Expectations?

[Kceasthawk@77]

How the coaches expect to get through the season with eleven players is absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe get JadaG back. She certainly should have "fresh" legs.

??? Look at the roster the last several years. How many of the last two or three players on the roster EVER played a single minute of real basketball? Jada, KJ? Practice isn't issue either with the mens gray squad to practice against.

Is hard to get excited about preseason polls but it's good to see them getting some respect.

None of us want to see McKenna used at a 5. I just threw that possibility out earlier due to the possibility of injury or Layla drastically not meeting expectation. It’s foolish not to have a back up plan in our back pocket. If, unfortunately, that should happen they could use her and go with the 5 out read and react with her at a 5 and Journey at a 4. That would be tough to guard but certainly creates some defensive issues. They are both regarded as great rebounders so I’m not sure how that would play out. Just bored until the games get going so I’m thinking in print.
