Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3225766, member: 9841"] I’m not ready to be a doomsday prophet but I have some concerns going into the season that temper my expectations. C Bibby, our overall best player when you count talent, mental toughness and production is coming off a major injury. P Taylor, who many are projecting as a starter, is also coming off a major injury. T McCowan is an incredibly talented and physically dominating player. She was double and triple teamed last year on a near nightly basis. On defense her presence alone made our other defenders better because she could clean up a lot of mistakes and gambles. The team also fed off her toughness. If you look at many posts about Mississippi State’s projected lineup next season you get several different picks. Even the most consistent picks, R Jackson, C Bibby and M Taylor all have major questions. R Jackson is a freshman that has never had to play this grueling a schedule and practice with this demanding a staff. Some are even projecting M Taylor will get pushed by the freshmen. Again I’m hopeful for the season. We have top to bottom the most talent and the coaching staff has been very consistent in their success. However I think we will have some growing pain moments this season. [/QUOTE]
