As we saw all season, with CLW and Kneepkens this year, there were no minutes for guards in our rotation like Londynn and Aarnisalo. And Aarnisalo really needed more minutes to develop.
But now? Yeah, lots of minutes available, especially for guards. And she didn't get a ton of minutes with UNC this year, but a good amount on a pretty good team. That experience should make her that much better as she comes back.
It also says a LOT about Coach Close's coaching philosophies and player relationships that players want to come back.
