There's so much Somfai can do for the team this year. She could be a real mismatch for our opponents at the 3.
Can't wait for the exhibition tomorrow night (though it looks like it will only be radio sadly).
Excited to see Somfai and Agara playing together at the 3/4. The can both shoot the 3, drive or post up so there is a lot of flexibility to take advantage of defensive matchups. Could be Eschmeyer at the 5 or Umeh posting up, setting screens and positioning for rebounds.
i expect mary ashley stevenson will also share the 5.
I expect Kate to start Mary Ashley Stevenson, Lepolo, Clardy and Somfai, but I'm hopeful we'll see significant minutes from Swain and Eschmeyer. Will Kate choose to follow her mentor and pull the freshmen as soon as they make a mistake, OR, will she let them play and learn on the court?
Stevenson is close to, or she's reached her ceiling; same with Lepolo and if Kate (choosing experience over potential), continues to start those two, I don't see us doing much better in the ACC than last season. Swain can be a brobdingnagian difference maker and challenge the opponent's defense. Once Eschmeyer gets minutes and touches, we'll have a better presence in the post. Along with Nunu (an all-ACC performer) and a much improved Clardy, our future rests with the freshmen. We cannot afford to lose Somfai, Swain and/or Eschmeyer in the portal, so they need to be heavily in the mix in every game.
