Are you also missing the point? I'm laughing that you posted on Tuesday that she was in Columbia last week; that has proven to be false based on what Talia tweeted. You clearly posted misinformation. At least own it.

In no way did I make a prediction as to where Kneepkens will end up. She has a greater chance of being a starter at OU or UCLA than she does at Texas or South Carolina, IMO.

OMG....Thx

I have wondered if the West Coast Conference would be considered superior to the Big Sky.

Yes. I don't know or follow exact rankings, but the WCC is certainly considered a better mid-major than the Big Sky. Of course, with conference changes it can be very fluid.

I'm not sure what the future holds, I remember hearing rumors about Gonzaga going elsewhere and I never heard the results of those rumors - I'm not sure I remember what the rumors exactly were. There is so much stuff out there at various times.

I do think the Big Sky probably has moved up a bit with team changes, but the WCC has a number of decent programs and has even snuck an at large bid occasionally.

Gonzaga will be joining the newly constituted Pac-something in '26.

When GU, Oregon St. and Washington St. leave the WCC, I'm not sure it will be much better than the Big Sky or Big West.

That would probably be true without Gonzaga, I suspect. One can look up conference rankings, but like anything else, if you are a 1 bid conference you are a 1 bid conference. In the end, that's really about it, I think.

UCLA is in the middle of a professional cesspool. Texas and Oklahoma are football schools. South Carolina is one of the kingpins of WBB and she would play on national television often and before crowds exceeding 17,000 and many at 18,000......lol.....depends on what she is looking for.

I would guess UCLA.

I would imagine she would slide in for Holley at Texas, which seems like a tremendous upgrade.

I think probably she should start at South Carolina but it's a little more up in the air.

Could be. But, Shay Holle wasn't even expected to be the starting SG at Texas this past season; it was supposed to have been grad transfer, Laila Phelia from Michigan until she had a retina issue with one of her eyes and ended up redshirting. If Phelia is healthy, she would be the starting SG. So, I'm not sure where Kneepkens would fit in at Texas as starter unless a 4-guard offense is the plan.

Texas could be close to getting a commitment from 6'1 Ashton Judd from Mizzou.

I never said, definitively that she was in Columbia, just that it was my understanding she was in Columbia that day. If I said I saw her at Soda City Market that Saturday, you'd have a point. OTOH, Okot WAS photographed at the downtown market yesterday.

I agree. I only pay attention at all because a pretty solid source has confirmed Del Rosario did visit this weekend.

It appears the blind hog found an acorn. It's Del Rosario. Will be official soon. Can't say I'm overly excited, but, who knows, maybe post coach Ashley Earley, Shea and Tom Garrick can unlock something in her. Like I said in another post on the Vanderbilt 2025 thread, it's pretty much a no-lose situation. Sacha Washington will be back as the starting post, so if they can get anything out of Del Rosario, it's a bonus. If not, it's a big bench with plenty of room.

I found a new saying to use to mix things up with my colleagues today. This board never fails to deliver. :)

LOL your delight at Southernisms (rocket surgery!) is my favorite non-basketball joy of this board. Between you, me, and the fencepost, the more common version is "even a blind squirrel finds a nut," but hog-acorn is not unheard of. Would love to see a heat map and see if it varies by region within the South.

It never hurts to have several versions of a phrase at the ready. Helps to keep things fresh ;)

First, Southern dialect and phraseology is the only proper way to speak.
Second, I remember a few years ago ago during a press conference when Coach Schaefer used the phrase “Katie, bar the door” when describing the results once Chloe Bibby reached her full potential. She was sitting next to him, and you could tell by the look on her face she had no idea what he was saying.

Y'all better hope that she didn't visit any BBQ places or eat any peaches. That would be a bad way to lose a possible commitment.

You could fill the Library of Alexandria twice over with things Miss State fans have never heard. Just ask an Ole Miss fan. :)

(reason I initially mentioned geographic heat map is, from personal experience, my guess would be hog-acorn is more upland, mountain South, which excludes all of Mississippi)
