Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 3998446, member: 11020"] As I said in an earlier thread, Geno will not replace anyone in the starting line up until a few games are in the books. Just because we have a multitude of great young players, it doesn't mean that the girls starting now are not. Geno is loyal, and respecting returning players, especially upperclassmen, will continue until the others show that they deserve to be elevated to the starting line up. Aaliyah will start on the bench, but will play major minutes as a replacement for ONO, as well as playing along side her. As I said, she will play major minutes, possibly more than ONO as the game goes on. The other vulnerable position player would ne Nika. Nika is the perfect point guard, but her reluctance to be an offensive threat might give way to Azzi. As with Aaliyah, Azzi will play major minutes, but we do not know what kind of player Nika will be this year. Her only flaw has been shooting, but the question is how has it improved, and what will her mindset be as far as being more aggressive offensively She has spent the summer in Storrs, probably working on her shooting. She will definitely start initially, but her continued status as a starter will be contingent on her shooting skills. If nothing changes, Azzi will replace her in the lineup. [/QUOTE]
