    I normally think you have a very good grasp of your particular conversations each time. Today however, I think you’re way off on Caitlin. You think she’ll get beat up more because these players have been playing longer? She’s double and triple teamed every game. They try and hit her with hard screens, banging her has much as they can get away with, and with almost all eyes on her! WNBA will be trying to cover her with just one player. Want to talk about a recipe for disaster! These maybe pros and maybe they can lock down most college players one on one but really! Caitlin isn’t just any college player. They’re going to find out very quickly why the best of the best teams in college basketball still find it necessary to double and triple team her. Maybe you’re correct about college women in general, but that’s not what she is. She’s someone we have never seen, believe it!

    I strongly believe that it would be advantageous for her to go and play with Aliya Boston, while also remaining in the Midwest due to her boyfriend's affiliation with the Pacers. This arrangement would undoubtedly result in a mutually beneficial outcome. However, I must admit that I have a slight inclination that she may choose not to pursue this opportunity.

    The last Olympics was 2021 because of the pandemic, so it wasn’t that long ago. If the Olympic Committee didn’t want Taurasi on the team because of her age, they wouldn’t have invited her to camp in the first place. You don’t embarrass and disrespect Taurasi, who has meant everything to Team USA and women’s basketball. All Taurasi has to be is healthy enough to play, and she’ll be on the team. I expect she’ll be taking it easy during the first half of the 2024 WNBA season, so as to not risk injury.
