Some more news from the Storm front (pun intentional as we're dealing with a significant snowfall in Ontario )

As one with strong ties to the State of Maine, I really hope Holmes sticks around for a few years, and that Quinn figures out how to use her properly. She has great foot work on offense and defense, and has shown occasional range to her shot. I assume she worked on that a lot during her rehab. I still remember seeing footage of her the year the Dance was cancelled, shooting baskets and working on moves. Outside in Maine in the snow.

I remember those videos. Reminded me of MBB player from Newfoundland by the name of Carl English who would do the same, but his workout location wasn't his driveway. Both being from small towns not known for basketball and their commitment to getting better regardless of location, weather, etc., is something to appreciate and admire.

While she has an Annie Costabile X account, she recently opened up "The Annie Room," which not only reports news and updates, but rumors. She has her sources and an upbeat, breezy way about her.
