available certainly earlier gone looking ought takes whether
She's gone from being someone we weren't looking at, because we didn't want a 5-11 post, to someone we ought to be looking at. Whether someone takes her earlier or she'll be available for us, I don't know. But we're certainly looking at her.

She's like losing your quarterback before the Super Bowl, or the Rose Bowl,

She can come in and defend our opponent's guards, especially their point guards.
