The comparison is mainly that just because they are nicely
rated recruits does not mean they will automatically play alot. Some people post that because she was a HS all-this and all-that, she is automatically going to light the world on fire. And being a PG, she will be trusted LESS. She might have more opportunity, but she will also have far more opportunities to make mistakes. And odds are, she is not going to be on the floor as the true PG if Nelson, Wenzel, Sufften, and Wells are more likely to be in that role. She might be in the "shooting guard" role.....
Wenzel and Baker are going to be seniors next year. Nelson is a junior. The coaches are likely to try and maximize that as this is the year that all of that can culminate in breaking into the top 3-4 of the ACC with a big season...before they leave and their roles go to either younger players or transfer addition.s
