Depends on the context.
Could he be trying to reassure you that these girls coming to the team will reinforce the squad and is quantifying their worth by saying they're starting material?
sounds like the girls are able to compete ate flight 2. nothing to worry about thereI have a 2005 DD that made a flight 2 team, we currently have 9 players. The coach said he would be taking 6 players from his last year's flight 3. He said these girl would definitely start on our team.
What is this coach really saying by doing this?
Help!
