I didn't take notes but will give my impressions by memory.
Overall: Good three point shooting. Poor rebounding. I could hear Kate giving instructions on the side line "Box Out!"
The freshmen:
Clardy turns out to be an excellent ball handler, a good three point shooter, and she was quick and moved her feet on defense. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her.
Agara is strong, athletic, moves like a guard but in a 6'2" muscular body. I thought her defense looked sound, and she had a couple of emphatic rebounds. She also seemed to finish well around the basket.
Ogden did not make the superstar impression on me that I somewhat expected. I'm not sure if she got enough time to inform me very much one way or the other.
The returners:
Jump does look better on defense, and she was swishing treys as per usual. On the one occasion when she moved right to shoot, she missed--the same issue when creating her own shot as before. However, she also showed confidence on her tear-drop floater and so maybe that midrange shot is going to be her go-to when she is blanketed on the perimeter.
Bosgana got on a Jump-like tear later in the game and hit a few treys. But otherwise it is too soon for me to say how much her game has changed.
Demetre's shot looked very good, not only the treys were dropping but also that perfect turn-around mid range jumper that is completely unstoppable. On defense she looked solid--I think--but I was not impressed with her rebounding.
Lepolo looked about the same to me. She hit a nice trey when left open, but she was not otherwise especially aggressive on taking her own shot.
Iriafen did not look good at first, but by the end of the game she was much improved. She finished around the basket, snagged some rebounds, and hit a short jumper. She also was on the receiving end of a High-Low pass from Brink that she made good.
Brink was playing, putting to rest any worries about her health. She has clearly worked on her three point shot and hit all net, but she was taking the ball down low in triangle position and converting more often than not against the guys. No worries there.
Papadaki, Green and Harriel all got some time. I thought Green distinguished herself the best, running point for the practice players. But the freshmen look awfully good and so it may be unlikely that these three see a lot of action. We will see.
Interesting in knowing others' impressions. Only so many places you can look in a short scrimmage, and it is easy to over-generalize based on short impressions.
