Predicted starters for fort hays state:

BALL KNOWERS' POLL UConn vs Fort Hays State Starting 5 | StrawPoll

And it is interesting because there is a pretty clear consensus in the vote.

Shade, Chen, Paige, Strong, and El Alfy.

Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this. Didn’t feel like it warranted a thread of its own though.

I think you got that right, although Ice could be given the nod over Strong just in deference to her returner status. But will see Strong early, and perhaps more total time than Ice, as they will want to see her at both PF and wing. Jana not likely to be over-used, so Ice will get her time but many minuets available for KK and even Z and Q

Paige = 10

Shade =10
Jana = 10
Ice =10
Chen =10

Rest = 0

I see you’ve gone with a tall lineup

I went with Kaitlyn Chen over Sarah.

Maybe Chen over Shade, but even that’s iffy, over Sarah is a joke. Chen’s there to cover for Paige and that’s it.

What does "cover" for Paige mean?

 

[Skeets]

I'm not going to change my picks but, if you want to bet on a dark horse how about Ziebel? If she can shoot the 3 in a game like she did at first night Geno will be hard pressed not to have her on the floor. Paige, Azzi, and Ziebel? I've never seen a team that could put 3 shooters on the floor like that.

I count 4 with Sarah.

And if Caroline can come back?

Based on all the talk of how raw and rugged Jana has been, I am pretty sure she won't start. I'm thinking the lineup will be
Kk
Ash
Paige
Sarah
ice

With Kaitlyn being one of the first subs. I think Azzi will replace Ash in December. I think Jana will play well but will have a short leash. A lot of Genos talk regarding Jana has been similar to the way he talked about Dorka her first year but maybe a little less glowing. I was at the UCLA game that dorka kinda broke out and had like 16 and 16 in a must have game. But Geno was super close to pulling her even in that game.

 

[yhun89]

Paige-10
Shade-10
Chen-10
Sarah-10
Jana-10

KK is on limited minutes according to reports to let her foot heal. So I don’t expect her in the starting lineup.

 

[NycUcWbbFan]

Kaitlyn: 10
Ash: 10
Paige: 10
Sarah: 10
Jana: 10

Rationale: Here

Only a 3 for Ziebel, I thought she was very good. Certainly better than Brady and Jana. Eight, two, and two for a frosh wasn’t too shabby.

0 to all others

Unfortunately, for her, she's behind some pretty good players with her skills and she doesn't have the same attributes as Brady and Jana.

I might point out Qadence had 12 points, 6 RB’s, and 3 assists.

Unfortunately I think you’re just plain wrong and as the season progresses she will become one of Geno’s top players.

This is all about starters for the first game of the season. I believe all players Geno recruits have the potential to be stars. And I believe that she will not be a disappointment. I didn't rate Caroline, Azzi, Aubrey and Ayanna at all because they are coming off injuries and have almost have no chance to start in the first game of the season, but they too could be top players as well.
