Aneesah Morrow

[Darwin]

Morrow took 25 shots per game last season, shooting 42% on over 800 total Shots. She took over 200 3’s at a 25% clip and shot 64% from the line. I wonder where she goes that will be a fit.

 

[Charliebball]

Rogers is also really good:
DePaul wasn’t great last season and is losing a ton.

another Big East rival that will be less competitive next season.........

 

[choclate45]

Why not? He is not stealing her, she is leaving of her own accord. Do you think Bruno would rather see her play for South Carolina?

I guess it depends why she decided to transfer out Depaul.

 

[Charliebball]

I mean SC fans are claiming their bench players are better than the 4 seniors they are losing to the draft so why would they need Morrow ? She’s a heck of a player and a rebound machine so someone’s gonna get a very good player

I don't think that applies to their front court.........

 

[Aluminny69]

She would slip right in to Czinano's slot at Iowa.

Per Lila Bromberg on twitter - she's in the portal. Would Geno consider picking up?

Gee Patty. Your post grew legs and ran. You've got over 1,000 views already.

 

[Carnac]

All other questions aside, would Morrow conform to the CD rules?

I don't care where she goes as long as it's not Columbia, Baton Rouge, or College Park.

I seriously doubt she'll land in College Park. Players are bailing out of Maryland in droves, and away from head coach Brenda Frese. There's a reason for the mass exodus. You don't run toward a situation others are running from, and running by you. We should not have to wait too long for her to announce her new destination.

Interesting. A lot would depend on the meeting with Aneesah and the discussion about her role with the program. She is a great talent and would help any program. The key would be if would be, if she is cool with a lesser role on a team because she won't be able to get 25+ shot attempts per game at some programs.

And Sonja Morris last year.

I’ll take her at UVA!

I’m sure if there was anything negative Doug would give Geno a heads up.

I didn’t realize that Maryland was still leaking players in droves. But if they are, Brenda seems to do a pretty good job of bringing replacements in.

I never said that I thought she would go there or would even consider it. I was just identify places I don't want to see her go. I think you leapt to an indirect conclusion. I don't like the coaches at those schools and I don't want to see them get players that would make them better.

My money is on Miami. I bet John Ruiz has already been in contact. I wouldn't blame Morrow for wanting to cash in.

Miami’s Final Four run and the man who bankrolled the NIL deals: Q&A with John Ruiz

Four prominent Hurricanes — Nijel Pack, Norchad Omier, Jordan Miller and Isaiah Wong — have NIL deals with Ruiz's company LIfeWallet.

Morrow is going to LSU. Kim is going to wow her.

 

[Tonyc]

If any coach begins in a player you must ask yourself who will leave. Morrow 6'1 is a great scorer. Where ever she goes somebody on the roster looses their playtime.

 

[sun]

Morrow could become a better shooter if she didn't need to shoulder so much PT & scoring for DePaul.
She averaged 35.2 minutes per game.
IMO she wants both fame & fortune, with NIL money being an important consideration.

The evils of NIL begin:

Miami Women's Basketball on Probation in NCAA's First NIL-Related Sanctions

A name, image, likeness-related violation at the University of Miami has placed the women's basketball program on probation for one year...

www.athleticbusiness.com

"The University of Miami and the NCAA said women’s basketball coaches inadvertently helped arrange contact between a booster and two players, which is not permitted, as reported by the Associated Press on Friday.
The incident with the Hurricanes' is the first in which the NCAA is sanctioning a team related to an NIL infraction, the AP reported.
In addition to the year-long probation, Miami agreed to various other minor sanctions, such as a small fine — $5,000, plus 1 percent of the women’s basketball budget, which the school does not release as a private institution — and a slight reduction in what’s allowed in recruiting.

The NCAA investigated the actions of wealthy alumnus John Ruiz, who has signed several Miami athletes to NIL deals. Among them are women’s basketball players Haley and Hanna Cavinder, who transferred to Miami after meeting with Ruiz — though the Cavinders told the NCAA the meeting had nothing to do with their decision to play for the Hurricanes, the AP reported. "

Unlike last year, the Terps didn’t lose any of their top players to the portal, only seldom used bench players. They return Sellers, Alexander, Briggs, and Masonius. I’m sure if Abby Meyers still had eligibility she would’ve returned too.

 

[Zarathustra]

She won't be in there long. An automatic double-double machine. No doubt there are a lot of coaches that would love to add her to their roster for next year. I'd like to know "the rest of the story." (Paul Harvey) Why is she leaving DePaul? She was a starter and the face of the program, so it can't be for lack of playing time or recognition.

Not to mention that Aneesah's older sister was on the DePaul roster on
their webpage. Two educations for the price of one player??
Best of luck to Aneesah and to Coach Bruno!!! Go Huskies!

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Why are folks saying she wants money and fame? Did she say or hint at that? Maybe she just wants to play on a more competitive team. Very few of these players are making 'retirement' money.

 

[Zarathustra]

Why do I feel like it would be intriguing to watch her play with Clark at Iowa. Two big time scorers. Morrow would be the beneficiary of many Clark Assists, and Iowa has a proven track record with developing post players. Would be interesting but highly highly unlikely.

And IOWA is close to CHICAGO, her home town. Another Megan G.???

I hope not!

I'd like to have her but Doug is Geno's Bud and if he chose, he'd ask: why is she leaving??

I don't care where she goes as long as it's not Columbia, Baton Rouge, or College Park.

Why not? With UConn's line up 2023/24 take 'em all on!!

Mmmm. sorta, I guess. As close as Philadelphia is to Storrs. So if you consider that close, then sure.

Everyone is interested!

 

[Centerstream]

Players have until May 11th to enter the portal, so.... (this applies to any school, not just MD of course)

 

[Sargassoc]

Not sure Doug could legally answer that question (FERPA).

 

[Dynastic]

I guess it depends why she decided to transfer out Depaul.

I am going to go out on a limb and say Morrow probably wants to WIN and make some $$. Good for her, the marketplace is for value and the transfer portal seems to be the new marketplace in sports.

"

That last sentence. If you have to explain the meeting with wealthy alumus John Ruiz, had nothing to do with their decision to play for the Hurricanes...it probably did. Can anyone explain the fascination with the Cavinder twins?
