I think Audi needs to become a much more balanced player. Hopefully the team USA experience will inspire her to improve some of the weaker parts of her game. I personally think CBF needs to demand more of her for her to make significant improvement. I think she is really gifted athleticly for her size.

So you don't think CBF is demanding? That might be a unique take on CF.

Audi's game is unbalanced- very gifted on offense, with limitations on defense. But for you to assume she isn't working on all aspects of her game is a faulty assumption.

Effort & hard work sometimes lead in obvious improvement and other times it incremental. We ALL have strengths/weaknesses either physical or mental.

There were subjects I could study 5 hours and ace a test. And others I could have studied 20 and got a C. Obviously, I understood my limitations and spent 5 hours getting a C and 15 hours at Thumbs Up!!!

I think CBF coaches his stars differently than his role players. I don’t think that is a unique take.

I also think you are selling Audi short. I think Audi is a very capable athlete. She has great feet for a player her size. I believe she can make a significant improvement in her defense and the team will benefit greatly if she does.

Is this a rafter banner in the future?

From that, no.
I 100% anticipate her getting one for her ISU career if she stays and graduates.

Awesome to see her get in the gold medal game and score! It looked like she had a great time and made some new friends.
