Shouldn’t have burned their redshirts, we are 100% bringing in transfers
The world of 4-5 year players is over, it’s all about reloading in the portal every year if you don’t run a complex system.
Neither are a big loss, Dunn is the more promising of the 2 and it sucks to lose an Aussie but we’ve got 4 better players coming in as freshmen. She may have played as a deep rotation piece, Vesjicky likely wouldn’t play until junior year.
Rotation will probably be:
PG - Amoore, Nelson
G - Wenzel, Suffren
G - King, Baker
F - Transfer, Transfer
C - Kitley
Ideally we could redshirt some of the freshmen and replace their roles with transfers

Cool, go find some players in the portal. **
