RebKell's Junkie Boards

[summertime blues]

My Lady Vols just got hit with a double whammy.....the retirement from basketball of Andraya Carter, and the loss for this year of Te'a Cooper. This led me to start thinking about who Holly might start this season, or who I might start if I were Holly. So....here's my lineup card:

PG Jordan Reynolds
G Diamond DeShields
C Mercedes Russell
F Jaime Nared
F Shacquilla Nunn

First off the bench:
G: Alexa Middleton F:Kortney Dunbar

And since I'm also a JMU fan and get to see them a whole lot more, here's my card for the Dukes (we are sure gonna miss Jazmon and Ashley!):

PG Logan Reynolds
G Precious Hall]
C Kayla Cooper-Williams
F Amber Porter
F Da'Lishia Griffin

First off the bench:
G: Hailee Barron F: Tasia Butler

Let's see yours.

I agree with your lineup for the Lady Vols. For my other team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, I think it will be:

PG: Kelsey Mitchell
SG: Asia Doss
SF: Shayla Cooper
PF: Stephanie Mavunga
C: Alexa Hart

First off the bench: F Tori McCoy, G Sierra Calhoun, G Linnae Harper (once she's eligible)

[bucks4now]

I would think Cooper will be coming off the bench, she's always been a spark.

[patsweetpat]

My Bruins, my guess:

G Jordin Canada
G Kennedy Burke
G Kari Korver
F Mo Billings
F Laj Drummer

[ClayK]

Cal

PG: Asha Thomas
Wings: Mikayla Cowling, Courtney Range, Penina Davidson
C: Kristen Anigwe

Off the bench: G frosh Mi'Cole Cayton, W Ma'ane Mosely, P frosh Celeste West

With the transfer of Gabby Green, there's really no depth at the point, which will be an issue, most likely.

And like so many teams, perimeter shooting will be an issue.

By the way, does anyone know if OSU's non-conference schedule is out yet?

[dtrain34]

New Mexico State (lowly mid-major but two-time WAC champ )

Aggies lost two senior starters and one senior bench player who started as a soph and junior.

PG -- Tonisha Childress (Boise xfer) JR
G - Moriah Mack (SR First Team All-WAC)
G -Gia Pack (FR Arizona Gatorade POY)
F - Tamera William (SR)
F - Brianna Freeman (SR 2014-15 WAC POY)

[Colerr]

Rutgers

G: KK Sanders
G: Tyler Scaife
G: Shrita Parker
F: Aliyah Jeune
C: Victoria Harris

[Meesh98]

South Carolina start on the season
Pg- Bianca Cuevas
Sg- Allisha Gray
Sf- Kaela Davis
Pf- A'ja Wilson
C- Alaina Coates

Mid season I expect Tyasha Harris to take Cuevas starting point guard position

[Fighting Artichoke]

Notre Dame

PG Lindsay Allen (SR)
SG Arike Ogunbowale (SO)
W Marina Mabrey (SO)
F Katherine Westbeld (JR)
C Brianna Turner (JR)

Other contributors include freshman Jackie Young and Erin Boley, redshirt freshman Ali Patberg, junior Mychal Johnson, and redshirt junior post Kristina Nelson. Notre Dame only has 11 players on the roster this season, due to the transfer of Taya Reimer.

[myrtle]

Stanfort:
Sniezek
Roberson
Samuelson
McCall
K. Johnson

Bench: McPhee, K. Johnson, A. Smith, we can always hope one of the Frosh surprises us.

[dinkytown]

Minnesota

G Carlie Wagner
G Allina Starr
PG Gadiva Hubbard (frosh)
F Palma Kaposi
C Annalese Lamke (just because she did last year and went to the bench after a few minutes)

Wagner seems like the only lock. Joanna Hedstrom maybe in the starting line over Hungarian Kaposi or Starr. Kenisha Bell, transfer from Marquette, will start as PG when she is eligible 2nd semester. Bryanna Fernstrom, transfer from Iowa State will start instead of Lamke when eligible 2nd semester.

[NoDakSt]

Michigan State.

Brandais Agee and Tori Jankoska will anchor the backcourt and scoring. They tried Morgan Green at pg and may do so again but Tori Jankoska is more adept.

Jenna Allen will take the role of Jasmine Hines and Notre Dame transfer Reimer will comprise the front court.

I think a couple of frosh will figure prominently. Taryn McCutheon and Nia Hollie could figure into the lineup. N

I might as well take a crack at it

STANFORD

Post: McCall
PG SNezak
Off Guard Samuelson
SF A Smith
F Mc Phee

And while the PAC12 is much more competitive the titlee still runs through Stanford

[bcdawg04]

Fun. That's a tough question for my Dawgs, though. When I look at the roster, I think we will have some size issues this upcoming season.

We return 3 starters and we can expect them to start again:

G Kelsey Plum
F Katie Collier
F Chantel Osahor

Ideally, the rest of the lineup would be:

G Natalie Romeo
G/F Heather Corral

Their experience would be invaluable, but Romeo's eligibility for this season--last I heard--was not decided, and Corral hasn't played in more than two years after multiple knee and shoulder surgeries. But Corral is pretty much the only player on the roster with any experience who can play small forward.

I don't think we start one of the freshman, at least not in the beginning. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Ruiz's rehab (ACL tear in January) is going really well and say that this is our most likely starting lineup:

G Kelli Kingma
G Kelsey Plum
G Brianna Ruiz
F Katie Collier
F Chantel Osahor

Contributors off the bench will be anyone who is healthy, which will mostly be freshmen. Junior guard Mackenzie Wieburg, a former walk-on, will see minutes unless the freshmen prove to be more than ready. Our other 2 returnees--F Hannah Johnson and McDonald's All-American C Deja Strother--have been battling injuries, so we don't know what to expect from them. If they are healthy, or remotely healthy, they will contribute.

[noleman]

Florida State

PG: Leticia Romero
SG: Brittany Brown
W: Shakayla Thomas
PF: Ivey Slaughter
C: Kai James

Bench: Imani Wright (baylor transfer), Nicole Ekhomu, Maria Conde, Atyanna Gaulden, Jasmine Walker

Plenty of depth this season similar to the 14-15 team that went to the elite 8. I would not be surprised if Wright started over Thomas as Shakayla has had much success off the bench.
