This makes me SAD!  Oh well gotta do what ya gotta do!  Best of luck Emily....

[WWWRHH]

Last year had to be difficult for Emily, with her minutes diminishing over the course of the season.  That combined with not being sure that Hope was the right school probably made transfering an easier decision.  Even if she had not started, she would have played an important role and her contributions will be missed.

With the talent that the Dutch had in the post position - Lange, Warsen, Snikkers, Knox, O'Hare and Brunisma - it was hard for everyone to get on the court.  Each one of these players would have had major minutes on other (and probably started for most) MIAA teams.  Depth is good, but last year may have been too much of a good thing.  Coaching decisions could be easier this year.

With Emily's departure, I suspect Morehouse will primarily employ a three player rotation at the PF / C positions.  The combination of Snikkers / Knox worked well last year.  Bruinsma is more of a forward than a center, but still effective inside.  Kutney is probably still a year away from adapting to the college game, but will probably see increased playing time to get her ready for the following seasons.
