Welcome ladies. Looking forward to seeing you all on the courts. I just have a hunch that you are going to raise the bar even higher.
You will enjoy and thrive in this atmosphere and you have everyones support from this point forward!

Thanks for sharing! -- There is no doubt that at this point, any two of Taylor, Kennedy, and Jelena can be on the floor at the same time -- particularly on the offensive end. Due to limited film, Taylor is the only one whose skillset I'm still unsure of, but she, Kennedy, and Jelena all have very different skillsets, but that still allows them to complement each other's games while playing at the same time. Kennedy and Jelena have both stuck out to me as exceptional passers, and that is such an important skill to complement their offensive games that cause defenses to collapse -- and a perfect fit as OSU because they will be surrounded by shooters. Both have a tremendous feel for the game, and get around well in the half court. They also can both extend their game out to the three point line, but Kennedy shoots it better and more often. I haven't been able to see a lot of film of Taylor, and the film I have found the competition appears to be very weak, and her teammates aren't at the levels of Jelena's or Kennedy's. Taylor has always been known for being really athletic and long for 6-3, and skilled with a soft touch. Her combination of size and athleticism will cause a lot of mismatches, whether she plays the 4 or the 5. |

That article was from early May of 2017, so it was one of the last times Taylor had the chance to play with some of the top talent from around the country. She put up great numbers last season, but that was playing for, and against, smaller schools, which may have been a perfect way for her to recover and get used to playing the game again. I like the description of her in the article "ferocious competitiveness" and I believe that she will eventually be the player in this class that puts up the big numbers. I look at Kennedy as more of a 'do everything' type of player, and as the article states they are two talented players who operate differently and have their own unique impact. I think we are going to be pretty happy watching these two in action, as well as the abilities Jelena brings to the floor.
