[QUOTE="Krush 2010, post: 1501842, member: 740427"] I think Kennedi has shown flashes of physical play...but she's only 1 player. She's a freshman so I hope to see her continue to grow and be more physical. Blazek is more physical than Andrews, but she lacks some of the burst and touch that would make her a go-to player. Andrews struggles with physicality and is a streaky shooter...both from 3 pt range and layups. After those 3, I'm not even sure who else plays "up front" which makes this our most shallow area. I guess Robbins is considered a forward but she doesn't really play physical at all. Nancy hasn't played a single minute in her Illini career as far as I can tell so I'm guessing she's not a solid option either. illinifaninwi I agree that this is nowhere near a tournament caliber team. Lower 1/3 of the Big Ten even. All I'm saying is I think there is more potential here than the past 2-3 years. I have no illusions that this roster is suddenly "good" though. Losing Scott, one of our better recruits in the Fahey era and a solid contributor last year...along with the seniors who graduated, had me concerned that this years team would end up worse than last year.
