Caroline Doty

watchin the 2008-2009 season. Man...imagine if she didn't go thru all those injuries

Caroline was a Philly Badass ... and still is.

 

[Geew1992]

Definitely....but more than that. If...I know I know....if she stayed healthy

IIRC, very positive influence on Tiffany Hayes and the club in general.

Tiff and Caroline were best buddies, much like Kia and Gabby and Lou and Pheesa.

Caroline and Tiffany were THE dynamic duo. Caroline's outside shooting perfectly complemented Tiffany's drive-to-the-basket style. And they were getting better and better.

It was awful that Caroline tore her ACL against Syracuse. She was never the same after that moment. She came back and played, but she was a shadow of her former self.

O what could have been!!!

Found this pic of Doty from junior year, I believe:

Sad reminder of the darker side of what can happen in sports.

We were robbed of seeing her at her true potential (just as she was robbed of fully realizing it).

Good to see she landed solidly at Nike.

BTW, Caroline played AAU ball with another pretty good UConn commit.

The End of Fencor

As a related note, the consensus top player in AAU in the summer of 2007 (I think that's the year) was a kid from Winter Haven, Florida, who was unstoppable.

The locals would tell you that neither Fort Washington nor Norristown are Philadelphia. (neither is Pottsville Muffet)

Caroline had a toughness and a grit that made her so special Healthy, I would have easily taken her before Tiffany Hayes but that wasn't to be. I'm glad that she ended her Huskie career on the note that she did, winning a national championship though I'm sure she would have much preferred a bigger role. I think she was more of an inspirational leader in her senior year though she did have some special moments.

I thought she had a fine and effective 2009-10 season. No injuries to speak of that season, she started throughout. She was Kia Nurse before Kia Nurse - tenacious defense, a great quarterback and floor leader at the point, with a very streaky perimeter shot.

I believe it was the 3rd knee injury she suffered prior to the 2010-11 season that was the 'nail in the coffin' of her starter's effectiveness.

I also believe her absence was a factor in the Final Four loss to ND in '11. Tiff Hayes was "lost" most of that game.

Definately agree with this. I just finished watching the Oklahoma game in 2008-2009. With her on the floor, the D couldn't pack the middle, had to keep a body on her or she made them pay.

1st team AA imo

Uhm, no we won't. Muffet is actually from West Chester-close enough.

There's a reason this is one of my favorite photos ever....
