And we have big wings who can shoot the three and score in a variety of ways in Demetre and Bosgana.
That leaves Van Gytenbeek and Harriel as the primary ball handlers in the '20-'22 classes and the primary defenders against quick opposing guards. More ball handling and elite guard defense and probably 3-point shooting will be a key focus in the '22 and '23 classes.
To expand that even further, for one glorious year, the 2022-23 season, our frontcourt will be Brink, Betts, Iriafen, Prechtel and Belibi. If we don't lead the nation in blocked shots...
And don't forget for the next two seasons, we will still have Haley Jones working her magic and hopefully having many repeat performances like she had in the Final Four games
Good point, not to forget Prechtel and Belibi. Opponents forget them at their peril, as Louisville certainly learned in the tournament. And having bigs who can have an outside shot is a major plus, and we certainly have that with Brink and Prechtel. In the video, I noted one outside (not 3) from Betts. Would be interesting to see if she develops more of that, but even if she doesn't, she's going to be a force, and what a combination with Brink!
