It was a long day with baby sitting and then driving to Norwalk for a catering job that ended at 10:30 Friday night! Still managed to get out what I could.

Ok..here is my first shot at next years starters and players off the bench.
I know many will disagree and put Collier in the starting lineup ahead of Butler, but I've been a big Butler proponent and I'm not giving up on her. As I have said several times, she would have averages close to a double-double with 25 mpg this season. Yeah, it's a little stretch, but she has the skills. Just watch.
I really like the diversity and size of the starting lineup. How good they will be depends on the off season improvements and how quickly Dangerfield adapts to Geno's scheme and the college game in general.
Soon, I'll fill in the minutes per game, point/rebounds/assists per game as well. Plenty to talk about as the off-season goes on.

More news out of La Tech and the Tyler Summitt scandal. Rumor has it that not only did Summitt have an affair with a player, he got her pregnant.

This is so wrong on so many levels.
Did he get the player to transfer from Marquette to La Tech in order to continue the relationship?
I'm sure more will come out soon. Wow.

Hard to see how Crystal starts from game one. Most likely Nurse will start at PG and Chong will start at shooting guard (but only if she can learn to put her quickness to work on defense). With Nurse at PG, the other option, it to have Lou play the 2 and Collier the 3. Either way, Butler must start and most improve as a shot blocker and a threat from the high post as her doing high-low game with Gabby and Collier is going to be hard to stop if she can consistently pop from the top of the key. Nurse, Lou, Collier, Gabby, Butler is a long tough group of starters.
