lightning roster predictions

With leaving players and roster changes who do we expect to see suit up for the lightning next season? That is of course if the team stays in Adelaide...

Samantha Woosnam - star veteran
Cherie Smith - glad to see her playing again
Laura Summerton - Gone to eurpoe??
Erin Seward - should be back for mid ABA Season??
Melissa Marsh - Gone to Perth
Jenni Screen - Gone to Europe?
Erin Phillips - resigned, Go you little Rocket
Monique Bowley - best all round ABA player?
Brigid Bowley - good role player
Erin Lorenzini - deep bench player
Rebecca Duke - deep bench player (but in the absence of posts may have to step up)
Tami Willey - Gone to make babies
Deanne Ranford - defensive specialist

What about the rest of the ABA are there any up and coming players worth looking at? Is Chris still supporting our ABA talent.

Are there some players worth looking at... Amanda williams (scorer)?...Teacey Beatty (wants to stay in Adelaide)?... Jenine Browne (puts points up, plays strong)?... Jae Conn (back up point)?... Anna Maycock (athlete)?

I would think the spots of Dee Ranford, Erin Lorenzini, Rebecca Duke could be up for grabs for an upcoming player at trials, and with the loss of Willey, Marsh, Screen and Summerton (possible) there could be more new faces to join Jess Foley on the BOLTS next year

Tracey is too slow, amanda is a great aba player but has had her chance at the higher level.

I would hope Chris would look at both Jay Cross and Narelle Lindsay if they were interested in playing in Adelaide.

We need the experience to compliment out youth.

ps who is janine brown?

big but you obviously haven't been watching the ABA this season.

Tracey has improved every aspect of her game since last season. She even dribbles the ball now!

I very much doubt JAE Cross will be interested in playing WNBL. Jae CONN might, she's tiny for WNBL level but has shown she can shoot the ball.

Narelle should be playing for the Lightning but again I have doubts she'd be interested.

Janine Brown is from Canada and has been fantastic for the Panthers this season.

I believe that Dee Ranford has already been offered her contract but is waiting to see if a opportunity in Europe pops up for her before she signs.

1. phillips / (seward-lorenzini)
2. king / ranford
3. foley / duke
4. smith / m.bowley
5. woosnam / ??

very small as mentioned above by b-squared. Screen, Summerton and Willey are huge losses for Lucas and staff.
