I really hope Nyla Brooks takes a giant leap her sophomore season. She has all the tools and all the talent to be a star and she has shown flashes during her freshman year! (probably my favorite player on the team lol) Nyla and Harpring and a healthy Reniya and the newcomers buying in to their roles (Burrows shooting, Clardy being a dog on defense and dishing, and Akot grabbing boards/being a physical presence ) is what will take us to the next level. Toomey and Blanca staying healthy and putting in the work this summer is also key. They need to own that PF/C spots and carve out space in the post and hold it down. I think they have so much potential for growth going into next season.
I feel like our ceiling is higher next year but lots of new/uncertain pieces tbd. I would feel a lot more optimistic if we landed another high impact post like Nunu Agara or Big O, or Sarah Strong (lol, manifesting) but damn, I don't know if we have the budget for that! Ugh, is it next season yet?!?
