I really liked the "she can leap out of the gym" comment about Dodson.  I thought one of our weaknesses last year was rebounding.  We would play great defense, force the opponent into a bad shot and then given them a whole new shot clock because of an inability to secure the defensive rebound.  On the offensive side, we had one of our best rebounders (McCall) taking a lot of shots vs say this year with McPhee, Carrington or Smith taking the initial shot and the uber-athletic Dodson hopefully there on the weak side for the offensive rebound and putback.  One of the things that made Chiney O such a great player was her amazing offensive rebounding ability.

Agreed.

Kaylee is by far our best rebounder but there she was injured part of the season and her lack of offense makes for a difficult trade off.  Nadia had some moments when her offense was quite good but her rebounding could be poor.  Hopefully they both improve their weaknesses.  But let's also hope that Dodson has the shot AND the rebounding and is a complete player.

Outstanding for Tara, I love it. She seems to have a new pep in her step from last years class and I hope it continues.

This year will be interesting with lots of parts that need to be put together.

On a side note, I happened to go over to the ND board and it seems our long lost poster is posting under the pseudo Babaghanouj, doing the same type of how great are we posts that he did when he started posting here, wonder what they will be like when something doesn't go to his liking ;)
