[QUOTE="GILL-INOIS, post: 2065319, member: 747818"] To have a good player on the roster and make her transition into the program as easy as possible. We have 4 starters already set and Green specifically has said she wants more size in the frontcourt. She knows you need some size down low to do any damage. I have no problem if Wallace can come in right away and play. It also means Green didn't land a bigger starting 5 which is her #1 priority. Clark, Bueckers and Watkins are also elite players who play different positions and also were ready to start and dominate from day 1. Bueckers (20 pts/gm), Clark (26 pts/gm) and Watkins (27 pts/gm) their FR seasons. You have 4 starters back on an experienced team. What are you expecting from Wallace? Listen to some interviews with Green. She has specifically stated she wants more size down low and knows the transition to the collegiate level is slower for some than others. Last two #1 recruits were Watkins in 2023 (start every game) and 6-7 Betts in 2022 (no starts FR year). High school All-American doesn't always mean instant success or playing time. [/QUOTE]
