Had a few minutes on this rainy morning so thought I'd analyze our new roster vs. old roster. I looked at the top six players at year end, which means replacing Stuelke and Feuerbach with Carnegie and Whiting. We lose 18.5 points, 11.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists. We gain 27.4 points, 11.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists. The new top six scored 8.9 points more per game. Rebounds and assists were basically even. Interesting that Whiting averaged 1.9 steals to Feuerbach's 1.1 steals per game.

Deal was our seventh player by year end and not included in these numbers because I truly believe Woliczko (19 points, 13 rebounds as a HS senior) will produced more scoring and rebounding than Deal last year. McKenna could easily be in the top six rotation by the BIG season start. I really like how athletic Faison is also, should help a lot on defense coming off the bench. Hayes should contribute more as a sophmore if she gets quicker and stronger.

I only see improvements, up and down the roster with a year of maturity. This team could go 8 - 9 deep.

Carnegie and Whiting both played major college ball so a pretty good direct comparison can be made. Not sure of the defensive levels in the B12 but anyway.

McKenna could be great, her stats were great in these all star and other post season games playing against top competition

We have plenty of guards to drive and dish and hit treys, a top center, and I think Hannah will be replaced ok by committe

Jan will probably run a 8-9 rotation in the BIG.

Heiden and Hays
Woliczko and Houston
Whiting, Faison or Houston
Carnegie, Stremlow
Wright, Stremlow

Taylor and Journey may not start but they are so versatile, they will probably get a lot of minutes.

I'm kind of leaning toward Jan starts Houston and then Mckenna minutes and whether she ends up starting will be determined later, unless her play from now till Nov in practice demands otherwise. I think either could play the 3 or 4 so there will be opportunity

I think the biggest difference between next year's roster and this past year's roster is proven offensive versatility and depth. The starting 5 was very, very limited offensively coming into this season. McCabe couldn't score inside the 3 point line. Hanna couldn't score more than a few feet from the basket. Kylie couldn't score period. Neither Kylie nor McCabe were ball handlers either. Were it not for Ava and Chitchat having breakout seasons, scoring would have been a real struggle. Carnegie, Stremlow, Whiting, and Journey are all players who have shown that they can score at multiple levels, and McKenna, while just an incoming freshman, has shown that aptitude as well. I'm looking for a much more dynamic offense this coming year.
