Message: [QUOTE="YKCornelius, post: 5328451, member: 9864"] Rooster, great analysis once again. Thanks for doing this. I agree Virginia will be interesting to watch develop (or not). My thought as to why Coach Aguagua-Hamilton brought in the six "bigs" is because of the questions/concerns that each of them have. Said differently, each is an insurance package against the others. A risky gambit for sure. If Weimer can somehow bounce back from hip surgery (a huge "if"), I think she will be sharing the post duties with Amanze and to a lesser degree Smith. Right after Weimer, Ring is the next biggest wild card in the post. If she can make a sophomore leap, watch out. At 6-5, she is the future so I suspect she will get a lot of minutes. Interesting that in Amanze, Weimer, Smith and Arigbadu are all back-to-the-basket players. Between the four of them they only attempted four threes in 270 games. With a guard oriented offense, one would reasonably expect that to continue. Romi Levy is not a post player by any stretch of the imagination. Although tall, she is extremely thin (think Dewanna Bonner) and shied away from contact her two years at USF. She is a slasher who likes to shoot jump shots and the three when open. A very, streaky player who didn't shoot well the entirety of last season. You are right that there is a LOT to gel in Charlottesville. If everything falls into place, a .500 record in conference could happen - and would certainly be impressive. [/QUOTE]
