Yes, but...>:)

First, I agree. But, we are not going to be driving left and right. It would not necessarily be any different than when Olivia Summiel fed Kitley from the high post or Talyor Soule operated from the high post with Kitley around the lane. Or when Baker and Freelon were high low...ie when Baker flashed to the FT line for a shot. We have done it without hurting the offense in the past and teams do it all the time. Teams have repeatedly hurt us by having two posts at the free throw line and they use screens off it. We have had both posts at the free throw line to pass into. We have been running 3-out successfully for years. What we truly need to get better at is using screens in a way that actually get the driver and the forward moving toward the basket. Our screens are often wastes and too casual. I could see a forward screening down the lane line and then the driver hitting the forward flashing in from the weakside short corner if the weakside defender has to take on the driver... That being said, I also don't see it being something that is done for long stretches at a time. We can always morph into 4-out, a player in the short corner, etc. If we are running 4-out for the purposes of driving lanes then we can't have a one dimensional offense where everyone is at the 3-pt line (not saying you said that). The offensive scheme is not changing. We still operate with driving lanes from the wing, the corner, even down a lane line without the second forward being in the way. So, I agree with you that we likely won't have them both playing alot togethe, but we will...just like Latham and Trent will be in at the same time, and it won't be a 4-out situationm ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/13/2026, 5:31:44 PM

I was watching the ACCN and Duff just said Latham is a versatile 4.

I see it as a direct replacement of Freelon, plus **

Thank you, the directions were perfect**

Trent is definitely a 5. As is Jenkins.**
King of Hokies 05/13/26 12:24 AM ET
all their points are going to be around the basket,they're 5's**

Unless they have skills none of us have seen, that is. Like, I'm never
King of Hokies 05/13/26 08:45 PM ET
You never know from one year to the next,both are good players**

Trent was 13 of 36 from 3 her Senior season of HS, 36.1%
CarolinaHokieFan 05/14/26 11:15 AM ET
Jenkins is a 4**
Ramj4450 05/13/26 02:00 PM ET
I think Jenkins can be a beast under the basket. She is strong like Rose
j9hokie 05/14/26 09:58 PM ET
She doesn't appear to have any outside game, and never played the 4 last
King of Hokies 05/13/26 02:04 PM ET
They played well together when they were on the court at the same time
VAHokie89 05/13/26 12:34 PM ET
Yeah, ok. There were a few mins of 3-out offense we ran early in the season
King of Hokies 05/13/26 02:35 PM ET

It's not about high- low entry passes. It's about whether you can
King of Hokies 05/13/26 08:43 PM ET
Note that was just an example of a type of interaction
VAHokie89 05/14/26 05:51 AM ET
I would say Jenkins is also a 4 and a 5
IowaHokie1978 05/13/26 11:06 AM ET
She had zero 3PA last year. I think it's a big jump to claim "she can shoot
