BobK often knows things the rest of us don't--at least he knows them before we know them.  His remarks and the consistent reference in the press to an "illness" indicate that it is unrelated to her various dings and braces.  I presume that there is a reason that Toni wants her privacy on this issue. 

It is not, however, speculative to consider what the effect of losing her would be.  Without Toni as our reliable top perimeter defender our team becomes much weaker, and we have to brace for what could be some tough times.  Let's hope that Jasmine and Sara continue to improve their defense, since it will be needed.  Both of them seemed to play very good defense yesterday, so there is hope.  It is even possible that Tara is keeping Toni out against a couple of weaker teams to help develop Jasmine and Sara, since she knows they are going to be needed even more than she first thought.

What has happened to Alex Green?  She was expected to be back for the start of Pac 12 play, and I don't see her in warm ups anymore.  Ally Beebe is out there with the team before games, at least (and looks somewhat imposing, if only she can get completely healthy for next year.)
