Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / And the International beat Goes On and On and On

The 6'4" Finnish girl who visited last weekend committed to the Dukes according to reliable sources. Believe her name is Helmi Tukonen or Tulonen. According to my sources, she can play the 2, 3 or 4 and likes to fire the 3-ball. She prefers the 2-Guard spot. Details will be forthcoming at the time allowed.

Her last name is Tulonen. So she's not playing the #5? We need tall girls who can operate in the paint.

I'll take talented players, any size, any position, and trust Dan Burt to build a winner. A 6-4 two guard in women's college BB? Why not?

Here's a brief review on the Finnish recruit, Helmi Tulonen. I note that the reviewer lists her as a 6' 3" PF. Perhaps she's grown an inch since the review was written.

Hell, last couple years I'd have taken a 6-3 guard for the men!
