(IUWBB) Jessica Petrie is a HOOSIER

This is a realistic get to fill a final roster spot. Not sure if it will happen. However, with sister on team and where she is as a player, this is absolutely the prototype for 12th and 13th player on rosters.

She is probably clearly better than 12th or 13th, though... 

She played in every game last year at WVU-- 14 mins per game, as the 6th/7th man on a team that went 28-7. (4 seed)

Nebraska folks say Petrie was a better power forward than center.

That's too bad. 

Ondineme hasn't found a home yet.  I think we could use her next year.

That is exactly what you need is for Petrie to play the stretch 4 position alongside Z and the 5 only in Emergency. Alisa Williams is your backup center who you got from Iowa St who is basically Noyan 2.0.

The fact Petrie is a 4 who can shoot and not a 5 is exactly why IU got her. IU doesn't need a starting 5 as long as Z is healthy and no starting pure post player is going to come here as long as you have her on roster. 

The choice was to evict Z into portal or bring her back and pray her health is good. IU chose the latter and you can argue whether that was smart, but no high level pure 5 is a possibility as long as Z is on roster in modern game.
