Absolutely love Fennelly's honesty, candidness, and the annual glimpse into his coaching philosophy.

Sounds like the team had a good Summer teaching each other, which will pay off early in the season.

Not much has been said of Schroll, who could be the surprise of the frosh group. Coach Fen. said she was a "dynamic athlete" who can play "multiple positions." I hope that means she can score from anywhere, inside or out, and also hope she can stay healthy, as she had injury problems in high school.

I think you might be right. She was getting more press and hype before she got hurt her junior year. This team promises to be a lot of fun watching as they mature this year.

PG- Aus
SG- Williams
SF- Bolte
PF- Zimmerman/Poppens
C - Prins

-Stuckey will come right off the bench but WW has more offensive skills and can handle the ball pretty well so she deserves the starting spot
- Zimmerman and Poppens i'm assuming are pretty equally skilled so they will both get plenty of playing time at the 4 plus they will also get mintues at the 5 because Prins cant play 40 min/game
-Gen Lightbourne we all know will get to play but who knows how much? Im guessing she averages around 2.5 ppg and 3 rpg
-Schroll is a mystery lets hope for the best
-Cole is are back up PG so she'll pry see around 10 mpg
- Florzak i think can be our spot up 3 pt shooter she'll be excellent when we need 4 shooters on the floor able to knock a three down
- Mossman was injured and put her behind so im not sure what will happen with her playing

"Aus at the 1, Williams at the 2," Maybe its wrong stereotyping, but, I think of the 2 as a "shooting guard" and the pg doesn't have as much opportunity to score. The point can score, and Aus will, but, Williams didn't show the scoring ability last year which I expect of a 2. Aus at point is probably to hold down turnovers. I liked the 80 point games of years gone by, I don't expect to see that this year.

The main reason Aus is at 1 is that BF tried Ezell at 1/Aus at 2 for the first half of last season and it really didn't work well at all. The offense clicked better when Lacey was 1 and Ezell was 2. Lacey is much better when she is running the show.

That said, last season the 2g would run point on occasion to give the point a break without taking them off the court, and I'm sure that will happen this season as well. Williams and Stuckey are both capable of running point on occasion.

I recall BF in the press conference sayin Williams has a good chance to score because our opponents are going to zone in on Aus and Bolte out of the back court which should give Williams some good looks at the basket she averaged 2.1ppg in about 11 mpg... all she need to to is hit a few more shots a game most likely a couple threes and she'll be close to about 8 ppg which should be just fine if Bolte and Aus give us 15 ppg or more
