It's interesting that a very natural 6'2" athlete who can play one or two positions might actually be hindered by her ability. This flexibility -- her tweenesss, if you will -- might make her a second choice for the high post or the wing.

Maybe this year will be helpful to both Danielle and the coaching staff to see how her talents can best be utilized after this group of extraordinary seniors/grad students move on.
