Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2877648, member: 5798"] I'm on record as saying that if I had to guess (right now today) who that 5th starter will be, my guess is Camara.....sore knee and all. If for no other reason than she has starting experience (15 games during her freshman year at Kentucky - more than anyone else on the bench), and a personal opinion that no one else on the bench [U]right now[/U], would do a better job playing the post position than she would. I agree with you, right now, she's the front runner. ONO and Irwin would be the other two candidates, one of which would have to overtake her [U]in practice[/U] for that spot. This may change during the course of the season. It may change between now and Nov 4 (1st exhibition game vs Vanguard). I'm talking about RIGHT NOW. But what do I know? Last year I was willing to bet the farm that Stevens would be the 5th starter (I was not alone). Sadly I wuz wrong. :( College athletes are expected to play with pain. Several UConn players played through pain the entire season last year. Minor knee pain (constantly and properly diagnosed, monitored and treated by the medical staff) should not keep Camara on the bench this season. You know the medical staff will do [U]everything[/U] they can between now and the Ohio State game (Nov 11) to get and keep her upright and ready to play. [/QUOTE]
