It's pretty impossible to watch this team and not love what Bostic brings to it. Despite being undersized, she fights like hell on defense and is a vacuum rebounding the ball. She has a sneaky good offensive post-game. And she's a very solid passer at the top of the key. She was really the only bright spot last year and she's slotted in perfectly to her role this year.
It's pretty darn cool that SG is getting to coach these players she recruited at Dayton, but missed out on. She's showing she can unlock players' potential and, hopefully, that will continue to translate into recruiting.
Ditto, all of that. Very, very well said.
Bostic is SO fun to watch! I’m awfully impressed with how fundamentally sound these girls are…and that is a huge reason Bostic, in particular is able to do what she does despite being quite a bit undersized for a DI post player. She’s got some definite finesse in the post for sure. But yeah, then also…an instinct/a nose for the ball…and whole lot of heart and tenacity.
Coach Gensler must be one heck of a BIGs
coach; because he’s worked wonders with her as far as footwork, and developing her
offensive vocabulary around the basket.
Other than sometimes doing a mid-air 180 degree turn kind of a thing on her tournaround jumper…as she pivots…rather then starting her turn on the floor and then going airborne. (You can see how that could be problematic for a couple reasons)
AND Yes, I’m picking nits…but little things DO matter.
Anyways, I have never seen her do anything that was even remotely non-fundamentally textbook other than that. It’s quite remarkable!
