Really hope we see all the players come back. But now, we, like everyone else, watches the transfer portal. Sometimes you wonder about the freshman who are not from the region, who spent the majority of the season on the bench. Hope they have it in them to stick around and improve for a larger role next year.

We need better guard play next year.  Otherwise we will waste the brilliance of Iriafen with a 22-12 season.

Where is that better guard play going to come from? I had high hopes for Harriel at one point but she seems to have regressed as both a shooter and a ball handler. Bosgana not consistent enough. Ogden and Clardy still have a long way to go and I wonder how much they can improve. Lepolo seems to have lost all confidence in her shot.

We’ve had so many elite post players but we haven’t had a guard who could score off the dribble since Candice Wiggins.   We certainly try and recruit those kind of players.  We recruited Watkins, Hidalgo, Clark, Bueckers and Ionescu and Plum before them but they never seem to choose us in the end.  I wonder if they feel our offense is too structured.  And yes I am not optimistic things will change much next year.

Unfortunately it's the same conversation we have every year. You can add Hartley and Rice and others to that list. 

Kiana Williams was a great example of how well it worked.
