Well, next year could be an adventure.  Kiana, Amber, Lili, etc. all played a lot as freshmen, but seldom were asked to be point until later in their careers.  Sniezek was point during Kiana's year, and Amber during Lili's first year.  Tara does not have a record of starting freshmen as point guards.

Also keep in mind that Lepolo is reputedly an outstanding point guard too.  ESPN lists Nivar as a guard--not as a point guard--not quite sure why.  Perhaps players do not want to be too typecast during the recruiting period.  In any case, I suspect that we have a couple of years anyway when our point guard will be someone we currently know on our bench.  Lacie could come back, for example, if she has an outstanding season at point this year and if Lexie gets drafted.  And we still have not seen Harriel play, who is coming back from some sort of injury.  Perhaps she will be an outstanding point guard.  And will Jenna Brown come back from injury?  Lots of unanswered questions about next year.

Perhaps someone remembers....I seem to recall the last time we had this situation was when Amber Orrange came in.  Didn't she play some point her freshman year?  Kokenis had more assists that year, but Orrange played a lot as a freshman....what were their two roles?
