Taniya Latson from FSU should definitely be on here. Would throw Janiah Barker from Texas A&M on the list as well though she’s currently injured, Taina Mair from Boston college, currently 5th in the country in assists as a freshman, and Kylie Lavelle from Drexel.
Great stuff putting this together. Latson is the big one missing, she's averaging 25 ppg, shooting 50/40/80. Vanslooten just has a great knack for basketball watching her play. Good post moves and ball handling skills. Great off the bounce. Rice is another big time standout who will be great. She seems to be deferring a bit to Osborne and it might take another year until she really blossoms. Garzon has been stellar for Indiana too. They lost today but she's filled her role extremely well there.
I agree regarding D Powe. She actually leads MSU in minutes per game. She is doing well in her stats. However I’m most impressed with how she lets the game come to her and her versatility. She starts at the four but the three is likely her best position. She has very quick hands and feet combined with great size for a freshman. Coach Purcell will rotate her to the top of the 1-3-1 zone. She often doesn’t look to score but she is a “plug and play” with the ability to rotate around the lineup and still be effective.Debreasha Powe

Thanks for posting this spreadsheet. I often take a peek and see how players are doing, especially the freshmen players, with their programs. Oregon has a pretty good trio of freshmen players that are doing well.
The truth is the truth. I see your point. Sometimes freshmen are pretty decent but are forced to play and put up big numbers because they are simply the best option. Others play regardless of who is ahead of them. A Watkins is especially in an odd predicament with the mix of talent and experience ahead of her. I really like her game.
Someone told me the fans at OSU call her "The Hammer" Very fitting for a post player.
I agree, and wouldn’t be surprised to see a kid like her in the portal at the end of the season. Saniyah Rivers’ experience at NC St might figure in decisions for a lot of kids at various schools. She got her NC ring riding the bench and now she gets lots of playing time elsewhere.
I love watching her play, her physicality and great hands remind me a lot of Jess Shepard. Beers is going to be very good, she also has some Janel McCarville in her game as well.
Rumor is that Timea Gardiner will suit up for OSU's January 13 home game vs WSU. OSU Fans are pretty excited to see the duo of Gardiner & Beers as our high/low post combo
She won’t transfer. She is getting significant PT - not mop up. . She is from Columbia. Her parents live in Columbia. I’m not worried a bit.
