Why would he change? This is the first year (assuming the freshman develop) that any player can step on the floor, contribute, and not be a liability. We will have the most depth we've ever had and can do things offensively and defensively that we couldn't do in the past due to depth/experience.
Let's just say sometimes some of Bill's offenses have been playercentric, more than some would have preferred.
I agree. This team is loaded with capable offensive players. Audi is a huge mismatch, but we have the talent to make them pay if they aren’t playing us straight up. Balance on offense will make us really good.
Yes due in the past to limited leaders, role players, and skill in many positions. It is also due to Bill's style that such was the case. He has the skill now. Perhaps he has the wisdom. Maybe he has seen his mistakes. However, Bill could or should not, have that issue again. Unlikely, because too many skilled players now want the ball and will take the shot or pass to the open player if needed. One star, two stars? No, it will be a constellation.
At least the recent past. This team reminds me of the Welle, Frese, Francis, Gahan days.
You must be in my generation to refer to Welle, Frese, Francis and Gahan as "recent past"
Not really we know she committed to coming back, so I have no reason to think otherwise. That girl bleeds cardinal and gold IMO.
I think it has been common for players in graduate school to have summer internships. It is possible that is what Emily is doing, but I would think she would be with the team soon.
It's pretty clear she's not doing summer workouts with the team. I'm not worried about anything and have no problem with her being excused from it if she has something more important going on, but she's clearly not there.
In the past there've been rumors of an illness, and having had a high-achieving niece similarly afflicted, I see the signs. At least one connected female fan on this site hinted at these issues early last season. I think everyone here would agree her long-term health and well-being is more important than a fifth year of basketball (or being in Ames for the summer).
