If you had already seen the above ^ highlights AND/OR you took the time to view them now, then assuredly you saw a savvy playmaker with the blend of size x craftiness x shotmaking ability (we will give her a pass for the 4/16 she shot from distance as a freshman since SHE WAS A FRESHMAN) to keep wing defenders on their toes at all times. You truthfully do not even have to squint or impose any effort whatsoever in order to gather those observations.
When she gets going downhill, her stature presents her the bully ball option while her slipperiness opens up the finesse route. Her knack for finishing through contact combined with her subliminal secondary playmaking sauce can make her a nightmare for opposing resistance’s to counteract. She always made the right, conservative plays as a newbie. Assuming she feels more confident now given the time she has had to adapt and study the collegiate level of competition, Beaumont should be in store for a heightened sense of freedom to get risky in making things happen (especially with the playmaking crater caused by CMM’s departure).
As of today, Makalusky and Caffey are the incoming headliners for the Hoosiers as we look ahead to next SZN. Time will tell if the rest of the potential returnees come back and/or if any other major personnel maneuvers are made this offseason, but one thing to bank on is the breakout brewing within Lenee Beaumont as we daydream about the things to come next season in Bloomington.
Keep going, Beau!
