Yes, thank you Judy! It is always great to have some news during the summer doldrums. This caught my eye in particular:
"Hopes" doesn't sound super confident, and of course it also means they are missing a lot of summer practice. Carrington I'm not too worried about since she was playing at such a high level and some downtime might actually be good for her. But I have hoped ever since her freshman year that Fingall (and now Dodson) would come back after a summer and show dramatic improvement--like McPhee or Bird did--but it is hard to do that if you are rehabbing the whole time.
I really think the post positions are wide open and we could see freshmen get a lot of time there. Another possibility--Jerome is getting a lot of competitive time for Canada and perhaps we could see her leap forward. I've never been more uncertain about who our posts are going to be at this point before a season.
