I am hoping that both Nation Williams and Ivanna are looking at what Kate and NB are doing. I hope they are both saying and visualizing what this team could be with them on it along the side of Kate, Nyla B, Micah, and Ryan. I knew if I was being recruited by UNC this is what I am thinking and visualizing in my mind. This is getting me excited just thinking about it. Go Heels!

Also to add a thought. Kate IMO is no doubt to me our best player. When the shot clock is running low she is most likely going to be the one getting the ball trying to force up a shot to beat the 30 second shot. This will have a negative effect on her FG%. Still she is no doubt where you want the ball in those situations. Just worth noting.

It will be interesting to me how we play with a full and healthy roster.

A few random thoughts. I heard it said Sophie 6'2 made amazing progress playing in the low post. Will she play some in the post, we know she can make 3;s from Syracuse days.

C Clardy looked to me in her few minutes on the court vs MD to be playing in R Kelly's position. JMO but to me with Kelly struggling that is the position we need her help.

We need to rebound better. If C Toomey is not ready in Paris who gets the call? Blanca,
Sophie at 6'2 or Noelle Bofia 6'4 and very athletic, can dunk but is inexperienced?

It will all depend on match ups IMO. If Oklahoma has players that play a style like Davidson did then we might have to go small ball to defend the 3. If they are like Maryland and aggressive athletic than I can see SB starting at the four and Akot will be at the 5 if CT is not able to play. Remember, Oklahoma has the number 1 PG from last year's class Chavez. So her and Kate are going to neutralize one another. That is going to be a very interesting match up at the PG position.

That is the matchup that I definitely want to see, Harping and Chavez. This will be Primetime, and a great exposure for the Carolina women's program.
