-The last month or so, the four 2022s and three returners have been doing open gym on campus against the practice squad guys. They are running with a starting lineup of the four 2022s and Rose at the 5...and are WINNING the games against the practice squad.
I have been to a couple open practices where the practice squad guys were there and I don't remember if they kept track of the score and I don't remember who seemed to be winning. I do remember the intensity of the practice guy seemed a bit limited so I am not sure what to make of this info.
Rose has been working on her midrange and outside shooting since the end of season, so her at the PF is not out of the question to go with a big physical Oberg.
Interesting! not to be too nosey but how do you get this & previous info?
Rose defintely has the athleticism to be a PF I just don't know if she has the extra level of ball handling and shooting she should probably have. If she does that would be outstanding!!!
To be blunt, with the roster we have I dont see a lot of moments where Braun/Battle or at least one is not on the floor. I think Czinano will be a bench warmer with little to no minutes outside of blowouts.
I think you certainly could be correct about Czinano but I also know she had injury issues last year and didn't have a lot of opportunities so I hope I am wrong. She certainly has good size but that is about all I know.
Question Marks: Czinano/Zie (I dont know what can or should be expected from these two at this point)
I expect a lot from Zie this year from watching the video that was shared on the board. She seems like she has phenomenal footwork and comfort with pressure on her under the basket. She led the JC ranks nationally with scoring efficiency and was noted to be a good passer. I realize this is at the JC level so it is certainly possible it won't translate and the sample size is not representative to how she typically responds to pressure but I was nonetheless impressed. I think she starts.
