I do think there is an opportunity for Sara James to greatly expand her playtime over the next two years.  Next year's entering class (AY 2012-13) includes no guards and it is unrealistic to hope that all five of our present guards will stay injury-free for the rest of their days.  We don't even know for sure whether Jasmine and Alex will make it back to their pre-injury condition.

Toni and Amber certainly have earned starting spots at the beginning of next season, but we are going to need as many of our 5 guards to be productive as possible.  There has even been talk of running formations with 3 guards, although I think that talk will die down if Beebe turns out to be as good as many hope.  Still, I would be surprised if Sara does not get significantly more playing time in the Fall as Tara experiments with getting the team set.
