For Pitino high expectations and low results were his death knell. Whalen was just the opposite with 8 newcomers this year. Whalen has good talent coming in. Pitino does not!!
The one good thing that is happening with this team now is the extended playing time that some of the younger players are getting which in the long run will make this much better by being deeper. Still need that more dominating presence in the middle both offensively and defensively.
Lindsay is recruiting well. Having that 6’3” interior presence is the only thing keeping this team from being very good. I would like to see her experiment more with a variety of line-ups especially when things aren’t working. Scalia can shoot and so can Hubbard. It looks like Strande can as...
Strande has to play more. I’m not a big fan of Smith. She gets too much playing time, certainly more than is warranted. She looks lost out there a lot of the time. Strande would make an ideal backup for Scalia.
The beauty of Katie Borowicz is the fact that she is a POINT GUARD and does what a point guard does and that’s see the floor. That is the quality I looked for in all my point guards.
Cosgriff is not coaching any longer and that’s a good thing. I still marvel at the fact that Bueckers had posters of Whalen hanging on her bedroom wall, but still chose to play for Auriemma. Hmmm?!
