"Krystal Brooks is the most veteran post player we have," coach Brooks said. "She is the second returning lead- ing scorer and she's going to be count- ed on heavily. Last year, we were a guard-oriented team, and this year, we're going to have to throw the ball inside and get her more opportunities." At 6 feet 3 inches, Brooks is one of only two returning starters and will be expected to provide leadership by example, providing strong interior defense on a nightly basis, according to her coach. Brooks played in every game last year for the Dukes and provided a solid low-post presence snagging 4.3 rebounds a game, while leading the team in field goal percentage. However, Brooks will be depended upon to play a much larger and more consistent role during this year's cam- paign. With over 40 points and 15 rebounds per game lost from last year's starting lineup, Brooks will be asked to help fill the scoring void that was left by the graduation of frontcourt starters Shanna Price ('03) and Nadine Morgan ('03). While scoring has been one of the strengths Brooks has displayed during her career at JMU, the starting center usually is required to provide consistent rebound- ing night in and night out. Although it has been an admitted weakness, Brooks said she has made a serious effort to improve KRISTY NICOLICH/p/wtfo editor upon it in the off-season.

After graduating a majority of its contributing players from last season, the Dukes of 2003-'04 are a young and inexpe- rienced team at the college level. JMU will enter this year picked by the Colonial Athletic Association to fin- ish toward the bottom of its conference, due in part to the fact that its young team is not well-known. Having a roster that includes six true freshmen, the Dukes are going to look for seniors forward/guard Dwayne Broyles and guard Chris Williams to lead and set examples for the newcomers, according to coach Sherman Dillard. Freshman forward Chris Cathlin most likely is going to have an earlier impact on the team than any other new player, as he already has started in the Dukes' exhi- bition game against EA Sports Southeast All-Stares a week ago.

"When you start putting pressure on a 17- and 18-year-old kid, I don't think you get the end result that you're looking for ... it doesn't become fun anymore." Saying the point guard and center positions are the most difficult roles for young players to adjust to, Dillard com- mended his freshmen for readily han- dling the steep learning curve that comes with playing college basketball. "I've had to be more patient than I've ever been in my years as a head coach in teaching and working with these young guys," Dillard said. "I refuse to give them that excuse that they're young." Make no mistake about it, Broyles and Williams must lead the team — both on and off the court — if it wants to be competitive in a league as deep as the CAA. "I think there's a great deal of pres- sure [on Broyles and Williams]," Dillard said of his two senior leaders. "I think they need to show the way for these guys in everything they do — how they behave on and off the court, how they conduct themselves in practices, how they handle adverse situations and how they respond to me as a coach. They've done a good job in that regard so far."
