Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4489842, member: 9844"] I think your comments regarding Geno's use of the deep bench are spot on and it is an area of constant debate among us, but I think Ines is in a difficult position regarding playing time beyond this year despite her development. Ines could improve dramatically and still be the last guard used in what could be a much much deeper guard rotation next year. Lou will depart, Aubrey as a part time guard may or may not, but we have three major additions to the guard group next year. Paige comes back, and KK and Ashlyn are major recruits. I don't see Ines getting playing time over any of those three, or the returnees, although the one year of experience might give her the possibility of getting more minutes than KK or Ashlyn, but I don't expect it. The hard reality is that Ines was a last second emergency pick up, when the portal and incoming freshmen in the US were no longer options. She was needed mostly for this year, with the possibility of playing time in future years, but even more players potentially ahead of her on the depth chart. Hope she does great, and we need her now, but I just don't see a big role in subsequent years, just the reality of increased competition. [/QUOTE]
