I'd say 90-95% of it is about her defense (granted that was a bit of a problem this year and defense is very important). However, she's not exactly a slouch on the offensive end, either.

Two years ago she was just 0.6 ppg behind Ogunbowale, the team's leading scorer, with 15.3 ppg (Turner's scoring). As a sophomore she led the team with 14.6 ppg. Even as a freshman, she averaged 13.8 ppg (2nd on the team).

It will be amazing to see what Turner can do fully healthy with a team returning so many players from a National Championship team.

to work on her shot and low post moves.

Since we finished on the highest of notes, it's easy to forget some weaknesses that surfaced over the course of the year. One was low post defense, both against strong low post scorers and against guards/wings who could fearlessly attack the basket if they got by our guards. Bri's return changes all of that.

recovered and picks up where she left off when she was injured. I'll be interested to see if Danielle Cosgrove can play low and high post positions. Danielle Patterson should improve her strength and find a place in the rotation. Will the arrival of her high school teammate Jordan Nixon help her to find some shots?

Yes! Oops, what is "Yes"? No one would pass the ball to Danielle last year. Now, that most likely was by design, but having a friendly face on the floor can't hurt Ms. Patterson's game. Muffet has gone out of her way to announce we will have a real point guard who will get a lot of practice. I assume she means Nixon. That's a great observation, MPG, and, hopefully, can only improve Danielle Patterson's confidence.

As you say, if Mikayla Vaughn gets fully recovered, she will be pushing the best front court in college basketball. She was simply spectacular in her introduction.
