Imo, this solidifies us in Elite 8 territory.
It will be interesting to see who starts.
Betts
Aarnisalo
In between, it gets tricky. Brown and Donovyn (sp?) are seniors. I don't think they came here to sit?
Maybe Bilic starts at the 2? She better work on her three's. That said, I don't think we have anyone on the roster that can play the 2 that is a proven 3 pt shooter.
I'm convinced, based on nothing but my guess, that Gardiner could have played this past season. She redshirted because we were loaded at her position and we have great need now. She kind of took one for the team. And, she's starter quality anyway.
So, it's probably Betts, Gardiner, Brown, Donovyn(sp?), Aarnisalo?
Bilic can be a do-everything 6th man, similar to Dugalic.
A thing that I like about Brown's stat line is her rebounding. Without having seen her play, if she's at 8.8 boards/game, that's pretty significant. Though, she only got 1 O reb/game.
And, ya, in my prior post about her, I mental-declined her 33.8% 3pt shooting average into a 38% average.
I'd like to see us get a serviceable big for depth. But, mostly, of muuuuuch more importance, she needs to be recruiting the class of '27. Hard.
