What the NCAA guidelines on summer practices? Are coaches allowed to instruct? Is it basically open gym pickup games?
 
Caroline--lest we forget--won a lot of games for UConn when injuries plagued this team. She is a PLAYER with loads of talent. Sometimes unbelievable talent. She has "grit", talent, and without the head issues lots of courage. I expect the unexpected from this lady.

If she can get back to her pre-injury form, I’m gonna be feeling bad for the rest of women’s basketball…

Yep. I'm very interested in seeing what she looks like with a full summer to practice and get back into playing shape and rhythm.
 
Lets dream big and say Caroline returns to full health and earns 25 minutes a game.

In my opinion, if that comes to fruition, she becomes the voice in the huddles and takes Paige’s place as the team leader.

She is already the player coach, per a number of last year's players not named Paige. Whatever Caroline is able to deliver is a bonus dividend. What I would like to see from her is a return to basketball 100% on instinct, muscle memory and Geno style defense. What I would like to see for her, injury free, a return to the fun basketball can be when played at a high level, another Natty would be nice with Caroline wearing a net from her last UCONN game.
 
No joke, I have prayed every night for several years that I would live long enough to see Caroline return to her former glory and lead this team to a National Championship. I've always believed that was in her DNA. Hopefully that will now come to fruition for her, the team, UConn nation, all of us in the BY, and for selfish me.

Yes, a lineup where Caroline is the 4th shooter, the crafty passer, the cagey defender, all in sync with Sarah and Azzi -- that would be wonderful.
 
Great to see even if it's just tiny snippets. Gandy looks like a gamer. Carol looks SMOOTH. Sarah - driving past uber athletic Ayanna to score? WOW! Was that Kelis draining that 3 point shot midway thru? Couple of nice plays from Ash. Kayleigh already looking like a leader - pointing (I'm guessing) for someone to set a screen for her. Cameo for Azzi... WE WANT MORE PLEASE!!!

Nobody is trying to take anything away from Azzi. We can love them both equally!

Uh, you made a statement about who you think would be the leader in the locker room. I think Azzi is more likely to fill that role than Caroline.

I'm not sure what that has to do with "loving them both equally" which was kind of a weird take.
