She reminds me a lot of Haley Gorecki, actually, but perhaps more overtly athletic, and a little less inclined to drive against traffic. Really nice.
I think because Kara was a guard, it has been easier for her to recruit guards/wings to the team. I agree that we should be looking for one more, though. Even if we play four out (which I think is pretty likely, given who we have on the team right now), we're probably going to need to be able to go with a two-big lineup against some teams. That means we need three capable posts, which we do not have at the moment. No offense to Uchenna, who has worked very hard to get into better shape and has notably improved her game, but she still hasn't shown that she is really capable of keeping up with ACC-level talent. I would very much hope for a breakthrough if she does stay, of course, but I think whether or not she is here, we need another capable post.
But meanwhile, I really like how things are shaping up.
