They are only dressing out eight players. And, as someone pointed out, except for the JC guard, they are all frosh and sophs.
Jasmine Thomas is their best player. She is probably out for the year.
Kimberly Burton is having to redshirt this year as well.
Of the eight players who dress, I believe five are newcomers.
I wouldn't expect much this season from this squad.
What are we now, year 6? It’s about time to hold Gary accountable for who is and isn’t on the floor. Having 8 bodies isn’t an acceptable number regardless of injuries.
I like Coach Brodhead, he's a really good guy. But he has a problem keeping his classes eligible. That is why UL is young this season, you can't keep replacing classes every two years and be consistently successful in any conference.
Brittney Myles and Danyale Bayonne are would be juniors this season. Both gone from what arguably was considered his best class in recent years. Also gone is Breionne Cooper and Malachi- Seraphin Williams, one would be a junior and the other a senior.
The fact that UL WBB is young this season again is directly on Coach Brodhead and his staff. They need to do a better job of finding athletes that fit their system and can remain eligible.
If players become ineligible to the degree indicated that could spell APR issues. Not good.
I was actually encouraged from what I saw last night simply due to the fact a young squad played even with a veteran club that is one of the better ones in the SLC. Had they made a few more free throws, they win in regulation. They can shoot the ball better than in the past so I don't think a winning season is out of the question.
