Since Shauna has stated the emphasis is on maintaining the core players from this past season, I assume they have been well compensated. I am betting we hear more once the portal closes.
Good point. But I was wondering if we have the extra $$ to get another post player.

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.

Are there any good ones left? How many minutes are we needing?
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 then I’m assuming Shauna’s satisfied with what we already have.

Hope Lety gets more athletic. She also need a post move. her defense is OK.

Manuela is a total unknown. She was 7 ppg at IMG academy.

Whatever points that she scores is gravy. We just need for her to bang in the post and pull down a bunch of boards.

I watched her play for Brazil in an U17 or U18 tourney and she was a beast rebounding and scoring down low.....she should be a major contributor next season.........JMHO.............

From Werner’s podcast with Shauna, sounded like Manu and Lety getting mins at 5. Cearah will also provide minutes. but sounded like a Cearah will also get mins at the 4. Berry can play at the 3.
At least gives the team flexibility in the lineup.

Will be interesting to see how Manu has recovered from injury. May take some time or the whole year to get back to normal.
Guyton we saw about half a year to recover from injury, Lety took almost the whole year. Hope they can keep progressing and develop.
