Aren't all teams considered young?

Every year about half of any team is considered young with the incoming Freshman and existing Sophomores making up just about 40% to 50% (give or take) of any roster. So not sure hanging your hat on us being a young team matters all that much especially since our coaching staffs development of players is sub par. And, if you are referring to the fact that our young players had more playing time and in turn more experience, well consider this… most teams out recruit us so even though other teams Freshman and Sophomore’s don’t get as much playing time as our Freshman and Sophomores because the players in front of them are just better players, those Freshman and Sophomores are also just better to begin with than our Freshman and Sophomores regardless of how much playing time our players had. It also appears that most (not all) of our roster is comprised of under sized players when you compare them to top tier rosters. We basically have a roster of pinch runners. This goes back to square one… Larissa Anderson and her coaching staffs inability to recognize recruits at the SEC Division 1 level and NOT her specialty…recruiting mid major caliber and under sized talent. And THIS is why we are in this predicament right now with no end in sight other than hopes and prayers of the incoming Freshman or current unimpressive players making a difference. Not going to happen.
