What does Conner need to do to improve in 2009/2010? What do they need to keep doing to be successful? Remember, please be constructive.

Conner has a very strong freshman class. They just need court time.

Conner only loses two seniors from last years team, but those two were major contributors (Long and Haynes). Their strength will be at the point guard and shooting guard positions. They have some height coming up through the ranks and will be a strong contender again in the 9th region as these young girls get experience.

IMO, they really have several strong individual players. Now, they need to develop a chemistry and play as a team. That freshman class had that in the previous seasons, but now they have to gel with the upperclass players too. Hopefully, this summer will provide that opportunity for them to develop a team style of play. Are any members of the team playing AAU together?

Conner has 4 seniors this year, I think that will help make them strong competition this year.

I have seen Fischer playing on a team this summer but no one else.

And I think a couple of basketball players are still playing softball....Go Cougars!

Is the Conner program being watered down by the new Cooper school opening? Or perhaps better stated is what effect might the Cooper situation have on athletes attending Cooper vs Conner?

Taulbee and Kring, the shooting guard and the point guard respectively, played AAU together and they looked really good. With the return of senior Devin Beasley after surgery, Conner's guards will be very strong. If one of the other younger players can develop as a strong post player, they could go far.

 

Four or five of the other freshman played together on an AAU team as well.
