I think our defense is still top 25. It's just we're used to being top 2 or 3.

It would be hilarious if we won a title with a team that had to win shootouts against elite opposition, because I could imagine Staley celebrating through gritted teeth.

happy grin GIF


And here's my inner child secretly excited about it. I have no qualms admitting I'm a suck for these moments.

Are we guessing as out a commitment based on Skim Mulkey’s Dancing Dawn or has their been a birdie sighting?

I don't think we have a birdie sighting. The rumor is starting to go wild, so maybe it has wings?

I did watch a Dawn Staley interview the other day that I need to rewatch because one of the reporters asked about getting a midyear enrollee and she kind of brushed it off. I didn't think much of it but I need to rewatch and overreact to every wrinkle and slight smirk on her face during that interview question and answer. 🤣

Found it @ the 8:41 mark for those that want to read between each facial expression and every little word she says (or doesn't)...

 
Rumor has it, Alicia Tournebize has committed for 2nd semester, and Skim is also predicting Jerzy to SC.

Skim has posted a South Carolina GIF twice today. Some think there may be two birdies in the nest.

Not sure if the kid has ever visited Columbia, but if I were the Chickens . I'd do my best to keep her away from the BBQ, underwhelming peaches, and the spine crushing bumpy and raggedy highways y'all have down there. Just some friendly advice.

Would love to have Jerzy in early too. She could get some SEC playing time.

Tournabize need training table and to get her body shaped by Molly. She would take a beating by SEC bigs if she tried to play now

We look terrible at the half. No Okote equals no rebounds. Dauda and Tac are doing nothing

You better hope she stays away from that communist state of North Carolina. Whatever NIL money she earns will be taxed to the core.
 
Despite the 40 point win over p/4 Penn State, the ‘Cocks did not look good. Okote and Makeer dressed and participated in warmups, but Dawn scratched them off the availability chart prior to tip-off. Makeer is in concussion protocol and Okote is still weak from a virus.

The absence of Okote was glaring as Penn State out-rebounded us 51-43. That ain’t Gamecock basketball! Merkle and Smith got 9 rebounds each for PSU while our two back up post players managed only 3 each.

But we ran and ran to wear down their bigs. We forced 36 turnovers off 17 steals leading to 42 fast break points. Joyce Edwards scored 29 with many coming off the fast break.

A completely unsatisfying win that pointed out how weak we are without Okote. And I am reminded that our lead over Texas turned into defeat when Okote fouled out. I’m very dubious about our team without her. Tac and Dauda are not showing anything in backing her up.
Head bang

Dauda was a McDAA. I am shocked that she has no offensive game. We offered Tac after Koval went to ND

I never would have thought Sakima was the most talented of the 3. She is doing well at Cal as a starter

Some the videos online are when she was 15. Her BB body has filled out nicely. She is not a stringbean..
 
Lord, do we need Okote back! We actually do better offensively if Tac and Dauda are on the bench. At this point, they are extra bodies there to give a breather to Okote, or to play in a foul trouble emergency. On the other hand, Maddie is looking better each game.

In the recent past, we could count on our bench for 30-40 points per game. Those days are gone. We have a tremendous starting five (with Okote), Really hoping some overseas help shows up after the first of the year.
