She (Anna Dewolfe) did drop 24 at Maryland last year, early in the season. I do remember somewhat following the game and being surprised it was super close. It's a really good question though. Besides Lou, I'm trying to think of others who transfered last year from a mid major and really stepped up (Cavinder sister, Abby Meyer, Shaylee G off the top of my head). Lou was a bit older 23/24, and she was 6'1 with really impressive shooting numbers. That's actually why I like Dewolfe because she shot over 35% from 3 and above 80% from the line. I'm really interested on where Beyonce Bea ends up, because she dropped 40 last year in a game. It's hard for me to believe she won't be able to be a solid contributor.So I guess I need clarity from all these posters and their exuberance on these mid-major acquisition. What are your expectations as none of these are Lou Lopez Senechal like (MAAC POY and a demonstrable game against Texas in the NCAAT to give a glimpse of her skills)? Like I said, none of these player pickups move the needle for my perspective on these teams like a Lou or an Abby Meyers at Maryland. Molly Davis was not a real contributor for Iowa unless you call being one of the 8 players who got in games a real contributor. In big games, she had limited time and seemed to hurt more than help. So all you happy BYers please help me understand your expectations so I can see why you all seem to be so excited.
Dillon I fear for the noise level that if you are this excited about these announcements, what will happen if Lauren Betts actually come to South Bend.
Not to get too sidetracked but in terms of great portal pickups last year, I feel like Genesis Bryant isn't talked about enough.
