The only thing about it, the starters want to play, if you look at most of the top teams, their starters play heavy minutes, and this team needs heavy minutes playing together to become a better team, we have four starters back from the OSU game.
The more they play, the better they will get, especially in games, practices are a lot drills and skill work, it changes but it can be done wit 9 players, its all about chemistry too, I think this is the first year, where team chemistry will be solid, an adding a player this late can mess that up.
The players know they have to get healthy, stay healthy and take care of their bodies. Dunbar comes back better helps too, all we need is 7 deep, Diamond, Nared and Russell averaging mid 30 mins.
Russell Average 30 minutes a game this year efficient in about 20 min. I can see her average 35 mints, efficient 30, she's an All American.
Nared Avearge 25 minutes a game this year, efficient about 15. 35 efficient an 25-30, she's a second team or 2nd All American.
Diamond Average 27 minutes a game this year, efficient about 15. 30 to 35 mins an efficient 30. She has to average 20 points a game, efficiently a combination of great shot selections and free throws.
Russell, Nared, Diamond, were the three pieces on the court a lot late last year and a lot of subs, were subs around those three, I see them getting heavier minutes this year, and the finally push for mental toughness and All American status, they have to carry the load, big games 35+ plus, not so big games 26-32 minutes, put team away and get off the court.
In the tournament games all three of those players averaging 33 minutes pers game during the NCASS.
Not a lot of deep teams around the country...
