Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3598697, member: 10435"] Very valid point and I don't disagree and I have concerns too but I have more confidence in Aubrey because of the phenomenal support system she will have this summer and her unique natural gifts. If our first team AA in Meg didn't produce in those games offensively then what about Aubrey this year in the same position? For one, the Big 3 last year won't be the same teams this year. Oregon lost Sabrina, Hebard and Sebally and I don't care how good their recruiting class is touted to be, those three players don't have instant replacements and in Sabrina's case, probably never will. SC lost Harris who killed us with 19 points and 11 assists and Harrigan who went for 10 points and 7 boards. Baylor lost Cox who I thought took over the game against us and was such a talented all around player. The point is that these teams will not be the same either. Maybe better, probably not as good for some, but definitely not the same. We also won't be starting a senior, a junior, two sophs and a frosh. It will be three juniors, one who is a year older than her class, and two sophomores in my starting 5, 4 of whom, counting Evina at Tennessee, are prior starters. Secondly, I don't know how many points we need from Aubrey in those games. With our other starting scorers, and Paige playing a lot also as the 6th man, if we get 10 and 7 from Aubrey like SC got from Harrigan, I think we are well positioned to be successful. It will clearly be a guard-centric team on offense but Liv will also be a large offensive factor underneath. Yes, there are unknowns, and freshmen are freshmen and all, except for Maya in Geno's own words, have had or will have that difficult adjustment period. Maybe Paige won't and that would be great and if we are both accurate about our respective players, Aubrey and Page, and Edwards is a solid contributor, those concerns disappear. For right now though, concerns yes, doubts no. I have no trepidation whatsoever knowing who is at the helm. He has a pretty good track record. [/QUOTE]
