kat Tudor, Destiny Slocum, and Aleah Goodman. Oregon's loss of Cozorla is a very BIG loss. Cozorla was the heartbeat of Oregon. Granted, Stanford has solid guard play as well, but losing Alana Smith is a very large loss. Oregon State's roster is full of experience, and skills. It will come down to the post rotation that Rueck and his staff are able to configure. This next season, I believe Oregon State's post play will return to the OSU post play of the past. GO BEAVS BTW: I think most everyone has Texas A&M under-ranked in 2019-2020 season. I would have Texas A&M in the top 6, and UCONN in the top 10, but not in the top 5. [/QUOTE]
