This team is down to eight players , only one of which, 5th year senior Ciaja Harbison, could start and play for most SEC teams. Her backcourt mate, 5th year senior Marnelle Garraud, is a decent defender and shooter but not super quick. Our main post player is 6’2”” sophomore Sacha Washington who rebounds well and has long arms, is not quick and is at a size disadvantage against SEC posts. Senior Yaubryon Chambers has contributed well as a would be post but is barely over 6’ and never got extensive playing time until this season. This may seem harsh, but I don’t think the rest of the roster would even sniff playing time on most SEC teams. Overall, we are relatively slow, unathletic, and don’t shoot well. We’ll be fortunate to win five games and it could be significantly worse than that.
Neither of the remaining two freshmen are game changers. I can’t see them being that next season , either. We do have a five member incoming freshmen class for 2023/24 - not ranked in the top 25 - and two very good players in Jordyn Cambridge and Iyana Moore hopefully returning from injury. That frosh class needs to be better than advertised for us to make a significant upward turn. We got 1 excellent player from the portal last year in Harbison; we need more. Shea Ralph has her work cut out .
