Turns slowly. Swims away. Bit stinks too much.

How many TEAMS don't score 44 against SCar.

Yeah. I forgot Bout that stout defense. Well hope she drops 14 on yall
 
The prospect of Rivers and Hall, with their length and wingspan, sharing the court and towering over opposing backcourts was always very intriguing to me. Now I look fwd to seeing them possibly going up against each other in future match ups. I would be quite surprised if the two schools don’t re-up another home/home series as they put together their non-conf schedules.

Saniya Rivers finds new home at NC State

South Carolina transfer Saniya Rivers said it essentially came down to the official visits to NC State and UNC.

Some interesting comments from Rivers. I too hope we continue to play NC State as well, we owe them a whopping in Columbia anyway!

She brought up some good points especially as it relates to Covid preventing visits is pretty big deal when it comes to something as important as choosing a college.

I don't understand her story about not playing in the NC State game though. If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure she had a broken nose and was on concussion protocol to start the season. Oh well I hopes she kills it at NC State and finds her shot again.

I chuckled about the "My teammates didn't want me to shoot. Every time she shot and the ball would hit the side of the back board people would question why she was shooting too." I mean, you have to earn your PT. If she thought she should get in the game just because she was from NC that is a problem. Incredible athlete. I hope she'll be happy at NC State. IDK if we play them again next year but that game will be fun.

Meh. Nice article and definitely about what I would expect to read from somebody transferring from one program to another. Valid points made about her being unable to take official visits and her shooting woes from beyond the arc.

If I’m being honest, I’m still a little salty about losing Rivers. I think she’s immensely talented and a future AA.. and honestly I wish her well. But I’m quietly over hearing about her.. she’s a rival now. I’m glad she’s happy but I’m moving on. Begrudgingly.

No love lost here. Seems the 3 who stayed are grounded and know exactly what they want for their careers. Losing Rivers would’ve stung more if we didn’t have a replacement for her athleticism and length, but with Cooper coming in I feel just fine.

There was a definitely a disconnect with her shooting compared to the rest of her game. I have never seen someone looks so solid and amazing in their game and miss so badly at times. But if I'm being honest, if my teammate is shooting only 25% from the field, I would be hesitant of them as well especially if the goal is a national title.
 
Will Dawn bring in a 5-player class next year or will she hit the portal hard? We will have about 6 players left after next year's graduation. Cardosa will be draft eligible so she may leave as well. I think she will go after 4 or 5 high school kids and maybe 1 or 2 from the portal.

I think Cardoso stays. She wants to be a top 5 draft pick and she’s not there yet. I think you bring in 3-4 in 2023, and probably hit the portal for 1-2.

Cardoso, Feagin, Hall, Johnson, Watkins, Cooper is a solid nucleus, but depending on how our ‘21 kids develop you will definitely need to bring in a top 3 class in ‘23 and a few ready to go portal kids if we wanna stay at or near the top.

SC will be stacked again in 2023, but there’s definitely room on the roster after that. The good thing is that we won’t be the only team reloading.
 
I think Rivers will be very good and will be something we missed out on that I don't think Cooper replaces. Wish her the best.

@TC22, I too chuckled hard at Saniya’s statement about her teammates not wanting her to shoot. But, I just look at it as the words of a young talented over-confident player, who didn’t understand all the intricate areas of the WCBB game. However, she has won a championship with the nation’s #1 team, is a year older, and has now joined another team. I’m hoping that she’ll Grow up a little bit, use all her talents and lead her new team to a national championship. Nothing but best wishes to her.

I’ve seen both play in person on multiple occasions. Cooper will provide all the qualities Rivers has, and she’s a better shooter.

I think Cooper is a better shooter and she is good athlete. However, Rivers is an elite athlete. I will miss seeing her glide up and down the court. In the end I think Cooper will be just as good if not better than Rivers.

As far as Cardosa, I hope you are right. She might take that step this season, which is why I am not sure about her coming back. It would be nice to get Del Rosario for insurance. I feel confident we will land her for some reason. She knows she will get develop here and will be a focal point. My wish list is Fulwiley, Del Rosario, Kitts, and Williams. I know people think Williams is a long shot. However, they thought the same thing about Boston. If coach Law is on her, it will not surprise me if we land her as well.

Personally for 23’ I would like to see us land Fulwiley, Watkins(we are actually recruiting her very hard for a west coast girl), and any of Kitts/Booker/Prosper.

For 24’ Cambridge, Edwards, and Thomas or Koval.

I agree with all you said except the leading her new team to a national championship. :)
 
I hope this second NC leads to recruits from west of the Mississippi committing to come to USC. I had to familiarize with the Williams and Watkins names you were mentioning b/c I pretty much pay little mind to recruits from the SW and pacific parts of the country since Dawn hasn’t had success yet getting those top HS recruits to come here (Betts being the last one I payed attention to and of course, :(). I pretty have concentrated more on recruits from the east and Midwest.

Lol we have the same exact wish list.

Same for me as well, however I REALLY like Watkins. I would be fine if we got Williams but in watching Watkins frequently I get goose bumps every time. 6-2, long, incredible handles, extremely high motor on both ends, and a shot maker from everywhere. She has obliterated the EYBL circuit so far and I like our chances because I’m hearing she’s not exactly set on staying West. She wants to be seen in prime time action on the big stage and in front of larger crowds. Who does that sound like? ;)
