Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2898566, member: 5798"] [SIZE=5]The question was Who will have [U]the biggest jump[/U] from the bench players? Technically, the freshmen can't "jump" yet because they have no point of reference. It's possible that by the end of the season, based on where they started, one of them could have made the biggest jump. I'm thinking like oldude, in that the freshmen weren't here last year, so I confined my field of possible candidates to the returning bench players. [/SIZE] [SIZE=5]I chose [B]Mikayla Coombs.[/B] Since she hadn't quite got the system down yet when her medical condition set in, and she was shut down the remainder of the season, she didn't have the opportunity to grow, learn and get better (in practice) as the other reserves did. [/SIZE] [SIZE=5]That is why I chose her. [/SIZE][B][SIZE=5]She has farther to come than any of the other reserves.[/SIZE][/B][SIZE=5] I'm confident she has, and that we'll see evidence of this in the first 5 games. Christyn has come in and jumped her on the depth chart, so she has extra incentive to ball out. Obviously she does not want to spend another season on the bench. [/SIZE] [SIZE=5]Coombs was an extraordinary talent in HS. She hasn't had the opportunity to fully showcase her talents yet. If she's completely healthy, I expect to see some great things from Coombs this year. ;)[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
