Guard situation for next season

I'd say Hunter and Shuler are both combo guards. Watched a lot of Hunter playing with Cal Stars on the EYBL circuit and she's a very, very good passer. She led both of the tournaments in assists and there were some really good point guards in those. We'll see if she's quick enough and has a good enough handle to play PG in the Pac-12, but she'll be a playmaker whether she plays PG or SG. Shuler has solid size for a PG and a strong build. She has a nice handle and decent quicks. I'd guess she may take some time to adjust, but I like her skill set.

Would be nice to get a good, experienced PG to replace Bendu.

The problem is that there is no real way to predict the impact of Shuler and Hunter. If Rueck is unable or unwilling to land a PG in the portal and neither freshman pans out immediately, then the situation is potentially far worse than waiting for Yeaney to blossom at the spot this season.
Rueck absolutely has to land a decent PG in the portal and preferably one with more than one season to play.

I'm thinking Martha might not really be in Rueck's plans all that much. And she played one minute against WSU and seven against UW. She did not play against UO or Stanford (not sure if she's hurt or just stuck on the bench).
Either way, she's a backup level PG in the Pac-12 at best. So that means relying on two freshmen, which again is a big risk. 

Yeah, it makes the remaining Pac-12 games and tourney all the more important for the Beavers.
I would hope that the prospect of playing with TVO, Gardiner and Beers would be a pretty good lure for point guards who enter the portal even if the Beavers fall short of the NCAA Tournament.
If OSU falls back into the type of play they had against UW and WSU, then we probably are looking at a lot of problems for the program (but I think that weekend was an outlier for the Beavers).

It's interesting that you mention Destiny---it was so much fun watching her run the team at breakneck speed when she 1st started playing for us. Whenever she got the ball and also Mik---they would charge up the floor beating the other team down the floor and get easy buckets or get us into our offense before the other team was set---no looking over at the coach for a play---they were smart enough to run and call their own plays a good portion of the time. Of course this style of play was also going to result in a few TO's from going too fast at times but it got overall good results and wins and was alot of fun to watch. Unfortunately SR gradually ratcheted Destiny down to his slower style of play even benching her at times when she would still push and maybe get a TO here and there. I don't blame her at all for leaving and I think you are right that it will be tough to get a pg like Destiny to come play in SR's system.

I disagree and I'm probably in the minority here but I thought Destiny was a good defensive player. Her quickness allowed her to quickly shift her feet & body to stay in front of even the quickest of opponents and prevent them from driving to the basket around her....many times I was amazed at how she was able to cut off an opponents move to the basket....I thought at the time wow--no-one else on our team could have done that!......and she always hustled back on defense.

Destiny the defensive ace is a new one to me. But yes, just like Destiny, Bendu also has a tendency of pulling herself out of defensive position going after steals. Talia actually has more steals for the season, but she never gets out of position. She just gets steals in the flow of the defense, ie when going by another player while following her player and she flicks out her hand to knock the ball away.
