Hamilton, I'm very concerned about Carolina Ducharme. It appears to me she has never fully recovered from her head injuries. Auriemma has sent her to the bench and seemingly has forgotten about her. Do you think his banning has affected her confidence too much? I don't want to see her name in the transfer portal because he rejected her. Do you have thoughts about this situation? They essentially have 3 players injured. Dorka, Aubrey and Carolina.
ReplyDeleteI think Auriemma is aware of the lethality of the Haley Jones to Lexie Hull back cut pays. Haley is a great passer and Hull seems to be able to finish somehow. I think with a bit of effort and guile they can get brink in foul trouble, but man, is she long. Her blocks come out of the sky.
