I think Bob is right about who will start.  Tara has a very strong preference for maximizing experience at first and letting the less experienced players play themselves into more and more minutes.  I'm not 100% sure about Demetre, though, vs Prechtel or one of the frosh, but she is probably more likely than anyone else at this point. 

The other factor is to keep in mind that starting means a lot less on a Tara coached team than it does on most other teams.  This is not a Geno team that plays the starters for as close to 40 minutes as their endurance will allow. Remember Sara James who routinely started and played about 7 minutes per game by the end of her career?  Tara has many times started people who have experience and can help set the tone, but then replaces them liberally during the game with less experienced players who may be healthier or have more talent than the starter.  A better question to ask is "who will get the most minutes?"

As for who should start, how the heck would we know?  Until we actually see the players play, it really is not possible to have an opinion about how much the sophomores have improved or how refined the freshmen and Harriel already are.
