I didn't say there were 4

I said ideally the 4 leading scorers… it wasnt. Daley was not consistent and dropped from the lineup. Freelon was not a go to scorer. I said ideally, we would have Wells came into the starting lineup to replace daley. Whether she took guarding certain guards or not, note wells also didnt play as much as the season progressed.in fact, she only played 10 mins against Louisville. That was not replacing nelson in guarding Louisville opposing guards. We lost Louisville partially because of their posts We didn't lose those games because of nelson, so however good she was or was not didnt cause those losses. I get your point but Nelson was not the huge liability you paint her out to be. Did she beed to improve significantly in the off-season for tech to take the next step? Yes. So would Wells, Suffren, and others. I agree with you that the PG spot is suspect right now if we truly want to move into the top 4 of the ACC, and advance into the ncaa. Latham and hurst will makes structurally different so will see if we are better.

So, the departure of two players indicates that Duffy is not a players-firs

I think Duffy is a players coach

She was taken out of lineup due to defensive effort

Sears is a point guard and has a very good chance to be our starting PG
texashokie1 05/21/26 01:47 PM ET
I think you may be right ,unless we get a better option out of portal**

ancient alien 2018 05/22/26 04:27 PM ET
Maybe she doesn't need a true point guard in the old sense

Remember, it was only 2021 when transfer rules changed.

Exodus is an overstatement given the realities of college basketball today
I love VT! 05/21/26 09:33 AM ET
But high producing starters are certainly interesting to lose. **

Yes. But connecting to Duffy and saying "I thought she was a players
