I have Flanagan, Foreman and Berger penciled in and feel they are as good as any PL top three. Who fills in the other two slots?

The women’s selection process is easier
The men might see three plus freshmen getting 65plus% of the minutes

Until I see the recruits on campus and playing with our veterans, I can't even guess.

Fair enough, but I could make a strong case for Kenney and four freshmen experiencing a majority of the minutes and feel good about the future.

Would like Joe Nugent to have the opportunity to make a leap between frosh and soph years as well as all the other returning players. The coaches will tell everyone what they need to work on over the summer.
If you liked RW'S senior led teams, Singleton, Williams and Nugent are the 26-27 seniors.

Wrong thread to be talking about the men's team.

Flanagan and Foreman guards, Cahalan and Donnelly forwards, Berger at center
Next year will be a challenge for MM.
The more interesting question would be who fills out the 8 player rotation

A pretty good D group, but where will are the points? |

I agree, but maybe Munt instead of Cahalan, need someone to back up Berger. I won't be surprised if they try to add a shooter from the portal. Where is the offense going to come from?
It will surely be a true test of MM's coaching ability.
One thing is for sure, we will see a lot of different combinations on the floor next year, expect the incoming frosh & rising sophs to see a fair amount of court time early.

Cahalan hasn't seemed as comfortable playing inside as similarly sized Berger is. That must be an eternal coaching challenge, players whose dimensions or skills indicate one position but whose inclination is to play another.
On the other hand, we haven't seen that much of Cahalan and she may have rarely been in without either Allen or Berger also in. Any PL team with junior and senior 6'2" players who can move and have a total of five years experience with the same coach before the season begins, is in a strong position.
Four seniors graduating, two incoming recruits. Can any math majors figure that out for us?

When it's close, start the senior. Good unspoken incentive for the underclassmen who aren't Michal Jordan to keep working hard. |

Munt in 23-24: 3 of 7 from 3 and 9 of 32 from 2pt range (.281)
She, as well as many others have to work hard on their offense in the off-season

All of these kids have shown themselves either in HS or at this level to be good to very good defenders, but got to make 3s & need to make their open layups and put backs. |

I still think Munt has potential as a scorer, but has not shown it yet. Hope this year's freshman class are later bloomers; haven't seen much from them so far. |

It's going to be interesting to see what type of offensive set they use next year. I do think both Berger & Meg are much more comfortable playing the high post & both are pretty good passers. |

If you were to wildly speculate on potential new scoring, where would you think it has the best potential of coming from? |

I'll take a shot, Cahalan. She loves to take shots.

I expect significant increases from Berger, Foreman & especially Flannagan. IF I had to guess I'd say Munt, Cahalan & Donnelly are the most likely sources although I think Lewis may blossom. Bachmann had a decent 3 ball in HS, but was best know for her defense.
It's a real mystery. Haven't had any opportunity to see either of the incoming frosh.

I think Donnelly will be important- in 22-23 she played in 32 games and scored 101 pts - in 23-24 she appeared in only 21 games and scored a total of 28 pts
She came in as a good scorer and can help with rebounding next season
Also, unless one of the two rising sophs and two incoming frosh does not crack the 7-8 person rotation with 6-8 pts/game we will struggle

I agree completely, yet also wonder if they try to get a scorer out of the portal
