(Assuming she isn’t injured), I wonder if Alli Campbell will stick around if her minutes don’t increase by season’s end. Her and Citron are somewhat similar as well.
I thought Campbell was looking good the first few games. I'm a little discouraged for her, but hopefully she just keeps working her butt off and it pays off for her.
I'm a tad concerned, as well (already).
Campell was the first of the Class of 2020 to commit and has been unbashedly pro-Irish. She and MM were very tight, but she knew Niele as well (she attended "Nielefest").
Thought she played well in the early games, particularly on defense and rebounded. She's tall and has long arms (had a few blocks) and looked like she knew exactly what she was supposed to do. However, early on, the Irish point-guard by committee was not passing the rock to her in the corner (even if open).
Niele has said she wanted to see what she had as her players came back bit by bit. It now appears that Katlyn Gilbert has settled into that "long" guard role and Alli C. has hit the bench. My worry is that Gilbert, Peoples, Prohaska are not going anywhere for years and -- as pointed out -- Sonia Citron, another tall lanky guard, shows up. The good news is that Campbell also has played with Olivia Miles a lot on the Philly Belles and that could help.
Personally, I think Campbell could help us now. As Orangutan has pointed out, most our long-range shooers are forwards (Brunelle, Westbeld) and Mabrey. Campbell can shoot it long (and short). I'd have Peoples and Gilbert spell each other to give Campbell some time, but what do I know?
