Im holding back til after the Northeastern game but I have a feeling this is gonna be a terrific season. My concerns are how will be come back from our injuries and will they be lingering. If theyre not we are gonna be really really good. Yeah we have height and shooters. First of all Lou from what were told can get her own shot as can Azzi and Caroline. We have bigs that can score. I think Ice and Patterson will be able to hold their own early on. As the season progresses they will become two forces. You know somethin? We could win a NC if this team lives up to expectations without Paige and next season would be off the charts when she gets back. But I will wait til after the Northeastern game before I get it going. Im excited really excited about this season and with who we have coming back and coming in next season and oh yeah lets not forget the possibility of overseas players.
He has said this team listens to him.
I noticed that too.
Wait until after TEXAS, at least! I'm confident, but I believe the first month will tell
Your dissection of his speech is perfect, but also concerning for us fans. We want all members of the team to do well, and so we always root for them to thrive, flourish, grow, mature, etc.
Tend to agree. The backup C role was probably Amari's to lose this year, but Ice could take that plus provide PF minutes. Although Amari could play PF she needs to earn her playing time at C, because at PF she could conceivably be the 5th best option (Aaliyah, Ayanna, Ice, Aubrey) before even considering going small with Caroline or Lou.
That's one (there are others) of the reasons he's relaxed this going into the season. They listen to him, do what they're asked (coached) to do, and hustle their tails off in practice everyday. I'm taking my cue from Geno...............if he's relaxed, then we can be also. He knows something.
He's had "juggernaughts" before. He knows one when he sees it. 
The only person that can keep Amari off the court this year is..............AMARI.
Three of his 5 starters with Aaliyah and Dorka being the other two. Every year we try to figure out who the starters will be. It's a no-brainer this year.
I really like the sound of this revelation of a good shooting team. I admit, that I am a wait and see guy. When they are tested against one of the other competitive teams that will appear in the final four, then we can all have our opinions out in the open with more substance. And, please no more injuries in practice or games.
I still would like to have that 7' 0" center from Eastern Europe, Ivana Stepalloverya.
Very old, I agree---7 ft 7 would be OK, ---I'm still a wait and see---er, Texas, NC, if Geno's kids can rack up good numbers on these two , I may take another breath.Three of his 5 starters with Aaliyah and Dorka being the other two.

Qualifier - My prediction for Geno's starting 5 of Azzi, Nika, Caroline, Aaliyah and Dorka is for the Northeastern game only. Things happen. Players impress, players disappoint, perceptions change. No one can predict WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTANTY who the starting 5 will be for the Texas game 4 days later. Geno's starting unit may look completely different come mid-January.
When a 6 ft 5 a difference maker can be, it is not without merit to hope, wonder, and more,to want that 6 ft 5 to fill the role for which she was hired. (I know recruited, but the essence is the same.).
