Early in the season I thought they did, but several didn't seem to develop. Still could be some potential with Lepolo and Nivar, but they have a long way to go.
Agreed...a lot of unrealized potential. Haley Jones just seems like a human bowling ball without much technique. She tries too hard to bully her way under the basket for a layup when it isn't there and hunts for fouls.
Agreed, it was a hard-earned and well-deserved win for Ole Miss.
Love Haley's demeanor and floor game, but as a guard (if that's what she is...) it really helps when you can shoot it. I think her "regression" is more about the backcourt beside her getting weaker and weaker as Williams, Wilson, and the Hull twins graduated.
Agree completely. Long over due and an action that continues to warrant action.
They've partially changed their nickname. They go by the landsharks in some scenarios. This actually reminds me of a student newspaper poll when they were rebranding. The most popular vote was to make Admiral Akbar (leader of the rebel fleet in Star Wars) the new mascot, but it was vetoed by the administration.
I really just don't see her as a guard in the WNBA. At all. Maybe a wing but more of an undersized PF. Just doesn't have the handles. She does have nice court vision, makes some great passes, but too turnover prone. And as EVERYONE keeps saying, just doesn't have the outside shot. She actually seemed to be improving in the middle of her career, then went way downhill this season.
She calls herself a point forward. But, yeah, she can't shoot with much range; at the next level, if you are 5'11 you need to be a good shooter.
I think Tara turning her into the primary point guard, something that she’s not, for the past 2 seasons has really hurt her development in other areas. Also, why did they never run plays to get Jump open or backdoor plays for Haley? The entire offense seemed to be either dump it to Brink or have Haley go 1-on-1.
Haley is usually said to be about 6'1" but your point is well taken.
Yeah, I don't think she's even 6'0. Maybe they measure her hair!
Is that a Fletch reference?Yeah, I don't think she's even 6'0. Maybe they measure her hair!

She’s definitely taller than 6’0Yeah, I don't think she's even 6'0. Maybe they measure her hair!
One of the reporters tweeted a quote from Tara that was misconstrued. Basically the tweet was something along the lines of “our men’s team would be happy to play two tournament games.” it was taken out of context by everyone, so I’m assuming that’s why the tweet was deleted.The tweet was deleted. What happened?
Hey, Triad, if you're out there, at least you made it that far. My Deacons got crushed today in the NIT... probably not much consolation for you, but it's pretty bad for Wake fans.
