Being the replacement for Caitlin Clark ( and she will be labeled as such ) is like replacing Jeter at SS for the Yankees. Not an enviable task. No one can succeed at that.
"....with the skill set of Stevie?" Where do you get this idea? Shouldn't we see her play first? Strew is the best of the best. She was that in college and is that in the pros ( where there a lot of really good players ). Love your enthusiasm, but Cmon, dude !!
And don't forget, folks, ICE was coming bak from a lengthy absence and serious surgery. That is not an easy transition. I think ICE had a fineyear. One in which she found herself in big games, and proved that she can be super.
Let me ask you this question; If Jana is a really capable post player, would you ever forsee a line-up with ICE and Sara as power forwards, and Jana in the middle? Presumably with AZZI and Paige at the guardspots Or is ICE definitely a post player only?
I really like your response. I will sleep better. However, I still should like to hear what we have on Jana as a talent. Other than the fact that she was sought after, and signed, by UCONN. I mean, desperation ( lack of bodies to play the post for us ) breeds unusual actions sometimes. We...
Sarah need not start on day one, but I hope she earns that role shortly thereafter. We really are likely to have only one player back at the season's onset,from the extensive injury list. Jana should be full healthy. And she has not played one second at this level. Azzi won't be ready until...
I have seen several people who assume Jana will be starting at center. Upon what information is that based? She has not played a single second of Division 1 basketball. And how many of us regard some Egyptian league as a standard of excellence? Most of us didn't even know they played BB in...
Stanford has announced that one of Tara's coaches is taking the job. Stanford is in a total mess, given the collapse of the Pac 10 conference. The coast to coast travel demands will be draining. The conference they are moving to has all different rivalries and history. Brick went to the draft...
I bet USC is in the mix as well. Keep in mind that they had several " grad student" players on the court with JuJu. They have to move on and be replaced.
A good guess for Geno would be to remain through the Sarah Strong Era. He will be about 75 when she graduates. Recruiting from noon is going to get iffy.
Might a fine choice for her. However, my instinct is she might want to be in a different environment. She has been in the country for three years at Storrs, and Colgate is much the same. I bet she looks for a city.
There is nothing to make us feel any better about the loss. It is what it is. UCONN had every opportunity to win that game, but they just couldn't find the energy to do so. I don't think we had any chance of beating South Carolina, and I felt the same about Iowa ( could not beat SC either )...
The reality of this comes as a shock but not as a surprise. The clock is ticking for everyone, and she has nothing more to achieve. Enjoy her days in a more relaxing environment. Maybe raise goats.
I wonder if she would consider Gaulledet Univ.? Her major is in sign language, and I know of hearing people who have attended that university ( designed for the hearing impaired) to elevate their signing skills ( plenty of job opportunities of high quality). She would elevate their women's BB...
That is a tricky issue. It is hard to argue with you, but it is also hard to think of a roster where people like Shade, Caroline , Aubrey or Cheli are all sitting on the bench wondering if they will ever play. With DeBerry and Ines gone from the team, we already have nothing but superstars and...
I think it is fun to do this, but way off the mark. How do you conclude that Jana starts over ICE? Jana hasn't played a single moment in div 1 basketball, whereas Ice contributed strongly in the final four game against Iowa, and played every minute of our semi final and final games in the BE...
I think the players on both teams feel a bit cheated, because of that call ( a call any decent ref simply doesn't make in those circumstances ). Iowa players will, of course, feel a bit less cheated....being handed the "W." But their fans were cheated, as well.
We had the moment for an unreal...
Everything you say is true. A few observations I need to offer, just because it is what I saw on the court. Paige did not have one of her best games. She missed more shots than usual. I agree that she may be the best player in women's college basketball, but she wasn't at that level tonight...
I am often a coward when it comes to watching games like this. However, this year, I watched the USC game live. And I intend to watch this one live. Here is my rationale; this team has already exceeded my expectations. I believe they can do more than I ever imagined. If they lose they have...
