Message: [QUOTE="Lurker, post: 5349161, member: 3787"] Blanca missed the summer practices. She was still in Europe. She's learning the US college game and her teammates, the refs, our language, and the US culture after having played the EU professional game. She is a freshman. IMO, I think posters need to be gentle on her and on making judgements. Watch her smooth and purposeful movements, quickness, and instincts combined with her athleticism. There were some jaw dropping moments from her today even without playing with the team this summer. I thought Blanca and Serah flowed really well together today - watch for this over the next few months and I'll bet I'm right - I'm looking forward to the chemistry developing. I did think Blanca had some nerves today, but I'm excited about watching her game, and I think she will be a starter or the first off the bench very soon (yes, you can remind me if I missed this call) And there was about a 2-3 minute stretch early in the 2nd half where the team flowed amazingly - it was like mid-season form. Way early to see that, so I'm really optimistic as we continue! [/QUOTE]
