No, I would like RK sit out as long as she can until she is 100% ready to go. If she does play, I would have her to come off of the bench and play sparingly. I would not want to disrupt the rhythm this team has right now with EA starting and playing.
I see what you're saying, however if you look at how Carolina has been defended by Texas, ND and UCLA it was to take away the point guard and totally disrupt the guard play in General. You'll need as many guards as possible in Games like that. HH of ND will disrupt your offense herself. TX used their best and biggest player on UNC guards/Madison Booker. UCLA has the back line to punish drives to the basket. If you come up empty, not good and your biggs may be in foul trouble by that time.

So,yes the chemistry is good but,if you don't have an elite guard like HH to make up for mistakes. Their plan is to take away the PG/Ball handing guard against us by elite teams. At some point you'll need another guard for the Top 4-6 teams in the country. Maybe not against Louisville but definitely against ND if they make it.

I do agree with your take on how to bring Kelly back into the lineup.

You made some valid points that I did not think about. My reasoning was to make sure that she was 100%. I would hate to rush her back and she gets hurt again and now she is out for the season. This was my take on the situation.

So we see the blue print for the opposing teams. Take away especially the point guard and the off guard with pressure on ball handing I didn't believe Louisville would do this but this is what's happening going forward. Just have to fight through.

I thought EA played very well today against Louisville. We had too many unforced turnovers throwing the ball into Harris. They threw the ball over her head a couple of times. She is only 6 foot 2 inchers tall and some of those passes were to high for her to catch. We missed a couple of bunnies inside. They did a good job of shooting down our three point attempts. They just wanted it more than we did.
