Howard considering UConn?

Well now we know how bad Dawn wants her. I heard the entire coaching staff has a pair.... including coach Fred LOL!

Somehow I don't see Geno or Vic Schaefer picking her up at the airport in this...

That might be UCONNs problem that their system is too difficult on incoming players even experienced one's.......First, they need to learn how to play one on one defense.........UCONN got exposed in the half court defense by ND......

Yes 4 fouls on 3 main players will do that to you.

They got the 4 fouls, because they couldn't play one-on-one defense. When you are a step slow and get caught out of position, you foul.

Notre Dame ran their game plan to perfection against UConn and Miss. St. Go back and look at the 2nd halves of both of those games. On just about every possession, Notre Dame was taking the ball to the basket.

Give the foul talk a rest. Teams that take the ball to the basket will get more foul calls in their favor than teams that shoot jump shots.

You give it a rest. Watch the replay some of those fouls were not fouls and had nothing to do with playing defense, so get your facts right.
 
Sounds like it’s between Mississippi St and South Carolina.
 
Good for Vic and MSU. I hope the land both kids - they lost a lot this year and a pair of 1 year transfers could tide them over until the next recruiting cycle arrives.

Not sure how they would even be able to get both. If I’m not mistaken they were at 14 scholarships this past year and lost 4 seniors but brought in 4 freshmen. If they get both where would any of their freshman recruits play? They will have McCowan, Bibby, and Campbell. Add in White and Carter (freshmen posts) and possibly Howard and Taylor. That’s a major logjam.

Anriel’s birthday is Sunday and word is she may decide then, so we will see.

This guy in his last podcast when he talked about Anriel’s visits, failed to mention FSU and said Howard was supposed to visit UConn but that visit likely won’t happen. I don’t believe he has any deep inside information for this prediction. Not to say Howard won’t still end up at MSU. Her mom definitely spoke very highly of her visit there.
 
The SEC is full of craziness..... whether it be Football or WCBB :confused:

I don't think Taylor is eligible until after McCowan graduates, so it wouldn't be as bad of a log jam. A lot of posts on that roster though. I could also see Vic going with Howard at the 3. She'd fit in well there and she'd have a chance to improve her perimeter skills since she isn't going to play the 4 in the pros. Taylor would be a huge get though for Vic. 6-5 post with a 7-0 wing span....sounds like another McCowan esque recruit in that she's huge, raw, and has good upside. Based on how he's developed T, it'd probably be a great option for her too.

If Anriel goes to MSU, she and T would both be gone before Taylor plays. I have a harder time seeing Lashes as a WNBA 3 than as a 4. Her perimeter game would need to improve a lot. Maybe that’s part of her decision to transfer, though... looking for somewhere she can be more of a 3. Part of the post-visit reaction was that the MSU staff had a plan for her.

Howard is not a good enough ball handler or shooter to play the #3!

I don't understand... "this guy" says in his latest Podcast that "she was supposed to visit UConn but that visit likely won't happen." That visit ALREADY Happened...it was her 1st or 2nd visit... This whole thing is wacky and giving me headaches.

Thank you! I am so weary of the goofy British-inspired nonsense about “collective” nouns. As in soccer, “Germany are moving the ball with pace.” Sounds absurd, and it is absurd. What it the subject? In this case, Germany. What is it? In this case, it is a team. How many teams? One. The subject is singular, so use the singular form of the verb.

Why, after all this time are we now coerced, especially by the mass media, to adopt this new-ish euro-centric nonsense. Because a thing may be comprised of multiple sub-parts, we should not necessarily require a plural verb. This does not advance the use of language, it stalls and confuses it.

“This box of rocks are heavy.” It sure is.

You're more direct about what I was trying to say. :)

Coming from me I figured it might be viewed as sour grapes.

A team of what?

11 players. NOT 11 player.
 
Not sure it was ever confirmed that Howard was at UCONN, it looked like Williams was in Storrs, while Howard was somewhere poolside that weekend.

Howard reminds me a lot of Nina Davis, undersized four but doesn't have long range or ball handling skills to move to 3. I think that is what ultimately hurt Nina's chances for the WNBA. However, she has seemed to find her stride overseas. Howard is relentless like she was.

Next year (green=F/C):
SR - McCowan (Starter), Holmes (15 mpg), Danberry (10 mpg), Garvin (2 mpg)
JR - Campbell (9 mpg)
SO - Bibby (14 mpg), Scott (5 mpg), Tate (2 mpg), Allen (injured)
FR - Taylor (redshirt), + 4 incoming Frosh (1 G, 1 W, 2 P)

Miss St redshirted PG Taylor this past season bc of a logjam. Could do that again.

Also possible that someone is transferring out but not announced yet.
