with her family. If I remember correctly, they are Catholic - I thought ND was going to get her.

I read this morning that she is not expected to be available for the beginning of next season.
Guess the injury is serious but I haven’t yet found out what type of injury. She might have been the #1 draft selection next year without the injury. Hopefully, she recovers fully and is back playing at 100%.

and that his take the whole year to rehab and then come back as a Grad Student for her last year.

I hate to see any player get hurt and certainly do not wish it on anyone, but I was glad (maybe relieved?) that it was her teammate that was involved in the injury rather than one of ours. The way their center was moving around in the lane all night it was probably only a matter of time before someone got hurt.

I hope that she fully recovers....

..team leader;
..good, humble person;
..that volleyball background. She jumps vertically, uses both hands for blocks and takes good angles.
..and totally reinforces why ND and UConn (and others) were in such dogged pursuit of her services.

Don't know what the extent of her injury is, but hope for the best.

p.s. I know nothing about her personality, but N'Alyssa Smith can sure play offense.

thought she would be, it took some struggling along the way, but she was really great this year.

I don't know of course, but I wonder if we make our comeback if she is in the game. Although her replacement was damn good, 17 minutes 14 points and played very well on defense. She and Cox will be an excellent duo next year.
