Question for the board. Is it me or is Timea’s skill set being really under utilized? I know she doesn’t love to post up but she has an mis match down low whenever she’s on the floor with Bears.

Everyone gets totally confused about gardiner. Rueck doesnt want to stsrt two six three girls gardiner playis like a two also. She looks for her shot outside. Her knees are not strong enough to post up possibly from her injury. With the back to the basket. Shes not fast enough to guard 2’s Who are fast. She doesnt seem a bit upset about her arrangement it appears she is trusting the coach on whsts best for her. It also appears when she is called on she produces just fine and she is happy with this? One mans opinion

My 2 cents worth: Based on her recruiting rank, I think many of us expected Timea to come in and be a 20 and 10 player, like Raegan. Obviously, that wasn't possible last year.
This year, it's possible that Scott started out wanting to limit her minutes to see how her body held up. (I freely admit I have no idea if that's correct, Judge, so don't be an asshole and say I posted a false statement.) So he initially started Rees and, 17 wins later, if it ain't busted, don't fix it.
Whoever is producing that day gets the most minutes. Today, both Timea and Kelsey were terrific, and Timea was skying for rebounds.
I don't think Timea is being utilized incorrectly to any significant degree. The team results would tend to back that up, would they not? It's always possible to find something you'd do differently if you were the coach - they even did it with John Wooden. But I think Scott's got this team playing really good basketball, and I don't expect him to make any changes.
By the way, did you notice that when Utah was teed up, Timea was the one who took the shots?

Timea is getting good minutes now, and continues to improve every game. I wouldn't worry as Timea looks very happy and making serious contributions.

There is not a team in the nation that wouldn't love to have Timea Gardner coming in off the bench and giving you double points and significant rebounds on a regular basis. The rotation is working beautifully.

Did you see her run the court like a sprinter to get a pass for a lay up. That was a beautiful play. Anytime a big hustles like that is best to reward them. Or how much she bangs bodies to get a rebound. If she had a problem with her knee she wouldn't be able to.

It doesn't look like she's having much trouble (if any at all) now. I could swear I heard Timea say it had to do with a chest injury suffered in an accident involving a scooter. I seem to remember it was with a parking meter. That is why during the freeze this year the girls were banned from their scooters. Timea had a laugh about it with the reporter doing the interview. But hey I'm old and maybe getting senile.

Oh, yeah...the main problem was blood clots

Thanks for the articles. The first one talks quite a bit about her personality - lots to like there.
