Message: [QUOTE="DEpup, post: 4954190, member: 8579"] I have to think the starting line up will be fluid next year with so many good players and the injured players all on different timelines. I think Jana could be playing now medically but didn't want to burn a year. I think she is the real deal so she gets the start along with Ice, Shade, KK, and Paige. I feel like Ice will work hard in the offseason but will be on a short leash with Strong chomping at the bit. Strong though has to learn the offense, play defense, and get into UConn shape. .. I don't think Strong starts day one but not sure Ice has the mental fortitude to hold her spot even though she has the skill. I think Azzi will work her way into the starting line up as she gets through rehab but she just had surgery. Shade will probably end up giving up the spot to her since I think KK gives a look that none of the other guards can do. And gosh, I think the other 6 players with great talent will just be fighting for minutes and it could come down to who has the hot hand or be the right match up for a certain opponent. Foul trouble. With all the injuries over the past few years, we need the insurance and who knows who could get thrown in the fire early. [/QUOTE]
