Gamecocks 2025-2026 Season

What a funny coincidence. I was looking her up on YouTube last night. That dunk was mightily impressive and looked so natural. She looks like she could be in the Griner/Belibi category of dunkers who get multiple per season. I wouldn't be surprised if she could jump even higher once Molly gets her in the strength and conditioning program. Latson added 4" to her vertical in the off-season, imagine if Tournebize could do the same. One can dream... 😆
 
Dunking is greatly over valued. Yes, Tournabix, at least, has dunked in a game - but that was in a breakaway. Many touted dunkers exist in practice but never accomplish it in games.

The only value I place on dunking is that it shows the leaping ability for rebounding and shot blocking. She looks like a Cameron Brink. If we get her, she needs strength training and some good weight gain to avoid injury.

You should be excited about a prospect who has the athletic ability to dunk, even if she never dunks in a college game,

What has Ashlynn done with her ability to dunk? One per year? But how many shots has she blocked ? rebounds? Those are what counts.

It’s the ability that’s exciting. Not the anticipation of actual dunks happening.
 
I agree with you both. Dunking is overrated. I was more excited about the parts of her highlights of her taking and knocking down deep jumpers. OTOH we see how the media and SM peeps slobber over dunkers and logo 3 shooters - players like Caitlin and MiLaysia, over teams that dominate and win NC’s playing great team basketball. Would be good to win a championship or many, while getting the pub/following from a player doing splashy things on the court. Not to mention the pants creaming that happens every time a very good white player comes around. Friday night likely commenced the Syla Swords obsession we’re going to be hearing for the next 4 yrs.

Yes... and very expensive also. I paid almost $15 for a dozen. Still cheaper than Krispy Kreme but Krispy Kreme is much better.

Well, we got to see all the backups together in one platoon for a significant time in the third and again in the 4th quarters. It wasn’t pretty . Maddy did not lead them to play as a team and all of them seemed to be playing for themselves. The freshmen couldn’t hit a barn from 3,

Tac played well with a double double but it was basically a high school team,

Now, bring on @triaddukefan
