Thank you Judy for a great article!

With regard to point guard, there is no way to know how genuine the competition is between Van Gytenbeek, Wilson, and Hamilton. My guess is the coaches are genuinely undecided and are waiting to see how they do in practice and early season playing time. Each of them will bring certain advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps we will see more of Wilson and Hamilton early and more of Gytenbeek later in the season? So we don't yet know who the starting point guard will be, but we do know--according to Kate--that it won't be anyone other than those three. Jones was not mentioned in the point guard context. And it shows that Wilson is indeed in the mix, something we speculated about but did not really know.
I was disappointed to learn that Jenna is STILL out. That is a very, very long time for her, and one wonders how strong she will be when she does come back.
