In reply to: BGI article on how Dara Mabrey fits with ND's future.  posted by MPG


I've cut and pasted his section on possible line-ups for next year, beginning with one that includes Dara (if her waiver goes through) in the starting line-up (see below):

- Dara PGt
- Walker, Gilbert at Guards
- Brunelle at Forward
- Vaughn at Post

If no Dara, he's got

- Gilbert at PG (with Hayes or Gilbert helping out)
- Walker, Brunelle and Vaughn filling out the lineup.

But who is the other guard? Peoples?

"What is next year’s likely starting group?

"If Mabrey is granted eligibility — “not likely,” she told the Shoresportsnetwork this Thursday — then we could see her as the top point guard option, allowing Gilbert and Walker to align in the wings, Brunelle at forward and Vaughn as the post figure.

"For now and while recovering from shoulder surgery, Peoples could be an excellent top player off the bench in a number of capacities, and still average 30 minutes per game like many of the starters.

"If Mabrey has to sit before using her remaining two years of eligibility, then Gilbert might be utilized the most at the point, with maybe Peoples and Hayes — depending how ready she is — taking some of the onus off her.

"The starting quintet then would be rounded out by Walker, Brunelle and Vaughn."
