The only thing I can think of is we don’t have scring depth at all. Even with the UConn injuries, they still have 3 players that can score 20 plus. Besides Jordan and Rickea we don’t have anyone else.
though it factors in, he never (as far as I can remember) uses a small roster as an excuse tho,,,most coaches would
Exactly this roster have two top 5 draft picks and a talented supporting cast which that 3 scorer can come from anywhere they are very balanced right now with one of the best benches in the nation we are fine..But if we only played seven players. Horston and Jackson would each average 20 per game.
Darby would average 10 per game. And Walker, Puckett, Striplin, and Franklin would average between 5 and 10.
So maybe no one's going to pop off for 20 out of that second group but it's not nothing. Any of them can have a 10-point game with more minutes.
I hope you're joking. Fudd and PB are not equal to Suarez and Key.![]()
All four players live on planet Earth and eat food. Beyond that, the comparison isn't close.Key a four year starter, paint enforcer, shot blocker
Suarez starter, first off the bench when not starting
in your world maybe
I should almost put you ignore for this. But I like reading your posts too much. Comparing Suarez to either one of Paige or Azzi is insane. There is no way someone would rather have Suarez over Fudd or PB.Key a four year starter, paint enforcer, shot blocker

To me indeed the comparison is not equal. But Kellie started Marta,. I didn't. I wouldn't. But that said for this team ran by coach K,, it's a lot more equal than you guys think it is....Kellie started Marta When I never would have done so. But I don't run this team she does and in her mind Marta was a starterI should almost put you ignore for this. But I like reading your posts too much.

Of course, because who Kellie Harper starts and doesn't start is a clear indication of ability, right?To me indeed the comparison is not equal. But Kellie started Marta,. I didn't. I wouldn't.

Sounds good but there is probably less than 2% of Head Coaches in college basketball that would bring a Top 5 player in the country off the bench for over half or most of the season.
We’ll see!
Sometimes coaches do that. But not with a player this good. This is a whole different level.You don't always star your 5 best players, just the players with the best chemistry. Besides, its always good to have a good player coming off the bench.
KJH said postgame the other night she thinks RJ plays better when she plays less. Sounded like she's looking for even less mins for her! Quality not quantity she said. BS I said. I firmly believe more mins for RJ would be added quality. But you're right, she's coach. And I hope to hell she's right.Probably only 1 coach would do that. But she is the coach and maybe she has a reason that I am not grasping at the moment.

Test of whether KJH really believes her theory will be how much RJ plays against UConn. Bet she'll be looking for more then.
