So Umeh and Ogden can help us going forward and probably could have helped us much more throughout this season. They need to play more. In fact, the whole starting lineup should be reevaluated. Who's actually consistently deserving of court time.

Well, Umeh and Ogden were our two most highly rated recruits in their respective classes.
So they should be able to help us.
I believe Umeh is getting over an injury. Why Ogden hasn't been more effective is a mystery.
We were at 49 with over two minutes left so I thought for sure we would break 50.
Nada from then on though.

I don't buy into the recruiting rankings once you get past the top handful.  There's no evidence to support that Umeh, who was ranked in the 40's, will turn out any better than Ijiwoye who was ranked in the 50's. Which is where Hannah Jump was ranked. Courtney Ogden was ranked #10 while Milaysia Fulwiley was ranked #13. Just completely off and very unreliable.  I don't think the scouts really watch the girls play. They base their rankings off of things like high school awards and averages, press, past rankings from when they were freshmen, etc. For example, if they actually watched Demetre play in high school, they would see that her lack of athleticism would really hurt her at the D1 level. She looks all world against smaller, average athlets in high school. But now we see how slow and limited she is. The #11 recruit in the country? Please. And Nunu, with a WNBA body and hops, checks in at #37.
