Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5341893, member: 12088"] I know what you mean. Joyce is a tremendous talent but Dawn seems to have hidden her light under a bushel last season. Joyce came off the bench even after Ashlyn’s injury left Dawn with a depleted front court. I’d have expected Joyce to start for most of the season, if not all of it. I like Chloe’s game a lot, but starting her and Saniya together just looked like an odd decision and put Chloe in an odd situation in the games against teams with athletic front courts. But who am I to second guess Dawn who’s one of the greatest coaches? Last season seems like a strange outlier to me. I mean, after years of having the most athletic teams in D1, she was left with a smaller frontcourt. And yet Dawn built a dominant team and was a clear favorite to get to the Final Four and even the NC game all season. This season, will she be able to start Joyce and Okot together, maybe with Chloe at the wing and Dauda coming off the bench? That would start to resemble the teams I remember. [/QUOTE]
