And looking forward to Emma Risch and Anna DeWolfe adding their talents into the shooting mix. DeWolfe will also add a steady hand to the ball handling, joining Olivia Miles (knock on wood) and u-19 U.S.A. point guard Hannah Hidalgo.

On the development angle, you know the coaching staff will be working with Cass Prosper, as well as KK Bransford (would like to see more of that mid-range jumper).

The bottom line, I think we will be significantly better

next year. Why?

Three point shooting Anna and Emma vs Dara and no Dara. Check.

Transition game, well with Liv we may have already had the best in the country. However, add Anna and Hannah and now it's scary. Check.

Rebounding. No Ebo, more Marshall. TBD, but a lot of our rebounding came from the guards and forwards. This will go as TBD.

Defense. Much improved and should only get better with KK & Cassan now sophomores and with the addition of Hannah. (The potential to be a very effective pressing team is evident. The question is will we press and how often?). TBD.

Turnovers. The addition of Hannah and Anna, the experience of KK and Cassan and the number of returning players will all help. Check.

Quality Depth. Way better! Gone Dara and Lauren. Additions, Anna, Becky, Emma and Hannah. Check.
