Regardless of who starts I think our team will be better than this past season.
We lost a good center who helped us greatly. We also lost 4 backup guards who were not perfect but gave us depth and options.
However, we have 7 returning players including 4 starters and 1 rotation player. All have gained a year of experience and a year of playing together. That's huge.
We have gained 2 centers, which will help with depth. I can't say how they'll play in the ACC but I trust Charmin's judgement.
We have gained 3 guards. I expect Shannon to play much better as a senior than Puff played as a freshie. Carly brings length and 3-point shooting and Ruby brings high-level international experience.
We have gained 2 forwards, which should address a weakness from this past season.
The addition of Shannon will give us a chance to win close games we lost this year. I think the 2 posts will be better than Sakima, Claudia and Naya. The addition of Zara and a healthy Taylor will be a big plus. I think Carly and Ruby will be really good 9th and 10th players that will contribute positive minutes.
