Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 4080014, member: 1673"] This is a question without a certain answer, no matter how certain people are. If groomed to be the starting five, we know for certain that some players certainly can play for a top ten team. There’s no doubt about Muhl, because she started for a top ten team last year. There is little doubt that Juhasz, a first team Big Ten player, could also start for a top ten team, maybe even be an anchor for one. Griffin has started for a top ten team on occasion. Could she be a reliable starter if circumstance forced Auriemma to groom her as such. Certainly not a given either way. That leaves the freshmen Fudd and Ducharme. This is the biggest question mark because they are only freshmen and, given the rest of the roster, one would have to be s star, not just a starter, right from the beginning. Once again very uncertain but, given what we just witnessed with Bueckers, along with Fudd’s reputation, not out of the question. We then only have to look at the ND championship team to know Auriemma only has to develop one of the remaining four to be a top ten worthy bench player. Actually, I would consider this a certainty. Three certainties for a top ten team: Muhl, Juhasz and the best bench player. Griffin, Fudd and Ducharme are all uncertainties, but not entirely out of the question. [/QUOTE]
