Interesting that one of us thinks Paige won't start! I can make an intelligent guess about a not very intelligent vote. But hoping it's only out of concern she won't be ready to start by November rather than simple dyspepsia.

Will there also be a thread who we feel should start?

Polls are so great! They can save miles of bickering. Genius!

sure, but we all picked those 3, so this is just confirming what we all know. Far more interesting is folks' views on the others, because, after all the sturm und drang, almost everyone agrees that Nika will start. That's obviously not everyone's preference, but the vote helped a lot in clarifying what folks thought would be Geno's preference (in his incompetent, never-winning way). I love it when I am right and everbody else is wrong. how does Supergirl have one fewer vote than Azzi and Aaliyah? Did someone leave her out on purpose? Surprised Caroline gets so little love.

New poll is up for who you, personally, would like to see as the starters.

Looks like not everyone voted for all 5. Total vote count is 82, should be 85 if everyone who voted picked all 5 allowed.

To answer Chappy and swash: 1. Linkster only voted for the obvious 3, preferring not to guess about the others. He's on record for that, above. 2. I'm pretty sure I know who didn't vote for Paige, since I was actually on-line at the time. I don't know if that person was being naturally disruptive or thinking Paige wouldn't be physically ready by November.

Interesting that one of us thinks Paige won't start! That was me. I screwed up and missed a couple of boxes. Fixed it.

If you want the instructions to be clear PUT THEM IN THE ORIGINAL POST. Are we supposed to read the 2nd post before the first post?
I voted for what I want also. If I had been aware of the 2nd post I would have answered per those guidelines. I can't change it now.
We all know Nika probably starts. Can we put that to bed? The only question is should she start? Is it warranted? Does it make the team better?

I had Ice starting and I haven't seen her play one minute of college ball yet. I just think she's more likely to be college ready than the others and we need the 2nd big for many teams.

Is it warranted? Does it make the team better? It is the nature and limitations of the board that the poll sits at the top of the thread, with the first “real” post below it. Nothing I can do about that. This board sits on a host site. I didn’t create the program logic on ProBoards, I just have to work within them. Until the poll is locked you can change your vote. You can pick a whole different five if you want. That was also mentioned earlier in this thread.

I believe Geno will start : Paige , Nika, Azzi, Aaliyah and either Jana or Ice. I chose Jana in the selection.

Didn't mean to overlook Ayanna. She'll certainly be in the mix as well. And who knows about Amari?

The summer road trip will surely answer many questions , eventually. I for one am approaching this season with a very open mind. I really just want to observe and enjoy how the players and the team " find themselves" together and establish the team's identity. After watching as many videos on Jana as I could find, I like where she came from. Earlier , a few years ago when she was 5'11, she had good handle and could shoot . Now that she's grown into 6'4 she seems to still have great coordination , knows how to score and is long. I have to believe that her extra time in Storrs this year working with CD and acclimating with the team gives her a an advantage. I like when she gets the ball she goes right to the basket !

She might be sort of a "freak": mismatched size and skill set, so extremely hard to guard.
