    Wowsa: Tennessee taking it to Notre Dame

    To be fair Kellie has mentioned a few times how few offensive sets they've put in so far and will be adding more to the offense as the season goes. 6 newcomers and only really three returning players that saw significant minutes last year and she wanted to get the defense up to speed first. We...

    Interim UCONN Recruiting Update

    Tayler Hill from Minneapolis South was pretty highly ranked. Angel Robinson (which is her cousin I believe was too). Liz Podominick was highly ranked but I believe she spent most of her college career injured. Nia Coffey was top 25. Minnesota actually has a pretty decent list of WCBB studs...

    Kobe: Daughter "Hellbent" on Playing For Huskies

    Perhaps Kobe can let her spend some time with his childhood friend from his time in Italy... Tamika Catchings. She needs some better influences in her life. ;) Just kidding... I hope she gets to enjoy her youth playing days and if her dream is to play at UConn and that's how it ends up what a...

    Jordan Horston

    Tennessee did not have Deshields. She left before the arrival of Westbrook, Hayes, Davis and Kushkituah. It was Nared and Russell as seniors with Cheridene Green a JC transfer, Meme Jackson a junior with limited experience and 3 of the freshmen with no experience who played the majority of...

    Jordan Horston

    Like I said, I wouldn't care if you are anti Holly or anti Tennessee. That is to be expected on this board. That had nothing to do with what I criticized. I'm from Minnesota and live in California so I'm not from "down there." My allegiance to Tennessee is born from respect for Pat and almost...

    Not that ironic if you know me. Maya plays for my home state. Got nothing but love for her and have defended her plenty.

    Jordan Horston

    I've seen ONO play quite a bit. She is a finisher and is much stronger than her frame might indicate. You guys got an elite level frontcourt player. Her injury and time off from it might negate how effective she is early on but she'll be fine. She works her tail off and has a great basketball IQ.

    Jordan Horston

    A UConn board that I have frequented over the years and have had many good respectful conversations on regarding all things WCBB. I know a number of posters from way back in the ESPN message board days. I have family that are diehard Husky fans. So I have a different level of respect for the fan...

    Jordan Horston

    We will gladly "have" her. It's amazing how a teenager can get so much flak for making a huge decision that is not easy to do. The process is difficult and stressful and all she has said is that she prayed a lot and mentioned how she loved her UConn visit but just had a different feeling at...

    Jordan Horston

    We have a similar new member over on our board who claims to be in the know but also states they aren’t sure and has contradicted themselves multiple times. Perhaps the same agent?

    McDonald's All-American rosters announced

    From what I've seen and what I've heard 2018 is a much deeper class. 2019 and 2020 are going to be some of the best classes ever though, especially the top of the 2019 class with Rickea Jackson, Sam Brunelle, Laeticia Amihere, Jordan Horston, Zia Cooke, Elauna Eaton, Celeste Taylor, Diamond...

    Home-court heroes in WCBB

    When it's all said and done Tennessee will have played 3 neutral court OOC games along with 7 home and 3 away. I do believe one road contest with either Duke or another ACC team was supposed to be on the schedule but got pushed back a year due to venue availability (or something of that nature)...

    Elsewhere on Fri 12/8

    Thank you for the correction! Ok State has usually been guard dominant and as mentioned before they have a great lead guard this year but they now have skilled bigs and depth at the forward spots. Them and WVU are much better than I thought they would be this season. WVU obviously was ranked...

    Elsewhere on Fri 12/8

    Much talk about Azura Stevens and Jess Shepard as impact transfers this season but Loryn Goodwin for Ok State has had maybe the biggest impact. She had 29 points in the 10 point loss to the Lady Vols, 35 points in the 3 point loss to Miss State and a 27 point performance versus UCLA tonight. I...

    #12 Tn v #20 Marq

    Nared is averaging 18ppg and 11rpg. She just had a 26 point game and 21 point game after flying into Cancun late Wednesday due to family stuff. She is tough and has shown a great amount of leadership this season... something the Freshmen acknowledge often. She has improved every season and...

    Non-UConn Recruiting Information

    2018 roster for front court players would be: 6'3 Mimi Collins Fr. 6'4 Kasi Kushkituah So. 6'3 Cheridene Green Sr. 6'3 Kamera Harris Jr. So, yes, bolstering the frontcourt depth is going to be a necessity. However a 4 guard offense might force Holly to expanding her offensive schemes away from...

    Lynx @ Sparks - 9/29/17

    I sure did. Ha. Although Prince is an above average defender and is the back up to Alana on Maya.

    Lynx @ Sparks - 9/29/17

    Whalen is hit and miss versus LA (and so is Augustus). Montgomery has a very good history of playing well versus LA so I think Cheryl is more comfortable with Renee versus LA if Whalen starts out poorly or not aggressive enough. LA has possibly 4 of the top 10 defensive guards in the league...

    30 chosen for 2017 National Team Training Camp

    Her true colors showed when she averaged a triple double in USA's last overseas Olympic tune up tour and both EDD and Breanna Stewart remarked how much they appreciated Parker as a teammate for her guidance and leadership... which is virtually what every teammate Parker has had says about her...

    DeShields leaving UT, going professional

    I would never want to bash Diamond. She is kind and caring person. But the Lady Vols will be better this year IMO because of the baggage that has been unloaded. Baggage that was speculation for a long time but in recent months reared it's ugly head. We finally have options at the point...

    USA 16U Team Trials - General

    Some of the "men" involved in big roles with recruits these days spend more time attacking/belittling each other in defense of their egos versus actually promoting the girls that are making them money off of claiming to be recruiting and talent experts. With that said, there is a lot of truth...

    USA Women’s U19 World Cup Team Trial Roster Announced

    For as good and Megan and Evina are, they both will have a tough time but I wouldn't be shocked if either made it either... I just don't think that the guards ahead of them in college experience are decidedly better.

    U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

    Lots of talk about ONO down in Knoxville too as well as South Carolina. I hear from a lot of supposed insiders that SC is the most likely landing spot for her but of course who knows how much truth is in that belief. Some fun facts/connections... She is the sister-in-law of Dearica Hamby who...

    Non-UConn Recruiting Information

    Knowing and having talked to Decosta she is most certainly looking at everything, especially coaching style and development. She also is likely to go far from home so some familiarity is wanted. That is why it is believed Tennessee and Louisville are the presumed front runners for her.

    Davis & Gray Declare for the Draft

    I saw on twitter some folks saying that Dawn talked about the possibility of adding to new players coming in. They bring in a great wing talent in 6'1 Elisia Grissett. She is the #4 ranked wing in the 2017 class. 6'3 LaDazhia Williams will be a great player IMO. She is better than most of the...

    Davis & Gray Declare for the Draft

    I don't mind players going if they are seniors academically. Not everybody wants to be in school for another year when they finally reach that point where they can go start making a living for themselves. Most women have their degrees by their third year anyway because so many of them take...

    Deshields staying at UT

    Apparently the most recent comments by WNBA talent scouts were that Diamond was likely the #1 pick so her draft stock had nothing to do with her forgoing it.

    "The gift of Gabby" in the Courant

    I love Gabby. Seriously, I am envious of you guys to have this girl on your side. Some of you say she may not be a DT or Stewie but love her for who she is and so on but I honestly see so much of those great players in her. I see a lot of Catchings in her too and she reminds me of a mix of Swin...

    LaDazhia should've been there, for sure. Kakala was solid though. But Kenny about everything... EVERYTHING. Warranted or not.

    OT - Los Angles for vacation?

    If you are into golf and slower pace with good hiking, scenery and such stay in Palm Springs/Palm Desert about an hour and a half outside of LA. You can fly directly to Palm Springs. There are a ton of casino resorts and spa resorts to stay at. If you wanted to do anything in LA area it is not...

    U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

    I think most of us that follow recruiting closely knew UCLA was likely her choice. No biggie. Rennia Davis is still on the board for us and that one we feel a little more positive about. For a while she has been considered a GT lean but Tennessee was her last visit and it sounds like we have...

    Tennessee, no great shakes against James Madisoin

    Guards didn't box out all game. JMU is pick to win their conference I believe and Precious Hall is preseason POY. She had 39 on 15-35 shooting including a half court shot and about 5 or 6 prayers at the shot clock buzzer. They have a freshman guard get 12 rebounds... again guards not boxing out...

    Stay Classy Brenda

    Actually it has more to do with tampering with other players... Parker being recruiting by her into her sophomore year for example. SWG and Parker weren't the only ones. Ask most Big Ten and ACC schools how they feel about her. It is incredible that she has anything resembling a respectful...

    Stay Classy Brenda

    Oh Brenda, the coach who recruits players half way into their sophomore year at other universities. The woman is the leader of the ethics dumpster in WCBB.
