None of that tells me how they will be used in OUR rotations.

I am pretty sure Sophie B and C Clardy based on their stats from last season will be in our top 8 player rotation. However, will Sophie play at the 2 or 3 or 4 maybe even 5.

IMO Kate at PG, Nyla at 3F, Akot at 4 and Toomey at 5. That leaves 2G who can help bring the ball up giving Kate a break but can also fill it up from the corner like Lanie Grant.

The obvious player for that job is Clardy or Kelly if her shot comes around.

That said Sophie Burroughs I think is one of our best shooters and has good size and needs to be on the court. I am not sure yet how CB plans to use her. Is it 2-3-4 or what.

As far as Gabby W goes does she play backup PG or 2G (she only made 1 of 12 from 3 last season at UVA. Maybe she plays 3W like Indya last season but that takes Nyla Brooks off the court and maybe Sophie Burroughs if she and Nyla share the 3 spot.

I can see Gabby being a defensive specialist but she will have to shoot better from 3 to get a lot of court time.

All of this is why I need to see them in action wearing a UNC uniform. It cannot happen soon
enough. Still not sure if Ciera T will be ready to play or if R Kelly has found her shot.

Just to put it out there Noelle Bofia impressed me a lot. She has to limit her fouls but I would make sure she got some good court time.

CC will be a the point coming in for Kate and Gabby W will be at the two backing up who ever starts at the 2. As you stated it could be CC or RK who starts at the two or SB could be at the 2 with her shooting and height. One thing is for sure, we will definitely find out on November 2, 2026. I agree about Noelle. I liked the combination of her and Akot together on the floor. Also, I can see her playing the 5 and Toomey moving at the four.

We must make our FT's. If one would have made half of them against Maryland in the scrimmage, we would have won the scrimmage. Also, just like the men, we have to do better on the boards. Hopefully with GW, SB, CT being back this will not be a problems anymore. Go Heels!

I think this years team with all players playing will be better than last years team FT percentage wise. I hope I am correct.

3397 I agree with your post 100% We have lots of options for line ups and playing
combinations.

I’m pretty new to this board but you guys do know that Gabby played against WNBA teams last summer right? She had 16 points and 7 rebounds against the Lynx (one of the best teams in the whole league) and I believe 10 points against the Sparks. The Lynx coach said afterwards that Gabby will definitely be in the WNBA and said that no one on her team could guard her and she’s only 18. Her comp is definitely not Grace Towson but maybe more like Indya Nivar (but a better scorer) as I’ve heard CB mention multiple times. I believe this video is from her dad’s instagram account. She looks like she’s going to play a ton to me.
