I find it fascinating how some folks are jumping to conclusions about players they 1) have NEVER seen perform in a college game or 2) haven't seen their improvement or regression since last year or 3) do not know how recovery from injury is proceeding.
It used to be at this time of year one of the bestest aspects of the BY were the reports from our on-scene spies who would go to the pickup games and workouts and have some good (or at least tantalizing) firsthand info. I ain't seen ANY of that this year. Maybe all our beloved BY spies are gone.
Courtney, Gabby and Sadie are total mysteries at there current level, so any comments concerning their roles on the team are worthless. Kia we've got some exposure to playing international ball but not a whit of evidence of how she fits into the team.
Its nice to hear positive reports about Morgan's health (and Gabby's), but I sure as hell aren't going to believe any of them until I see the proof on the court -- we've been bamboozled by hopeful medical reports many times in the past.
So, basically, the only opinions that can be backed up at all concern KML, Kiah, Breanna, Moriah, Saniya, Briana and Tierney -- it's a safe projection the latter two will be support players -- and to a limited degree Kia. There's a lot of enthusiasm for her, but it's entirely possible Sadie, Courtney and Gabby are all better.
We can all have opinions. I think those based on some evidence is a bit more convincing.
