How do we know that Jana won’t develop into a decent offensive player? This was only her 1st year of playing against competition in the US. I thought she showed some skills that could be developed further.

I think she will certainly improve on the offensive end......she simply needs to stop rushing the ball transfer and keep the ball held high because she's been too turnover prone.....

Yep. The Kitt that learned probably best to redshirt out the freshman year.

Is she good enough to play with Chloe at SC? With Sakima in the portal, I believe SC has three spots open.

I’m not familiar with her game to say.

Dawn’s former player at Temple and her former Director of Operations, Cynthia Jordan left SC three yrs or so ago and was hired at UF to start her career as a coach. Dawn is in need of an AC with Winston Gandy leaving. Is it possible Dawn brings back Jordan to her staff and Kitts follows?

I'm guessing with her Do Not Contact that she will be joining her sister and platooning with her.
For some reason, I would have enjoyed seeing Chloe in a UConn uniform...oh well. (I'm referring to her pre SoCar.)

Hard not to like Kitts. Works hard and leaves it all on the court. She's kind of how I imagine Ashlynn Shade (whom I adore) would be if she were a few inches taller.

I predicted before the season that this would happen. I believe I posted my thoughts in the off-season She has been at Duke for 5 years..... has her undergrad degree and is in grad school. West Coast Kid......... been away from home since Summer of 2020. She only has 3 real seasons of play (Duke shortened her frreshman year after 4 games and missed last year with a ACL injury). I can see her playing at a mid major like Pepperdine or UCSB, UCI type of school.

I'll definitely miss her... would have loved to see her play her final year in Durham as she was a valuable and reliable player as a backup PG for us. Definitely provided the spark in our Sweet 16 victory. One final note.. she was the last McCallie recruit.

Other than Betts, name me one other true Big in the country who can consistently score? As for Bigs getting in foul trouble, they all do, including Betts.

Audi Crooks would like a word - 23.4 ppg. A few others come to mind: Reagen Beers and Sedona Prince, for example. I'm not really sure what "consistently" means, but they averaged 17.3 and 17.2 ppg, respectively. All are 6'4" or taller. If by "true Big" you mean someone who never tries or attempts to shoot treys, well, they're an endangered species precisely because when you can have a Stewie, Candace Parker, or A'ja Wilson who can do it all inside AND threaten from beyond the arc, "true Big" is simply a liability.

Agree with your suggestions. I guess my point would be there are very few bigs in the country who are consistent scorers. You may be able to count them on one hand. ;)

Agreed. I honestly think it says as much about the runway for "true Bigs" in today's game. There's basically about as many true centers in the W as well - among top players, I can think of the Joneses (Brionna and Jonquel), Griner, Shakira Austin, Cardoso and sorta/kinda Boston and Reese. Even Tina Charles regularly takes and makes treys these days.

A'ja did not threaten from beyond the arc in college. Did she even have 20 attempts in 4 years? I'd say the same for her handle. What she had in college was a solid midrange game, a quick leap off the floor on offense and defense, great shot blocking ability and really quick feet. And she was money on putbacks and layups. Like many bigs, her game expanded quite a bit once she got to the W. She is a tremendous shooter and ball handler now. Same is true of the Joneses, Azura, Austin, et all. Their games expanded greatly in the W.

Edit: sorry, meant to reply to @TheFarmFan.

Tennessee not shying away from recruiting players with some major red flags. Signed the Pauldo Twins (more so their dad having red flags than the girls), plus UT is apparently in talks with both McMahon and now McMiller. All 4 are extremely talented but I personally wouldn’t touch any with a 10 foot pole if I’m trying to establish a good locker room culture.

The tweets have since been deleted, but someone responded to this and said they were surprised to see Tennessee on this list, and wondered if Kiyomi was lying again (as she got caught doing on her previous list with Louisville), and Kiyomi responded saying, "Yea I lied lol"

I don't think Tennessee is getting anywhere near this one. I was surprised that Tennessee seemed to be pursuing McMahon, though.

I could never see a scenario where Tessa Johnson would leave SC. However, she has been my favorite player not in a UConn uniform, and her game and size fit UConn like a glove if she ever decided to enter the portal.

Not suggesting poaching, but in this new age of the portal, Tessa owns the top spot on my wish list.

It's bewildering to me seeing the number of first-year freshmen leaving top tier programs like USC, UCLA & ND. I get coach/player conflicts, but it seems the women's game has entered into a one-and-done mentality if things don't go accordingly to plan.

Is it NIL, or the demand to be an immediate contributor?
Expand ...
And the demand/desire to be an immediate contributor might be to get (more) NIL.
Players don't want the circle to be broken....
