Couple takeaways:

1. Calls Noelle a true center and says has a lot to learn cause she started the game late
2. Says they expect Reniya to be full go and this is the best shape she’s ever been.
3. Says Gabby has a lot of the athleticism that Indy brought; and is really difficult to guard 1:1
4. Kate is the quickest on the team
5. Achol (and her intrasquad teams) always seems to find a way to win, calls her a winner and said the players always ask which team she’s on.
6. Mentioned really expanding height and athleticism on the perimeter. Expects us to pick up full court D after makes more often.
7. Called out Sophie and Chloe’s bball IQ
8. Said Chloe can play 1-3 and mentioned Sophie has a lot of experience at the 3-4

Summary article

UNC's defense was best in ACC last season, but Banghart says it can be better, more aggressive -

Any team that had to contend with North Carolina’s torrid defense last season should be warned. Coach Courtney Banghart says that her reconstructed roster should be better on defense.

Appreciate the recap!

Thanks. Few nice revelations there. 1- Iwondered about the possible positional abilities of Noelle at C instead of listed PF. To me she looked C from very limited media. There is the need, how quickly she can contribute their. Important impact how soon? 2- Achol is important peace; she will be excellent and dependable. Toomey steps up big-time oor sits. Hoping she connects now back closer that here prospect predictions. 3- Glad renia back; recognized her chigh ceiling from HS media clips. KEY. 4- Kate's quickness. Solid build for PG. Glad to hear the word quickness. GOLD 5- the others are unknown but sound promising. 6- Good words reported from the COACH. Words from a reliable source. Comments of pie in sky from posters here mean nothing, until people step on court as seen vs competition. Heard it all before. Lots of ignores.

Hi nicheel, I would like to make this statement about the transfers that are coming in. Three of them have played in the ACC before. That being Gabby, Sophia, and Chloe C. They are not new but they are two seniors and a sophomore, which means they know what to expect because they have played all the teams in our conference before, they are experienced as CB has stated. They did hurt us when they played against us. They have length, height, and they are more athletic on the wings and they can all rebound and defend something that our guards could not do last year; especially EA and LG.
