I thought the 6’5” Gulich had the perfect combination of size and speed. Ruth had the extra inch, but wasn’t as quick, but obviously she was able to make up for the with her shot blocking ability. I think Brown at 6’6” has a good combination and Jones at 6’3” has a good combination, but folks, don’t forget Jones isn’t your typical 6’3” with her wingspan. 7'2" wingspan is very impressive.

Since we are all just guessing... Yes, some people have strong opinions..however, I am more concerned about defense than offense. Neither the men or the women are aggressive enough , and I think that other teams / programs take advantage of that weakness. In that case , I love watching the athleticism of Morris and how hard she works on defense ( not always in the right position), but she is definitely focused on her assignments and when she goes for the ball, she has great hands, protects it and can create some great outlet passes without any turnovers. I am fine with Mikayla, in all three areas - offense, defense and on floor ball management. I am a little concerned with some of the other athletes and the distance they give to the oppositions three point shooters and the open shots at the top of the key. IMO we play too far off the ball and are not in a position to challenge or disrupt the shooter like the other teams do to us. So , with the athletes coming in , I would love to see a screw down defense ( length, closing lanes and going for the ball). Yes, more fouls, but it also changes a teams game plan.

If you haven’t seen it yet, go on YouTube and watch the Baylor-OSU game from last year. Watch the Brown-Gulich match up. Despite being shorter, Gulich was much quicker and Brown couldn’t guard her, and Mulkey finally had to put someone else on her. Hopefully one of the new players will be in Gulich’s league.
