Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4391694, member: 73"] We need to be ready for the start of the season. We have Kutztown and Northeaster and then the tuff games early on Texas and NC State. We need to be ready. We may see some rust and thats because its early in the season and we may not be jellin like we would be in March but we must be ready. That means especially our top 6-7 players have to be ready to go and that means on both sides of the ball. We most likely will see everybody play in the first two games making sure are newbies make some shots and get the feel for the game. Against Texas we may have a shorter bench. I will be looking for crisp passing, and seeing who's hitting their shots and who's ready to step up. The questions on who will have jitters and how our newbies adjust to the game will be interesting to watch. Our newbies Lou Ines Patterson Ice and maybe we should add Griff who has been out to the list to watch and see how effective they will be in the first few games of the season. All that relates to counting on Azzi Caroline Edwards Dorka Nika and Amari. As most of you know I feel Amari just may be the surprise this season only because she spent the summer working hard to be better prepared for this season. So some what "IF'S" Who will replace Nika if she gets into early foul trouble or needs a rest? Who will replace any starter if they get into foul trouble? I expect the coaching staff has drilling into the players heads stay out of foul trouble. Other things to look for is The Griffs adjustment coming back and her effectiveness. How will Lou and Ines play in a game like Texas and NC State? Who will be the first and second option off the bench. From reading the threads many fans feel Ice and Patterson will get alot of minutes early on. Against Texas it will be interesting to see how they would perform. Who will be our All Americans this season? Azzi Caroline Edwards??? I would expect them to be in the running. We have a tremendous amount of talent and it may take a time to blossom so early on the most important thing this season is to be Ready. [/QUOTE]
