IMO it does not appear Chelsea is going to see the court anytime soon. All MAC player (elite) alongside Kelly for two years ... wrecked knee ... surgery, rehab & release. IMO new coaching staff elected to go another direction. Tough deal. Used her vs Ball St and nothing since. Cats so deep, so talented. IMO Chelsea has been kicked to the curb. Calling it as I see it. Go Cats! Two nice wins at the Convo.

I have no idea. I can certainly imagine the recovery could take a long time. And/or, maybe it was just too devastating to be recovered from to a high-competitive level.

If Chelseas was anywhere near as good as she was pre-injury, it's difficult to believe that we wouldn't get her on the court.

Hopefully, she's getting there!

I think the writing is on the wall that her role on this year's team is to be a bench player...coming in when a starter is struggling like she did at the Ball State match and helping the team get the W. I've seen all the matches she's played in and she looks confident and I think her experience helps lift the team when they need it. The rumor mill is saying she was somewhat "encouraged" to pursue opportunities elswhere for her last year of eligibility. Tough luck for a past all MAC Bobcat but, as we all know, this is the way of sports. Her demanor on the sidelines and during matches shows that she's a class act...and that when asked, she appears to give it her all when her team needs her. I heard, again through the rumor mill, that she's uncertain whether she'll go ahead and start grad school and play her last year of eligibility at another school next year.

Same to you. Any facts that Chelsea has been "kicked to the curb"? Not very fair to malign the coaches like that without anything to back it up.

My last entry on this topic. I stand by my words. Every player on the Bobcat roster played over the weekend, except one. You say my words "malign" the coaches, yet show no compassion for one of our own. Coaches are not above reproach. I support the Cats ... all of them. The media, Cat fans, parents and opposing coaches have consistently inquired about Chelsea and her ability to contribute to the MAC's best "team" upon her medical release/return to action, while IMO the head coach has not been transparent.

You may define "kicked to the curb" however you wish. Two weeks ago Chelsea pulled her weight during a tough stretch at BSU and the Cats prevailed. She remains capable and deserves better. It is one thing to lose your spot in the rotation due to injury. It is a completely different thing to be relegated to the bench for an entire season (two years in a row). Be a Bobcat "fanatic", but show some compassion in the process.

The Emperor has no Clothes ...

At 17-4, 10-0, I am inclined to give the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt.

As Swank said on another thread, this is quite possibly the deepest, most talented Ohio team we have seen in quite a while.

None of us are in practice everyday.

I trust the coaching staff, and am enjoying the ride toward yet another MAC championship. We have a great team, made up of a group of women I am proud to have represent my school..

Good to see(sarcasm) that this kind of stuff takes place on other BA boards besides the Football board. Congrats to the ladies on a fabulous year and the great wins this past week!

This is a joke, right? Someone comes here and makes a lot of allegations with exactly zero evidence to back it up and then gets huffy when called out on it or presented with plausible alternatives? Or are we watching an axe being grined?

OHIO!
