Corosdale will also be a key part of breaking the press. She's shown her skills in that regard in her Freshman & Sophomore season. If Taylor Jones is even a little advanced from this past season, the shooting prowess of Ellie Mack & Aleah Goodman, and the passing abilities of those two, plus Corosdale's passing should contribute to an interesting inside-outside open type offense. Emphasis back on quick ball movement instead of (a few too many) desperation drives to the middle. Corosdale won't be dribbling the ball regularly to break the press. She may remain in the backcourt to set screens for Goodman as Goodman or another OSU guard attempts to clear the backcourt. I agree that quick ball movement on offense will be more vital next season as there won't be an OSU player on the roster who has shown an ability to drive and attack the paint consistently off the dribble. Consequently, expect opposing defenses to get up in the grills of OSU players and overplay the passing lanes to try to deny entry passes in to Jones. OSU coaches have done well in recent years in instructing the offense to look backdoor to punish the aggressiveness of their opponents. Backdoor cuts will be even more prevalent and necessary in '20-'21 to keep opposing defenses guessing and out of our passing lanes. True Corosdale role on press break not a dribbling one - but instead to provide backcourt spacing and advancement via pass. I’m pretty optimistic about heady play being a successful weapon v. the press.
