While this is true, the fact these 18-22 year olds are now getting paid through the donations of strangers and alumni to NIL collectives, the noise everywhere is going to be considerably louder.

I think the larger issue is Tennessee’s internal perception of where their program currently stands. You fire Kellie Harper to fish out a coach from the mid-majors. This to me sounds like they didn’t have a plan for the program’s leadership in the first place. As for the roster, I think it’s a...

She is one I wish would transfer. She’s incredibly dominant at this level and Iowa State hasn’t done much if anything to capitalize on it.

Arnold is shooting 22% from 3 and Shade is sitting at a tick under 24% lol. That absolutely will be an issue moving forward if they continue firing off bricks. Any coach with an ounce of common sense will start throwing more zones at UConn if you’re only gonna house 2 shooters out there...

I think Geno is going to have to get Shade and possibly Arnold out the starting line up. Shade in particular just looked lost and tried overcompensating a lot. Arnold also can’t really create in the half court. I’d be interested to see when or if Cheli will be able to play again, that at least...

The message sent to them is to work their tails off over the summer so they can be prepared to compete for minutes, shouldn’t that be the message for everyone? Nothing is given.

Money aside, I just don’t get the appeal for LSU. Seems like there’s always some sort of drama coming from the program every season. I think South Carolina will be just fine without her.

Because if a player like Kneepkens had UConn as her #1, you don’t pass on her because of the likes of Arnold, Shade, and Ziebell etc. She would be the 3rd best player the second she committed. This isn’t shade to any of those players, but Kneepkens is just that gifted and how shown an ability to...

Yeah……I was just about to say putting her in that same tier as Geno is quite the stretch. She has never even coached any of her teams to consecutive Final Four appearances despite all the talent she’s had.

I was somewhat surprised Sydney Parrish didn’t at least get a look in the third round.

Every roster is different and the perceived needs of each change. Paige and Chen are no longer on the team, that is two players that are able to facilitate and create their own shots from multiple areas off the roster. Outside of Fudd and Strong, UConn doesn’t have many perimeter players on the...

By insurance I mean having multiple people that he can count on to contribute. I think Heckel would have a role similar to Chen’s if she were to commit. At USC, I don’t think she really had a role or plan other than to be energy off the bench. She did this well, but she may want a more defined...

Who said things didn’t go her way? She could simply be interested in transferring to UConn because she underestimated the value of being close to home. It’s not really fair to assume she’s running from USC because something didn’t go her way. Heckel’s shooting could be better, but she still...

I think Heckel makes a lot of sense for UConn. She’s a skilled passer and understands how to run an offense. Defensively, she’s obviously able to play the top of a press to frustrate ball handlers and is quick. I also think she’s more skilled at getting to her spots in the midrange than Arnold...

If I’m UConn, I think I’d prioritize Kneepkens over Miles.
