What happened with all of our sophs?...I hoped for more from Iriafen, Demetre and Bosgana....Yes, Prechtel got very little run this season, but that was because we were so stacked inside, not because she wasn't and isn't a capable player.  

Let's look at the #s:

Prechtel 2021/2023 (using 2021 as that was the year she was most effective)
Minutes 427/241
Pts/40 16.2/12.4
Blk/40 3.1/2.4
3pt % 37.1%/30.5% 
Def Rtg 73.2/80.5 (lower is better)
PER 25.8/19.3

Iriafen 2022/2023
Minutes 215/424
Pts/40 10.4/8.9
Reb/40 13.2/12.5
Def Rtg 80.3/86.1 
Starts 0/27
FG% 57.1%/53.1%
PER 36.8/27.1

Demetre 2022/2023
Minutes 147/457
Pts/40 14.7/11.5
3p% 33.3%/33%
Def Rtg 86.5/91
PER 16.0/14.3

Bosgana 2022/2023
Minutes 73/250
Pts/40 8.8/16.8
Def Rtg 84.1/82.8
PER 6.1/24
3P Made 0/17 (32.1%)

Here's my thoughts:

Prechtel. It wasn't just that Prechtel was playing less. In the time she had she was far less effective than she had been. Her 3pt % was noticeably worse. She went from a "sharpshooter" to below average. Perhaps it was because the 3 point line was moved from 20'-9" to 22'-1 3/4" last season, or perhaps it was because our offense was less effective and she had fewer non-contested 3s. I assume it was more the former, because last season she actually shot only 27.9% on 3's.  

Iriafen and Demetre. Both declined in bigger roles. Both had their moments so I think they still have a lot of upside.  I'm glad Demetre's 3pt % didn't decline.  

Bosgana.  Took full advantage of her minutes and was a completely different player this season (much more effective).  However, she still only played 250 minutes total. She's young (younger than some of our frosh). I'm hoping for a breakout year for her next season.

By the way, despite perceptions, Brink didn't really improve this season:

Brink 2022/2023
Pts/40 24.6/24.3
TO/40 3.0/3.8
Off Rtg 117.3/116.7
Def Rtg 72.5/72.5
PER 39.8/39.1
FG% 55.6%/48.6%
3pt% 35.5%/21.3%
