I think everyone realizes that you think Hannah is a great player. And I really agree that she is. But what they are trying to say is just for a minute consider her age and mental toughness. As a sophomore last year, she did a lot of great things. Other things, that will come with age, she could have improved upon. And these are the things that as seniors and juniors, Hickok, Anderson, and Farley knew how to handle. We all know she's a great player, we're just saying Hess's first five were the best to play together for the season. Hacker did a great job coming off the bench.

I was actually commenting on what you said about last year's team being 1 and 6 against good AAA teams. But with the situation with Hacker, I personally think the same philosophy should apply. You have to look to the future and plan with what you have. I agree that she was a great player with huge possibilities, but she has made a decision, and that should be respected. The rest of the girls will come together and do great. People decide to stop playing basketball all the time for whatever reason, and most teams end up adjusting just fine. I know she would have gave them more threats on both ends of the court, but it will be fun to see just who will step up in her place, don't you think? Just my opinion.

Maybe we should start focusing on the future. Last season is over. Next year's team still has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how they are going to do.

Who would you have started her over?
