MINNIS ON COLOSIO
“She’s been simply amazing. Last year she really showed a lot by not practicing the entire year and showing a lot of craftiness and determination by just going out and competing at just an unbelievable level. It looks like her health is a lot better now and she feels even more confident about her game. I think that she feels 100 percent, but she really has a different style of play that not many college players or even professionals play with today. She uses the court real well, changes the pace real well and she has a lot of shots in her repertoire that not many of the top players see, and I think that it makes a difference in her game. Plus she’s just so hungry to win.”
