Also, what is the status of Smith? Having Smith available would be helpful.
If Francis is out for some time, would love to see Harvey spend some time at middle. If the primary goal is blocking she should be extremely quick laterally.
Thanks for posting that. I was thinking exactly the same thing. If the choice is Harvey or Malia Tufuga, IMO Harvey is more athletic, jumps higher, and is quicker. The downside is it takes time to learn the footwork and decision-making strategy of the MB position, but Harvey may be the best choice if Francis is out for more than a couple weeks.
I suspect Hambly had plans for Harvey to play OPP next season so he is open to a player learning a new position.
FWIW, if it turns out Francis is out for the season, the NC dream is over for 2023.
