Hate to have all our eggs in one basket - Manuela coming off knee injury

Cearah is really a stretch 4. Irene needs to get a a lot stronger.

Really would like to see a center in the transfer portal or maybe older international player who can contribute immediately

I like to think that the reason we havent brought in a big is because Shauna is confident that we have enough talent with Manu, Lety, and Cearah to get the job done. As it stands now I see a 9 player rotation with Lety getting very limited minutes. Divine is going to be key. Can she live up to her reputation coming out of high school. If so that gives us 4 All B1G caliber players along with 5 others who are plenty good with the potential to also be All B1G.

I assume the 3 roster spots will eventually be filled. By whom I have no idea.
