 I think back to Jeanette Pohlen (who now is on staff) making the conversion to the point guard spot. Breaking the press, at times, then was a nightmare but the consistent flow was in tact with Pohlen running the show and in fact, by her final year she blossomed at the lead guard spot and went to on to being Pac-12 Player of the Year — I don't think any of us saw that coming in her first year. 

While I know we can't make a recruit choose us and I know we can't just hand pick who and what year they classify at, it does surprise me that we haven't navigated away from this situation as Tara and crew had to of seen it coming. This just feels so similar to those early 2010 teams that seemed to have all the pieces except a dynamic, athletic guard who can break down the press and get the defense scrambling. Kiana Williams (and many other PGs around the country in recent years) showed just how key that is.

Jeanette made the conversion to a top point guard over a summer, with the help of a personal coach. The needed quantum leap won't happen during the season for any of our PG by committee. It's going to be interesting to see what our coaches do - and it might tip off whether this is Tara's last season. I could see going with Jordan if that's the case - give the PG with the most D1 experience more playing time in her only season to gel with new teammates. That, of course, doesn't help develop a PG for future years. Just speculation...

Highlights of Matharu  5 3s in 4th. Jones didnt contest hard on any of them

I'd have to watch a replay to see if this is the case but it seemed like UT was taking advantage of our switching defense, using screens to get the matchup they wanted. So this may have been by design to have Matharu shoot over Haley.
