Message: [QUOTE="jonson, post: 3553308, member: 6034"] I think this is likely the case: environment seems to have been the key factor, as it was for all of the incoming recruits. (Tayor Chavez has several vlogs that provide some insight here.) There's also a bit more information about the transfer here: [URL="https://247sports.com/college/oregon/Article/Taylor-Mikesell-Oregon-Womens-Basketball-Recruiting-Kelly-Graves-Ducks-basketball--147222650/"]Mikesell explains Duck commitment, talks immediate eligibility[/URL] Since Boley's position/role was held before she arrived by Lexi Bando, who was a 5'9" guard with a 3-point percentage well into the 40s, it makes sense that Mikesell would be a candidate for that role once she becomes eligible. If so, her major competition among the other newcomers imo will be Parrish. Chavez and Shelley will likely start at the standard guard positions, with PaoPao and Scherr, both of whom bring more to the table imo than Mikesell. their backups--although if PaoPao is as good as advertised, she may end of splitting time at the point with Shelley. So that's 7 "veteran" players for 3 positions in 2021-22--one senior (Chavez), two juniors (Mikesell, Shelley), and 3 sophomores (Parrish, PaoPao, Scherr), with (for now) an incoming freshman guard (Bigby). Too many for me, but apparently not for the staff. [/QUOTE]
