I have been anxiously awaiting the official news release for the next season schedule (which should be soon) to begin this thread. However, my patience is 'growing thin', so I have decided to start this thread with a discussion of who will be the starters as well as who will be the main subs and some additional general comments.
By position:
5> Megan G (Captain)
backed up by Hannah S/Chase C
4> Chase C/Hannah S
backed up by Carly M/Amanda O
3> Amanda O/Jinaya H
backed up by Christina B
2> Makenzie M
backed up by Alexis S/Zion S
1> Kathleen Doyle
backed up by Alexis S/Makenzie M
I think there will be mainly a three-player rotation at the 4 & 5 positions with Carly getting some minutes at #4. The '3' could be a toss-up/split duty position. Another scenario would be for the #5 to be for the three 'bigs' and the 3 & 4 to be split between Carly, Amanda and Jinaya. Lastly, Alexis should get time rotating in the 1 & 2 positions. I believe Zion S will join the team and possibly add depth at off guard, especially defensively.
Also, I hope the seniors (and Carly too) each have a 'career' year. It is impossible to know what will happen with Tania, but I think she could be a co-captain. Also, I would like to see Zion sit out this first year (if possible) to completely rehab her knee and earn four years on scholarship, but she might be needed if Tania takes a red-shirt. Does anyone think that Christina B can play the 'off-guard'? Finally, I think that the new player from Spain (Paula Valiño Ramos) is a good candidate to red-shirt.
I enjoy everyone's comments. Go Hawks!
