From the Marlene Stollings B1G media day presser:

"And I think when you look at us this year, you'll see us play a lot of four-guard one-post lineups. You'll even see Rachel Banham play one of four positions for us."

as someone that's not quite as familiar with the women's game, is this sort of lineup common? and what's our bigs situation looking like with AZB gone to the pros? excited to watch banham have a strong healthy season, hope she goes out with an NCAA trip.

It's fairly common in this age of many three point shooters and few post players. Lisa Bluder uses it to good effect at Iowa. At the post we have Buckingham, Edwards and Lamke-none of whom have played a minute in a Gopher uniform.
