Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4750656, member: 2117"] South Carolina has a ton of potential though it’ll take time to get situated. There are few bigs in the country I’d take over Cardoso—she’s a great rebounder and finisher inside, and was markedly better last year than as a sophomore. I could see her effectively as a more mobile Teaira McCowan for SC. Raven Johnson quietly put together a really nice 2nd half of the season as well for you guys—she’s an excellent decision maker and the offense will shift from being pound the ball inside to involving more perimeter shooters. I’d also look for her to call her own number more. Everyone remembers Clark shooing her off, but once Johnson started taking the 3s, she hit them. Having a very good point guard, an elite post and athletic support players is a recipe for success, and SC looks like a well built team heading into next year. They also have one of the best coaches in the country in Dawn and the players on the roster to be an elite level defensive team. I think they’re still a title contender and would put them at #3 or #4 going into next season. I’m not sold on UCLA like so many are, and I think SC will prove to be a better program than Ohio State. A side tangent, but you gotta wonder if some of the freshies regret going pro this year. Beal didn’t make a roster and would’ve been a much bigger presence for SC as a 5th year player, Amihere would’ve started this year too, etc. [/QUOTE]
