- Reneisha "ReRe" Hobbs has torn an ACL and is out for the season. She was projected starter at SF.
- Morgan Jennings, the projected starter at PG, tore her ACL this summer and is out until at least January.
- Morgan Tolles, the team's most-hyped freshman, will have to start at PG.
- On how the injuries change the team's identity: ``We're still going to run as much as we can. We're going to have more of an inside presence. We'll have that opportunity this year. We'll still push the ball. We'll never get away from that totally."
- On getting PF/C Jordan Greenleaf back from an ACL injury: "We missed her last year. She's such a smart player. She just has a presence about her."
- On her expectation for Morgan Tolles: "To be as solid of a point guard as she can bem, not turn the ball over and run the team. We'll have to go through the experience of being a point guard at this level. She is a highly fit player. As long as she can progress, she'll see a lot of minutes on the floor."
- She believes Mississippi State is the SEC's team to beat this season.
- "You're looking at a team that's ready to prove themselves. Practice have been ... they've been going to incredibly hard. We've progressed quickly, but we still have a lot of inexperience on the floor. This is the hardest-working team I've had here at Auburn."

if you're not first you're last.
FENG!!
If you are not the lead dog the scenery never changes
DANG even in women's basketball if we didn't have bad luck we would have no luck at all.
Sucks about Hobbs. Too bad for her. How is the team suppose to be this year? Returning a lot off of last year's good team or losing a lot?
Feng taking the #2 spot - that's proably appropriate
I'm out for now Hotties.
Beat Ole Miss!!
Torn ACL's. Does Tubs have anything to do with the lady Tigers?
Chizik thread up.
Not a big women's basketball fan, usually, unless it's Auburn playing. They were fun to watch last year. They've got big, important shoes to fill, this year. Good luck, Tigers!
war eagle happy fightin' Fortner's!
