The Post Positions...
Entering the new campaign the biggest questions have to deal with the relative unknown in what to expect from the post positions this year. The Broncos return the least overall experience at the power forward and center positions in an offense that plays primarily a three guard and two forward alignment. The post players who are back from last year are senior Rebecca Kepilino and junior Janie Bos. As a duo they combined for 53 game appearances and 31 starts, all the starts were by Bos. Of the two veterans back neither really fits the build of a true center and are more traditional power forwards. Joining Kepilino and Bos in the post are three talented newcomers in juco transfer Nicole Brady, and true freshmen Lauren Lenhardt and Kinzi Poteet.
Junior college transfer Nicole Brady will figure into the mix a lot during her debut season for Boise State. The honorable mention NJCAA All-American in 2009 will more than likely battle Kepilino for the starting power forward role. She is an athletic and skill player who is comfortable pulling up for the jumper or driving to the basket. As a sophomore at Salt Lake Community College last year she scored 457 points and grabbed 239 rebounds to average 14.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. Though she will play more of a power forward role this year expect to also see her at the center position as well.
