Pretty clear that Belibi and Prechtel are learning fast, received praise, but probably won't be big factors until later in the season.
What I thought was most vivid was Tara's praise of Jump. Jump may be a bigger factor that we realized--earlier than we thought. "This is one of the best shooters ever here. She is unbelievable in drills. Her numbers are off the charts. Off the charts."
Anna Wilson got praise, and Jenna Brown has improved by "working on her shot." Yes--we seldom saw a jumpshot out of her last year. That is great news if she becomes a versatile offensive threat.
And all this before even getting to Haley Jones, who Tara praised as we would expect, discussing her versatility and advanced skills.
The one worry is that Tara complains about so many players being "dinged up" with minor injuries. Not a good way to start a season.
