Message: [QUOTE="USFMB, post: 2394036, member: 6162"] Plebe pretty much gave the run down on Rader. The only thing he left out is that she has a wide body and even though she isn't that tall can throw her weight around. Last year we really didn't have anybody effectively to sub for Henshaw. Rader might end up being even better. Our roster looked good on paper, but two of our tallest players were of little use, due to injury and lack of quality. Laura only played nine games during the preseason. Missing her cost us at least a few games. So, having her back healthy and in a leadership position should win us a few more this year. There were two other players who did not play last year. One, Enna P from Denmark, because of a torn ACL and the other took a red shirt. I expect at least the one who was injured to have an immediate impact, if she is really fully recovered. I thought she reminded me the most of Courtney Williams. We had five Freshman last year and only one, Henshaw, stood out. Two others played had limited success. The Juco player we added was of little value and has left the team. This year we have three freshmen. One an american PG and two European players from Spain who were both ranked 5 star by blue star Europe and 4 stars by ESPN. How much each of these players contribute as freshmen is yet to be determined, but we are excited to have them. Having said that, UConn has little to worry from USF. No matter how much better we are, can't compare to what you have. However, you embarrassed us when we played last year. I hope we can at least make the games somewhat competitive. [/QUOTE]
