Kim said said the girls are competing hard to be one of the 8 or 9 that will routinely see the court come the meat of the schedule.

I'm sure almost all will play depending on situations/matchups, but who are the 4 or 5 that will see the least amount of minutes? Izzy, Bartlett, ADR, Kent, Velez?

Izzy and Bartlett will only play in garbage time .
I think ADR will get a fair amount of minutes.

12 scholarships and 1 walk on. Based on practices and comments by KM and assistant coaches, these are the 8 players who will be in the rotation:

Reese
Flaujae
Van Lith
Morrow
Smith
Poole
Poa
Williams

Bench players:
Bartlett--rarely played past 2 years
Rosario--freshman, inexperienced, needs S&C and footwork
Kent--freshman, inexperienced
Velez--freshman, inexperienced
Besselman--walk on

Coach KM values experience over most things. She put in Poole, Poa, and Smith in the NC game and Final 4. She commented several times without those 3 bench players, we don't win the NC. She will rotate those 3 "experienced" players over freshmen. Exception is Williams whom she says is college ready.

I think all of the freshmen will get a good amount of playing time during non-conference, but yeah I think that list is pretty accurate.

Poa will definitely be the backup to Van Lith at first due to her experience, but I can easily see Velez taking over that spot the more minutes she gets in as the season goes on.
