    A depth piece but also seems to have some potential.

    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...

    From what little I’ve seen of Alves I think she is far superior to Lety in every phase of the game. Letys size is definitely a factor in her favor though. I just hope between the two of them that they can relieve Parchment from playing all of her minutes in the post.

    I agree. Seems like that staying healthy is a big if every year though. With the 4 guards we have Destiny, Divine, Jasmine, and Aaliyah our guard play floor is high and the ceiling is very high. The same with our wings/forwards, Berry, Cearah, Maddie, and Gretchen. High floor and very high...

    Destiny Divine Gretchen Berry Cearah Aaliyah Jasmine Maddie Manuella Lety. I count 10. There's still 3 spots to be filled. I'm still hoping one of those is going to be someone who can contribute. We could still use some help at the post position.

    I’m almost certain you would have to sit out a year before you would be eligible to compete.

    This is good news. But since the portal closed last night isn’t it assumed that anyone who didn’t enter is returning? Why is there a need to make an announcement? Is there a backlog of paperwork such that we might still hear of new entries even after the deadline?

    Two good questions. I don’t know who if any would be an improvement over Lety and Manuela. And Manuela is such an unknown especially coming off an injury that the 2nd question is impossible to answer at this time too. I’m hoping Manuela is a star and Lety is improved. If we don’t add anyone...

    Tilda Trygger to Washington. 3 good bigs are gone. I wonder if we are even targeting anyone else. Hoping we make it thru today without any one else transferring out.
