As for getting the freshmen on the court, Tara did say she expected a rotation of 10. Even on a deep team like last year the rotation was usually 8 in key games. The first 8 are pretty clear. So who will the 10 be?
1) Jones
2) Brink
3) Lexie
4) Wilson
5) Jump
6) Belibi
7) Prechtel
8) Lacie
Then which 2 of these?
Iriafan, Demetre, Van Gytenbeek, Hamilton, Bosgana, Emma-Nnopu
I presume that Jerome, Harriel, and Brown are out due to injury or competition.
Wilson is going to need help at point guard, so either Van Gytenbeek or Hamilton will have to be in the rotation. That would leave room for only one more of those outstanding players, unless someone off of last year's rotation loses out. Will Iriafan, for example, supplant Belibi or Prechtel? Will Bosgana or Demetre supplant Lacie?
I think the Texas game is going to answer some of our questions.
