Fall practice is a long time from now, but I'm getting excited about next season with our three All-American freshmen along with two other quality players.  With only a few exceptions, freshmen typically have sat on the bench and gradually earned more minutes.  But I would love to see this lineup, early-on.

Point guard-Swain
Shooting guard-Clardy
Small forward-Agara
Power forward-Somfai
Post-Eschmeyer

What I like about this lineup is- size and power along the front line (especially with Nunu and Lara); quickness and athleticism at the guard positions; and scoring threats at every position; something Stanford did not have last season.  Whenever they do play, I hope Kate will not use a short leash and immediately bench any of the freshmen if they make a mistake.  You learn by playing through mistakes.  Alex must get stronger, but she already has good moves on the block and she can also step out and hit from range.

Your thoughts?
