Not here, not now. She's very engaged on the bench and with her teammates.
She’s one of mine too. problem for her is that, b/c of the depth in front of her, she is often playing at a point in the game when the best PGs & other experienced passers are on the bench (bless Coop, but she’s not a PG) SF has some of the best hands, quickest step/release of the bigs on the team. she‘s not a bad interior passer either. She made a beautiful pass over two defenders last night to Kitts, who unfortunately, missed the lay in. next year when Raven‘s on the floor with her, slinging those pretty post high entry passes, she’s gonna thrive offensively. she’s already a good shot blocker, just needs to lock in her defensive footwork, positioning, & court awareness
Feagin is fine. She is coming off a high ankle injury and is getting back into the rythym she had earlier. She is getting healthier by the week. Also, she recently did an IG Live last week and one of the questions she was asked was who might enter the portal at the end of the season from our team. She said, she did not see anyone from this team entering the portal. Obviously she would be including herself. She even offered speculation on who might start and what position she would be playing. I think she is fine.
This was not a scheduled live, it was her own personal IG live feed where she was talking multiple things about social life etc.... She spoke about her role and even included herself into one of trhe spotrs that may be a part of the starting lineup next year. Background is that both of her parents played college ball and she was careful to choose a place she and here parents felt would develop her for the next level. Her mom has commented that becasue of their knowledge of the game, they know why she plays and when she may not play. If you follow her on most of her platforms, she is very happy, though any player would like to play more. Dawn is pushing her to be everything that she can be, which is the most talented post on the team, as Dawn has stated numerous times on pressers and her weekly call in show. She is trying to flip the switch on her consistency as she did with Cardoza on her offensive efficiency.
She speculated thae Brea Hall may start at the 2 and of course Raven starting at the point along with Kamilla in the middle. She said she is a four not a three which with Saxton still her and Cardoza's emergence playing with Boston limits her time. She was very comfortable talking about it.
Rhetorical than anything else, but why do we as fans do this with players? Doesn't feel right/appropriate but it could be the protective mom in me.
I felt a twinge of sadness last night watching Haley Jones exit the court remembering that she and Aliyah took their OV’s to USC together. Brought it a little bit home for me. Seems like only yesterday.I don't even want to start thinking about next year. Time is flying by so fast! It feels like these seniors just got on campus yesterday and I'm not ready to let go.
You got that right. It’s like Brea, Zia and Aliyah came in connected from day 1.
Forgot about that.
