Message: [QUOTE="GamecockFam, post: 5327900, member: 10934"] TL;DR: I think we're going to be dominant again in the front court with a four deep of (4) Kitts/Edwards and (5) Okot/Dauda. Also, all four players look to be working of their three point shot this off-season. Full thoughts: I think you're underselling Dauda a tad. She is an experienced SEC post player who had flashes of brilliance last year but struggled getting adjusted to Coach Staley's system. I am very optimistic that another season of experience will allow her to play more freely. We forget she was already a great shot blocker at Arkansas (#3 in SEC behind Cardoso and Watkins) and she is also not afraid to shoot the 3. I have a feeling we're going to experiment with 5 out offense this next year based on what I am seeing/hearing our frontcourt players practicing this off-season. Kitts already has a good 3 pointer and Joyce Edwards looked really natural shooting the 3 in 3x3 this past summer. Based on what the players are saying, Okot is turning heads in summer shoot around. They thought they were getting a Cardoso-like replacement but apparently her style is more similar to Jonquel Jones. Based on Raven's statements, she is lights-out from 3, and is not afraid to shoot the 15 footer, while also having a great post game. She basically averaged a double-double at Miss. St. -- 11.3 points, 9.6 rebounds (#3 in SEC last year behind Morrow and Strack) on 65% shooting (#1 in the SEC last year). I really think she'll be starting at the 5 with Dauda backing her up.
