Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 5328957, member: 9403"] Thanks for the write-up! Our talent is going to be considerably better than last season, among other things because we now have multiple true post players who can post up inside (plus a healthier Umeh). What killed us last season was that Agara is naturally a shooting forward who can play post, and so she had to because Demetre was not great inside, Bosgana was a W, and Mary Ashley Stevenson and Courtney Ogden are just not tall and athletic enough to match up against the other team's big. Umeh was our only true 5 and she was injured much of the season and so even when healthy, her conditioning really limited her minutes. Agara will now be able to play back in position with Umeh + Eschmeyer and Somfai all spelling at the 5. I think we bring in much more talent than we lose, plus all our returning players are a year wiser, so I would expect the product on court to improve - if it doesn't, then it's a worrying sign about our coaching staff. I'm not quite sure what we'll do with Lepolo, but setting that question aside, the tandem of Swain + Chlardy in the back court will allow us to push in transition and and Nunu, Somfai and Eschmeyer are all fast posts. I'm excited to see that lineup and I think we will be able to play 5-out much more effectively now that we have more post players who can still shoot the three ball. [/QUOTE]
