Sorry if a repeat: Caroline Ducharme article from Boston

[HuskyNan]

Got to love UConnNation.

But Ducharme’s freshman season is looming, and attention is starting to build. Caroline and [mom] Chrissy were sitting in their car at the grocery store recently when a teenage boy pulled up next to them and noticed Caroline. She rolled down her window.

“Are you Caroline Ducharme?” the boy asked.

She was.

“Congrats on UConn,” he enthused. “I’m a big fan. Good luck.”

“That kind of stuff is not what you expect,” [dad] Todd said.

GREAT STUFF! Best wishes to the Freshman Class at UCONN.!!

Her reaction to injury and rehab time is extraordinary and speaks to her high degree of discipline and desire. Out there on the court she doesn't mess around and she doesn't dilly dally. The coming year is going to be very interesting.

Really good article.

I think that Caroline, Nika, Paige, Azzi, and ??? would want to go back in on crutches if given a chance.

Caroline has the right attitude and skill level to be a star at UCONN. This is the type of player that UCONN needs to recruit in the future and has recruited in the past.

Caroline's journey has taken her from Zeno of Citium to Geno of Montella. Pretty heady stuff!

Great kid. I love her focus. I know nothing about DeBerry, but Caroline, Azzi, and Saylor are really students of the game.

lot of people said that she's like Liv but depending on her highlights she's more physical than liv ...

As a junior, great range and quicker release than I thought it would be. I like the way she moves to get open for her 3 and how she has a nice jab step and drive and finishes. Been through a lot. Grit means a lot here and she has it. Looking forward to seeing her.

Does anyone else think she starts her jump shots pretty low (possibly of blocks by aggressive defenders).

If you mean her 3 point shot then yes. I didn't see a pure jump shot in the video. Her release is similar to Saylor's in that it starts from a lower position as opposed to higher release on a jump shot but she is not going to have a jump shot from 25 feet which is well within her range as a high school player. It is a very quick release though so we will see what if any adjustment is needed on the college level. She can really, really shoot and can be a big part of the equation because with Paige and Azzi, not to mention CW and Evina, there are going to be a lot of off ball openings because the defense has to concentrate on them.

2001 A Space Odyssey really made the piece an iconic one.
