Observations from a couple of games I've watched so far: 1. UCLA/SDSU: SDSU was completely overmatched but put up a really solid fight, all things considered. Kiki Rice coming off the bench is eye opening as @nwhoopfan noted. Betts didn't get nearly enough touches considering she's 6-7 going...

No Okananwa for Duke either who would’ve been a starter and likely a go to scorer. Ugly first game, kind of what you’d expect from a team like Duke that doesn’t prioritize offense. They’ll improve and be fine. Bummer we didn’t get to see Skinner or Roberson. Taliah Scott has gone the radar...

Cool to see Isabelle Fijalkowski on there, she's a throwback to the early W days. Her daughter is a dunking phenom in France and likely a future WNBA player.

Plus Crooks and Blakes behind her who were All Americans last year

Fudd missed part of her junior season due to injury and it was ultimately halted due to covid. Her senior season was also halted due to Covid.

That's my thought too regarding Edwards. I'm not sure what the thought process is, though I also think A'ja Wilson is also too high at 5. Wilson was a great HS player but not a consensus #1 recruit and won just 1 state title. Creating this kind of list is kind of an impossible task but I do...

It's HS career only and a lot of players aren't properly rated in high school or are late bloomers. Candace Parker/EDD/Maya being top 3 is fitting. I'd probably put Candace and Maya top 2 though, both were NPOY for multiple seasons in high school. Those 2, plus EDD and Griner had more hype...

I know UCLA has some depth inside but potentially losing the #2 recruit in the country before the season would be a huge blow. Hopefully it’s not as bad as a lot of knee injuries.

I don’t know Fam’s game as well as many but I don’t think she’s a consensus #1 like a Boston/Clark/Paige in recent years. Draft and stash for the #1 pick in a strong class would be a crazy choice IMO, especially considering they only have Paige locked in for 2-3 more years.

Interesting hire. A few thoughts on this: 1. I think it’s likely a solid upgrade from Koclanes. 2. Friendship or ties between Fernandez and Geno, plus with Geno’s public commentary lately I wouldn’t be surprised if he played a big part in making this happen. 3. Tough loss for USF team to...

I think she’s the best PG prospect in a long time aside from CC/PB. She brings good size to the position at 5-10 and is a phenomenal passer with great court vision. Defense, shooting, etc can be developed but I think physical traits and court vision are comparably unteachable. She’s a very...

Agree with the concern but I think Betts is a better prospect than McCowan was. Much better offensive skills and a better passer. Big T also had some really good years in the pros but her downfall is that she hasn’t developed any range on her shot and hasn’t improved her game since she joined...

I disagree—I don’t think Fudd is the 2nd best prospect in the draft right now. Especially considering she hasn’t had a clean healthy season of basketball in 6 or 7 years. Also, Klay and Steph work so well because they play different positions as did Cooper and Swoopes. McBride and Fudd are...
