Yes, if you are going to suggest we ditch the FAMS for Flock, you might want to do that via email. You ever seen the movie ”Birds”?? :)

I’m will be going to watch Lay and Keenan vs Morris Catholic (NJ) and the Pauldo twins tomorrow. Also will be watching Joyce Edwards vs Blanca Thomas in a Charlotte Catholic vs Camden battle too! I will let you all know what I see.

YALLL!!! JOYCE EDWARDS IS TOP 2 AND NOT 2!! 40 points 21 rebounds against Thomas who had 18 points 10 rebounds! Very good battle between them. Camden got the win. Also Kim is trying HARD to land her but Dawn isn’t letting Joyce leave her state.

We’re they playing woman-on-woman on offense and defense?

Both zone and woman to woman. Camden was way too athletic to defend one on one so they found a little more success in zone but Joyce was still too much.
 
I can't really understand why Edwards would pick LSU (not even what the argument would be).

I guess I can understand restore Vols to glory, but not really.

Stanford I understand.

She could see the appeal of taking over the team like Reese is doing now I guess. I still think it's either SC or school with a strong academic prominence like Stanford.

I probably asked this question before, but what schools are this young lady considering?
 
She has been offered by and visited a ton of schools. She has not named any finalists. All the major players are involved although I have not seen a visit to UConn. She is on Twitter and tweets about each visit. @joyceedwards24

Love it! Great to see her take advantage of the opportunity.

Something about road games at Alabama that has resulted with some closer than comfort victories over the last few years.

If Stanford is a school that is attractive to Edwards, I would have to imagine Duke could be a threat given the added benefit of being close to home along with the success on the court they’re putting together. She has already visited Durham.

I don't think she has narrowed down her list yet but she's been on a lot visits. She came to SC wearing a Yale shirt if that means anything.

I like the way you are thinking, I like the way you are thinking. She can stay close (but not too close) to home, help us restore order, and get away from that trash mustard based bbq :p:D:eek:;)

Tessa went off against nationally ranked Hopkins. Scored 19 points first half and finished with 27 for the game. Hopkins has nationally ranked players down the roster from top 50 Stanford Signee NuNu Agara and Michigan Signee Taylor Woodson to Top 15 ‘24 recruit Alivia McGill (who SC is recruiting).
 
February should be an exciting month for us Gamecock fans. This season seems to be bookended with challenging games. We had a challenging November followed by an easier Dec and Jan. Now we enter the final stretch in Feb with top 10 matchups against UConn and LSU. Plus, we have games against some of the top teams in the SEC in Tennessee, Ole Miss and Georgia. It should be a fun month of games!

her control & that pull-up J ✅

the more i see, read, & hear about Tessa, the more I come away impressed with her game & abilities . Even though she’s a 5⭐️ & HS AA, she still seems a tad bit under the radar but I kind of like it . so glad she is Gamecock
 
I watched the Alabama game last night, and a couple of things struck me.

1) SC's defense is superb. No one on Ala was capable of getting past a one-on-one defender for the entire first quarter. Ala's points required either a perimeter shot or some serious screening. By serious, I mean on the verge of getting whistled for moving. SC is just too big and quick.

2) even with that amazing defensive effort, the team looked... what's the right word?... uninspired, especially on offense. It seemed like they were mailing it in at some moments. That changed in the second half, when Ala didn't simply fold. Their engagement level went way up then.

I think they are hungry for a challenge like the one they got from Stanford. This bodes really well for the later rounds of the tournament, when they'll finally get to play some real competition. Of course, the games against LSU and Tennessee should also help a bit. They need to be tested to keep their minds in it.

And it didn’t help that the team was coming off a break. Kentucky will be a good test before going on the road for UConn.

Great game from Hall, who is already showing that she’s going to be a valuable two-way player going forward. And Raven Johnson is just a star. And she’s just getting started. I remember seeing some folks question her ranking, but she’s showing flashes of brilliance. Very cerebral on the court.
