Now that we know Joyner won't be available until late December at the earliest, I have to believe the front court starters will look like this:
Center -- Jatarie White or Caron-Goudreau (I meant Audrey-Ann)
PF -- Rellah Boothe
SF -- Ariel Atkins
With Atkins sliding over from shooting guard to small forward, I think that allows us to play more of our guards, and that is the strength of this team (assuming the 2 freshmen adjust well to the college game).
SG - Brooke McCarty
PG - Alecia Sutton (although I expect Chasity Patterson to seriously contend for the starter spot)
I think our success in non-conference games in November and December will be based on how much the freshmen can contribute; we need their scoring ability for sure; and, we need Rellah Boothe to help in the rebounding department. If Rellah and Destiny can improve their conditioning in the next five months, then that will allow them to see more minutes on the court.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I expect us to take (and make) more 3-pointers than any squad we've had in recent memory. If we do, a lot less ZONE defenses against us!
