Oklahoma State

[SoonerNorm]

I expect OSU to be pretty good this year. Players I think will get good minutes are:

Atkins- R/S Freshman
Beatty- Freshman
Bias- Senior
Donohoe- Junior
Martin- Sophomore
Suttles- Senior
Wallace- Junior (juco)

They probably need some more help inside (perhaps freshman Jones will play well).

On paper, this is a team that is capable of beating the Sooners in Stillwater.

Jones is a Junior. She has not received much playing time behind Toni Young and Lindsey Keller the past two years. But she is a big strong body that will be able to provide valuable backup minutes.

It is interesting you don't list Roshunda Johnson or Katelyn Loecker as someone capable of getting "good minutes". These two were Top 100 recruits.
I agree inside is the biggest question. Suttles should be able to continue her productivity from last year. Wallace will be a big help, I think. But Coffman and Loecker are both capable of getting significant minutes on the interior depending on matchups.

Because I don't know much about them. I listed 2 that I know should be good. I doubt you will have 4 freshmen getting significant minutes...just too much talent in the upperclassmen.

I don't know too much about Atkins, and Beatty had an impressive HS career. But I definitely think Roshunda will be playing more than at least one of those two.
Wallace is a newcomer to the program also. So this leads me to believe her and Loecker will be battling for minutes as the 2nd inside player.
All OSU has on the inside is Suttles that has proven to be a starter. All other forwards/centers, regardless of class, will be battling for significant playing time, IMO. (Donohoe being the exception since she is listed as a forward and will be getting most of the minutes at the 3).
