I think we'll be starting CLW at PG, Kiki Rice at shooting guard, Kneepkens at the third perimeter position, Lauren at center and - at least by later in the season - her sister Sienna at the other front line position (PF). That lineup brings the incredibly talented Gabriela Jaquez off the bench as our 6th man plus tall sharpshooters Dugalic and Gardiner as well. Bilic has been considered perhaps the best Euro guard available and she'll be a freshman so she and Sienna Betts as well as Muse will be around for some years to come as well. And Close is still recruiting - the Israeli guard is down to three schools including us and would be another terrific freshmen on this team.
It's just a terrific and very deep lineup with outstanding experience and numerous sharpshooters as well as the unicorn Lauren and her outstanding 6'4" sister Sienna. Defensive quickness is the one question mark I can see and of course refining the offense to take full advantage of kick outs when opponents focus on staying inside to try to avoid death by Lauren Betts. Could be an amazing season (following one in which we went 34-3~)
