Kara did…LOL

damn-mad (1).gif


I'd briefly forgotten that's where she went to school
 
As a rule, I think the management of teams and rosters is best left to the coaches. I don't have any problem with Geno or anyone else recruiting over or even running off players.

I take the side of the adults in most cases. This isn't little league. No one deserves anything. Least of all when they draw a salary.
your post makes way too much sense for this form!!
lol
 
I’m happy for her. I think she could be a star on many other teams with a looser leash. I hope she shines wherever she goes.
I’m happy for her, but saddened by it. She’s very talented and wanted to play freely, showing her stuff that excites the crowd. Dawn Staley held a short leash on her, and now ‘Lay feels like it’s time to end the relationship. Also, many other factors may be involved in this decision that we aren’t privy to.
 
SC coach tweeted(and then deleted) this after Latson committed, in none of those situations are those players coming off the bench like Fulwiley

Folks, please don’t kill me for doing this, but it’s too funny to pass up. But….. While I like Khadijah Sessions, I firmly believe she meant to say, ”shouldn’t have”, and NOT “shouldn’t have”.
Now, let me get back to the current news!
 
Big d is going to be interesting next year as the fashionista moves forward with her Hollywood plan. I understand her theme song will be Glory Days by the boss.
Officially rechristened “the dirty d”.

With her latest bizarre comments she’ll fit right in with the insufferable socialites in Highland Park and $nooty Millionaires University

Love it!
 
I agree. This is a big move though, but not as big as her next decision. Where does she go that can give her let's say 30 minutes, a shot at a title, doesn't create a domino effect on the new team...oh, and gifts her a bag? First thought was TN... but they play hockey shifts. LSU? Ole Miss? Duke? UCLA is promising. ND and USC would fit on paper, but the locker room is another thing.
Louisvile, maybe. Just because it was one of her original choices!
 
If academics are a priority, she'd stay at Duke. If basketball is a priority, she'd stay at Duke. Neither Notre Dame nor Vandy offered a better combination of academics and basketball than Duke did. She won a conference championship and went to the Elite 8 for crying out loud! Meanwhile, Vandy still can't win double-digit conference games and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season!!!!!
Maybe she had issues with her coach, and now wants to be coached by someone else!
 
IMHO Geno will not go after Heckel because of his loyalty to players he recruited that have sacrificed for the program!
KK and Ashlynn were starters at 35 minutes per game because of injuries and when UConn got healthy and got Kaitlyn Chen for one year they took one for the team and came off the bench successfully to make the team National Champions!
Signing Heckel with 3 years left would be "telling" KK and Ashlynn thanks for your hard work but a NEW toy is in the toolbox and we'll go that route!
Remember when Caroline Doty was a senior, she STARTED every game, played 5 minutes at the beginning of each 1/2 as a thank you for the hard work and dedication to our program after 2 ACL injuries!
I think your wrong . When these young woman decide on what school to go to they know they have to improve every year or someone else will step in front of them . No one is promised a starting position, If a coach gets stuck in the loyalty game they will never win a championship. This is not high school anymore.
 
Wow, this is a massive loss for Duke. Numbers don't highlight the impact Okanawa made day in day out for the Blue Devils and she would've been a starter this year. She's an exceptionally good two way player and athlete. No idea where she's going, but if academics are a higher priority I could see Notre Dame or Vanderbilt in the mix. If she goes the Vandy route, a trio of her, Pierre, and Blakes with Washington coming back could put them in the top 10.
I actually do not view it as that massive of a loss, but a very disappointing one. We all love Oluchi and her energy, speed and craftiness. However, we play by committee and things would have been very crowded on the wing next year. Now we move Donovan to the 3 with Nelson. This allows for Delaney, Toby and Ari to share the 4 and 5 spots with Woody filling in as needed. We have Skinner and Mair at the point and Jackson as the shooting guard (Skinner can also play the 2 if needed) Hopefully, we pick up another guard, but we have Koabel to fill in if necessary. It balances our recruiting classes and I think works in our favor for landing wings in the '26 class. Everytime we have lost someone in the portal we have been better for it. Optimistic about how this plays out for Duke in the long and short run!
 
Very confused about what Flaujae is doing, though I guess that's part of her plan -- try to create suspense on whether she's styaing or transferring. Don't love that attention seeking.

No problem with kids who made a deal over the HS commitment -- they've earned a celebration. But this drama over next season is too much imho.
