Outlook: Lynx coach Ritchie Thornton has ten starters back including RB Keegan Garnett. Flo Flores will also see carries and along with RB Skyler Sumner, the running game will be a huge part of the offense. On defense, Blaine Schroeder, Cullie Cooper and Chase Farrar anchor the line with a couple of the RBs key members of the secondary. Some talent is present but more playmakers are needed.
