Thought so. Thanks.Yes

Someone please check on our good friend triaddukefan. Let’s all chip in to send him a care package of cheerwine.
I would like to add “1000% committed” as well…only for them to transfer a year or two later.I have no problem with these players transferring as many times as they want. It’s their choice. The social media posts about the sisterhood, running it back, etc., should not be taken seriously
I’m with you 100%I agree. She passed to Williams and back out. But Williams was not as flashy a player as her. Would she so happily pass to Morrow, a clear rival for the spotlight? And would Morrow give the ball up to her? That’s what I meant by “interior passing.”
South Carolina was very involved with PaoPao out of high school. It doesn’t surprise anybody that follows recruiting on our side that she’s taking another look. It was mentioned in our private conversations that she would probably take another look at SC the minute she entered the portal. Doesn’t mean she’ll end up here obviously.Paopao set to visit South Carolina? Even though this tweet states "Gamecocks" and "Columbia", part of me wonders if someone misinterpreted info they received that she would be visiting "USC" and assumed it meant South Carolina and not Southern California.
And, she's from southern California and started following a Trojan player or two on Instagram right after she entered the transfer portal. Either/both "USC" make sense for a visit; I just wonder if there was a possible misinterpretation.South Carolina was very involved with PaoPao out of high school.

To add on. Kim did very well with multiple bigs at Baylor. It'll workIdk about Morrow in particular but despite Reese’s full of self antics she did pass the ball quite a bit inside, whether it was to another post or to an open guard on the perimeter when the D collapsed inside.
Reese’s assist numbers jumped up from a sophomore at Maryland
Sophomore season: 41 assists to 81 turnovers
Junior season: 81 assists to 80 turnovers
Honestly that’s an impressive jump. I’m honestly as impressed with this level of improvement than anything else she has done.
I'm sure the list of schools where she would NOT fit would be shorter than the list of schools where she would be a good fit.PaoPao would be an excellent fit at SC, the shooting combo guard (40% from 3) they covet.
Ooouch!!! No one can blame her for being PO!
With their guards and Kendall Bostic back at the 4 this addition this will rise Illinois up the BIG and nat'l ranks.Camille Hobby is an awesome addition for Illinois. She's a post player who simply knows how to play her position.
Taina Mair currently on a visit to Texas.Not really a surprise......hope we have Taina Mair on speed dial...
YesTaina Mair currently on a visit to Texas.
Did Mair already visit Duke?
JP was a defensive liability at UT her freshman season, the main reason for her lack of PT. As for your comments on her height and ability to shoot over shorter players….you apparently have not watched her play. She has an unusual shot release, it’s been described many different ways, but it’s basically a push shot release from shoulder area. Doesn’t fly against D1 defenders……I think she would be wise to consider it............not only is JP an excellent shooter, she's willing to do it within the structure of the offense........her height allows her to shoot over smaller defenders and is helpful defensively.........
She is a poor fit at Texas.I'm sure the list of schools where she would NOT fit would be shorter than the list of schools where she would be a good fit.
Okay expertShe is a poor fit at Texas.
I've been watching her play since she was in junior high and I've seen her score over short, medium and tall defenders .........let's see how she does at her next destination......JP was a defensive liability at UT her freshman season, the main reason for her lack of PT.

In defense of Justine’s shooting motion, it’s similar to Caroline’s, a shoulder level push shot, and she is able to get that off against D1 defenders pretty regularly. Where she differs from Caroline is overall court craftiness. She doesn’t have the broad arsenal of clever flip shots and passes, and she may not be quite the defender Caroline is. On the other hand, she may develop these skills at the right school.I've been watching her play since she was in junior high and I've seen her score over short, medium and tall defenders .........let's see how she does at her next destination......
I've just been watching some Tennessee game tape and she sure looked good against Central Florida a team we know well........she was a guard for a long time before a late high school growth spurt to 6'3" so she can handle the ball and has pretty good court vision...............In defense of Justine’s shooting motion, it’s similar to Caroline’s, a shoulder level push shot, and she is able to get that off against D1 defenders pretty regularly.

I've been waiting to see a player who can't get off their shot. Siegrist dang near releases it in the defender's face. If they made it to D1 they can get a shot off. Making it...is another story.In defense of Justine’s shooting motion, it’s similar to Caroline’s, a shoulder level push shot, and she is able to get that off against D1 defenders pretty regularly.

New breed of players. Jersey at Arkansas. Shakira at Ole Miss. Even Angel Reese, but she scores inside. Shakira excelled at the midrange game. Jersey and Pissott are 3-point gunners that are not trying to go inside unless they just find themselves there. They will figure it out. And the best to ever do it at this height...Breanna Stewart.I've just been watching some Tennessee game tape and she sure looked good against Central Florida a team we know well........she was a guard for a long time before a late high school growth spurt to 6'3" so she can handle the ball and has pretty good court vision...............
when I saw you give her height as 6'3" I did a double take. Last I saw her, I figured her for 6'2" at best. But I just checked the Tennessee roster and they listed her at 6'4". Does anyone have reliable info on her? If she's really 6'4" and shoots as well as she does, a lot of teams will want her.I've just been watching some Tennessee game tape and she sure looked good against Central Florida a team we know well........she was a guard for a long time before a late high school growth spurt to 6'3" so she can handle the ball and has pretty good court vision...............
