I would think the coach imagines the freshman to push the older girls and fight for spots. I spoke to a coach a few years back concerning a freshman player, asking how she was doing. He said he had hoped that this player would have earned a starting spot and was disappointed she didn't.
She actually did ask both coaches and they both have graduating players at her position and both have said that they expect her to earn that spot as a freshman…she has to earn it but it’s why they’re recruiting her. Now that’s recruiting speak of course but she did ask.
