Regarding starting

[Tonyc]

We can be pretty sure Azzi Sarah and Serah will start. The rest will depend on alot of things.
Health is number one. Our injured reserves will come back when? How long will it be for them to get back up to speed and be effective. It will take sometime. Hopefully we wont have any season ending injuries.

Second our underclassman and newbies. How fast can they adapt to play within Genos system.

Third our roster players who are healthy. Ive said this before. We are bringing back a nucleus who's defense controlled games and our defense turned into our offense. Unlike other teams who have lost key players they no longer dont have that nucleus. Its tuff to operate and run an offense when your playing alot of skilled players who havent played together. We will continue to win and should win big because of our nucleus which plays a suffocating defense.

Our Big 3 this season looks like Azzi Sarah and Serah. Their reputation and efficiency will demand attention from opposing defenses. With that said we have other players who can make an impact. We have so many weapons and their development will be fun to watch.

We have alot of talent and this season we have much more athleticism and speed. That will be very difficult to defend. Because of that all will contribute in their own way. With Paige gone and Azzi and Caroline graduating after this season, we will need more outside threats. We will see who can step up and be that person(s).

This team is rich in talent and is gonna be pretty much a steamroller even against top teams. We saw what they did last season when they were healthy. I feel as a team we can be even better. We can be better because we have some many more players to step up and make plays.

For many seasons many posters talked about lack of rebounding and height. Not this season. Add in their skill sets, ability to create, speed and athleticism and we have on heck of a team.

This is gonna be a season to remember and with this roster for many seasons to follow. For Geno and Chris is must be fun to continue to do what they love to do and watch their players become what they have become. Dream Big

I was moved by @PacoSwede's observation. If Storrs becomes blowout central, we may get bored and stop paying attention so intently.

As for who starts and whether "game changers" should come off the bench, I'd only say games change in many directions. Start KK and Kash [yeah, I went there. Deal with it.] and you'll get an opponent who is exhausted by the end of the 1st quarter. Then your game changer is to bring in the big lineup and pound them into submission. Start K9 and Blanca, you probably get the same result. Who does Geno need to start to get a different result? Maybe Ice, Jana and Ayanna along with Azzi and Blanca. Deal with that, opposing teams!

I like the way you think!

Can't speak for others, but I'm feeling thoroughly "initialized" from this thread. How many SS's do we have? Who is KP? Had to sit and think who MC was. Sheesh.

[Yes, I've used initials many times.]

Once again telling folks to use names instead of initials, please. This isn’t the first time the admins have said this

I can foresee Sarah Strong averaging about 37 minutes per game. The remaining minutes will be distributed among the rest of the team.

Paige only averaged 30.2 minutes a game this season, so I don't see Sarah averaging more than that. Especially with the two transfers that they have coming on board.
