For the next several days, I will break down one current men’s and women’s basketball player each day and discuss what expectations might be for the upcoming season.
Today’s Double Dribble 2-1 Focus features Lety Vasconcelos and Ben Humrichous
Player Profile: Lety Vasconcelos is a 6-foot-7 sophomore center and will be one of the tallest players in the Big Ten Conference this season. A product of Montverde Academy in Florida, she began her career as a top-40 national recruit at Baylor University before transferring to Illinois. After missing last season with a major ACL injury, Vasconcelos now enters a pivotal year where her health and presence in the paint could dramatically change the trajectory of Illinois’ season.
