Cooper, Spear, Spencer, Puckett, Whitehead. In a real game it might be Latham over Puckett, not sure. Latham is sneaky good in many areas down low. Puckett is probably a starter all year though. That would be the best balance of speed, athleticism and skills. Spearman and Hollingshead will no doubt get some starts when size is an issue, One of them may carve out a starter role.Who do you all think will start? Sorry if I missed this in one of the other threads.
My 5 :
- Cooper
- Spear
- Spencer
- Whitehorn
- Hollingshead or Puckett
Just for clarity, Rooster1 - Whitehead, Whitehorn; "Copper," Cooper; it's all good.Copper, Spear, Spencer, Puckett, Whitehead. In a real game it might be Latham over Puckett, not sure.

Spear is the rightful heir to the team alpha tag, but Cooper is anxious to show what she can do, and Whitehead is used to always being the alpha type. I don’t know which ones start, but all three will be fixtures in the lineup. Those are the three alpha types.
Thx, I should have caught the spelling of names. Latham is coming in under the radar, imo. She played/started as a true freshman on a good Syracuse squad (tied for 2nd in the ACC) with two alphas already in the starting lineup. She will be great in a fast game plan, super athletic. Just needs to keep improving her offense and I think she will in the new system. She is athletic.Just for clarity, Rooster1 - Whitehead, Whitehorn; "Copper," Cooper; it's all good.
Also, I don't think you intended the Latham-Puckett comparison as a slight to Sara. Not at all. But, Sara does have about eight-dozen "real" games on her resume, and probably about five-dozen starts. She's pretty good. Having said all that, along with Dark Phoenix, KnoxLikeUs, and perhaps others, I think that Alyssa Latham is an incredible talent, and a probable All-American in the making. So, with you all the way about Miss Latham.
Oh, and I vaguely recall your saying that you schooled at "West Point?" Thank you, sir! Thank you very much!
there will be different starters each game.. one or 2 different onesCopper, Spear, Spencer, Puckett, Whitehead. In a real game it might be Latham over Puckett, not sure.

I could see that, Cooper is going to surprise most, she is the most athletic on the team, everyone will see.Alyssa Latham steps on the court as a sophomore and will be one of best two way forwards in the SEC. She had some dominant performances last season as a true freshman and was the best player on the court in big games against Notre Dame and Alabama.
Talaysia Cooper is really good and will be an outstanding player. I believe the staff will gradually transition her to becoming a starter by bringing Coop off the bench in her return to the court. I look forward to seeing Kaniya Boyd and Talaysia Cooper on the court together.
Starters: Spencer, Spear, Whitehorn, Puckett, Latham
Reserves: Spearman, Cooper, Boyd, Hollingshead, Wells, Darby, Ayodele

DW Vindication or Indictment incoming….Totally agree! Idc what people say, these exhibition games are a small litmus test of what’s to come for the season. I was the same last year when we played CN and let them score as many points as they did, I knew at that moment we weren’t going to be very good and literally referenced it several times throughout the season.
I actually think we’re going to come out with our guns blazing! I have a feeling this team is going to be very good! These women are about to shock us all this season! I’m actually excited!
