Last year, if you were a member of the G-Hive (which is the WBB fan club) a pair of OOFOOs were included in the FAM box at the beginning of the year…It also included a t-shirt, sticker, poster, etcI'm all for WCBB being represented, and I have great respect for Coach Staley. I just don't need to see her feet in that OOFOS commercial.

Agree with this, though I do think post depth is a potential concern if the seniors leave and Feagin is still coming off the bench. I think it’s a hard sell to have her backup the bigs for a 3rd year in a row, and if she’s gone it’s slim pickings inside. Dawn’s a great recruiter though and was the first one to really milk the portal, so I’m sure SC will still put out a great squad. If rumors are true that Morrow is in the portal, I think she’d be a great fit on the wing SC. Athletic, high motor and a great rebounder. Push Hall to the 2, she plays the 3 and SC is lethal.
I think Feagin will start. She obviously has patiently waited and Dawn has stated that she is naturally our most gifted post on the team. She will be a great compliment to Cardoza who will draw alot of attention. She runs the floor well, is automatic in the layup area and has a nice jumper to be able to play hi-lo with Boston. I see Watkins being the one to come off the bench as she will provide a stronger defensive presence when Cardoza has to go to the bench. Listening to Dawn, she has talked many times about how naturally talented Feagin is and she can be a double digit scores as we have seen on nights when she gets her minutes. This will help with some of the points we lose in the paint to graduation.
Yeah, she definitely has a leg up on Watkins on offense but Watkins looks like she will be a gifted forward too. I question both of their defensive capabilities. They both seem to have mental lapses where they are the reason a defensive breakdown happened. I think the player with the biggest jump on defense in the off-season will decide who starts at the 4. Feagin is also the only true backup to Cardoso.
I think we need another big also. Next year’s team will be quick with a lot of offensive weapons, but Dawn’s probably going to pull her hair out on defense, although getting more practice time with the group will help that. I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do. We actually will have Raven, Bree Hall and Kamilla who have ALL played a lot. I know Dawn will be very picky about who she brings in but I know she’ll get someone good. She always does.
She's got our whole fan base worked up wondering exactly that after that message. Monetarily I don't think she would take a hit tbh. She makes bank off NIL. I don't think it would ever even be about money to her, anyway, tbh. I'd assumed after her "letter to Gamecock FAMs" linked a little earlier that she was gone for sure but maybe not.
I really do hope she comes back. Do you guys have enough room for the other seniors scholarship wise? I can't imagine Beal and Cooke would leave if Boston came back.
With so many players bowing out, if I’m Beal or Cooke “I’m out”. They have a great chance of getting drafted and sticking with a team this year. The next 2 years are just going to be a cluster. I honestly can’t imagine Aliyah staying. Being the #1 pick? That’s been her dream. Who knows.
She’ll still be the number 1 pick next year. Sounds like Clark won’t enter the draft next year and Paige is dubious with all her injuries, not sure who would be picked above her?
This isn't football.
