Iowa and others hurt us around the basket. We still can get out in transition with mobile 4s and 5s. We saw Well, Wenzel, and Nelson together on the court If she wants to move into the upper echelon of the ACC, she needs more size and more interior depth than last year. Last summer, some people looked at the lack of size and minimized it with comments like (a) we will compensate for lack of size/rebounding with outrunning other teams..... The comments ignored that impact on interior defense/potential foul trouble, how that might affect the inability to score inside, and how that might cause players like Ekh and Baker to play inside (potentially leading to fouls and taking away from their offense). We already saw a 3-guard lineup. We also already saw how interior issues, even with Baker and Peterson working hard, affected the offense against Duke's Fornier, NC State's bigs, Iowa's size.... ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 3/30/2025, 10:55:32 AM ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 3/30/2025, 11:10:39 AM

Sweet 16 have centers around 6’2” or 6’3”. Ashley Sofilkanich is 6’3” and she would be a great addition. So would Caitlyn Weimar (6’4”). My post was also more talking about the backcourt, but some fans are expecting us to get Clara Silva or someone similar, and that’s prob not gonna happen.

It’s a bit different than Big East.

Guard targets I’ve seen aren’t exactly big guards. I’m expecting Duffy to add a PG and a SG/wing.

portals she takes. She will let the guards fight it out.

Be nice to see some up-tempo games . She came here to win and I say she will.

traditional centers. She has mentioned playing fast, pressuring the perimeter on defense and playing "positionless basketball." And yes, even if she adds an experienced Wing transfer (I think she will), Wenzel, Suffren and Nelson will be on the floor together ALOT.
