Cardoso to transfer[merged thread]

[Boreifs]

I agree with the thoughts in this post other than UConn having ALL the pieces. While for once we appear to have a great set of 4's and 5's, we do not have a shut down defensive guard, ala MoJeff. Williams and Muhl were good but struggled against smaller, quick offensive players. A grad transfer who is satisfied with 6-12 minutes a game and can take the opposition's top 3 point shooter out of her comfort zone would be outstanding.

Whose 6-12 minutes would this shut down defensive guard take? Bueckers, Fudd, Williams, Westbrook, Muhl for three positions.

Any other Syracuse freshman in the transfer portal right now, or do you think this could be referring to Cardoso? Just says 'rumors' at this point though.

Maybe. I see other fans board predicting her to Duke.

Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Guinea Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, & São Tomé and Príncipe.
Except for Brazil, none of them are much into women's basketball. Think she is going to have to stick to English for her college career.

Hey - let’s not forget New Bedford! (MA has the second highest number of Portuguese descendants after CA.)

Edit - sorry And One - hadn’t seen that you also posted this.

Yeah I think this was actually the same site that originally said it was between Auburn and UConn so who knows how reliable they really are. We will find out soon enough.

This team could be so loaded and competitive for playing time, Geno may need to petition the NCAA to widen and lengthen the court to have enough room to play 7 on 7!

My vote is for 48 min games!

With 14 scholarship players on board, there will be other problems than coping with a very quick guard of the opposition. There are other ways: the switching defense just has to be more coordinated and quicker in switches - it took them almost a whole season to be synchronized but there were still lapses. If the very quick opposition guard or wing plays 30+ minutes, what can a grad transfer designated for that do in 6-12 minutes. If you extend her minutes, you take away from the offensive capabilities of the team. So, they just have to get better on team defense to minimize the damage while keeping the scorers on the floor to outscore the opposition. That's how the undefeated team of 2001-2002 covered for DT's weakness: on-ball defense. Of course, DT was good at positional defense, so she won half the battle.

If you get a MoJeff from the transfer portal, she would be starting.....or playing in place of Nika.

Isn’t Kara playing on starting a team full of wing players? Must mean William’s is about to hit the portal.

Jayda Williams? She’s already in and out the portal
I believe unless it’s a different Williams?

Think you are confusing her with Jayda Adams.... who grad transferred to CSUN. Jada Williams isn't going anywhere and will be a Grad Student for Duke in the fall. Go/Huskies was referring to Priscillia Williams... a 6'2 WG.

Lol yeah I was being sarcastic.

Yeah I know.... we do have alot of wings... but ain't nothing wrong with wings in my opinion. I prefer mine plain... with mild sauce and ranch on the side.

What team did not struggle against smaller, quick guards?

Amaya Finklea-Guity is one of Syracuse’s 12 transfers who has already committed to Duke. So this tweet could be referring to Finklea-Guity or perhaps to Cardoso. I could certainly see Kara contacting Cardoso to pitch her on coming to Durham.

Priscilla Williams is a STUD!

Oh no. We are doomed!
Just when I thought Geno was finally getting a decent player.
Over the hill, and made a lousy AC hire TOO.

Amaya is a senior, but did post big things to come my friend on Kamilla timeline.

As I indicated, Kara could certainly be reaching out to Cardoso. What we honestly don’t know is whether or not Geno has any interest. I know many on the BY believe he should pursue her. Personally, I’m ambivalent.

 

[HopJim]

Surprised no one has linked Cardoso with South Carolina. Strong Championship challenger today that would provide her with less competition for playing time than UConn.

Kamilla is following Morgan Valley, Paige and Azzi now on social media so I think the interest is definitely there. We shall see where she ends up!

 

[triaddukefan]

Has anyone checked out the Auburn WBB Board to see how they feel about the situation??

I don’t see her coming in to play behind Boston for 2 years, I don’t think I could see them both playing on the court at the same time either. But who knows! Wherever she goes she is going to make them competitive

If Kamilla comes to Uconn I could imagine we would play 4 bigs 20 minutes a game.

That would leave only 120 mpg for Paige, Christyn, Evina, Nika, Aubrey & Azzi, not to mention whatever minutes Geno can parcel out to the other 5 players on the roster. Just sayin......

She was a blocking and rebound machine. PPG averaged 13.6. She's still a work in progress.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Here's my view: We need more dunkers!

Liv
Aubrey
Ayanna
Kamilla

They would play in their natural positions. The rotation will be super competitive! Have to be playing great, everyone other than Paige will have to compete for minutes.

Interesting, Syracuse uses the same message board software as us. Not too many discussion in Cardoso there.
