How do you see the starting lineup?

I think most coaches prefer to settle on a starting five early in the season. Might Jensen have situational starters, starting Feuerbach to guard Garzon (Maryland) and Rice (UCLA) but start Rodriquez against a team to provide more rebounding? Similarly, McCabe could draw the start to spread a defense. And I could start when a second juggler is needed to pass clubs with Deal, who juggles (in case you missed that in her bio). Abby Stamp also juggles: “I taught myself how to juggle. I got a little set and just read the directions and then practiced until I could do it. Now I have a pretty nice routine going. The hardest part for me is keeping my facial expressions in check.”

Finally, there is Kali Peschel (2012-16) who was a talented ball spinner. I remember her keeping at least four balls spinning, maybe more.

Only juggling skills that matter:

I don't think Sremlow is starting.
Chit Chat
McCabe
Feuerbach
Stuelke
Heiden
Deal will start after the first 6 to 8 games.

There are certainly others in your corner. Just watched the I on Hawks podcast on youtube and he had the same lineup as you. McCabe starting at 2 and Deal taking that spot later in the year. Can't say I agree but they also didn't have ERod in the top 9 and didn't know if she'd play much this year, and I thought that was WAY out in left field.

Yeah I think Erod will get a lot of minutes.

It really doesn't matter who starts. After the first 4 or 5 minutes of the game Deal will be in and probably get more minutes than McCabe anyway. I'm just saying that I don't think Deal will start at the beginning of the year. Maybe after 8 to 10 games then yes. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong no big deal. Just my opinion.

Of course it matters.

I think you HAVE to start a 5 star - especially when it is Iowa. Until we start landing 1 or 2 a year, she must start.

Not sure how many times Kyle and others can say that Deal will start. It seems to me to be pretty apparent that she will start and rightfully so. McCabe brings little to the table besides 3 pt shooting.

That’s pretty significant (3 point shooting) in today’s game but I agree, Deal starts! McCabe is a big time weapon off the bench, stretching the floor for space for our strong post play.
