Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5345982, member: 12088"] I was surprised to see this remark from Charlie on Oklahoma: [INDENT]Jennie Baranczyk had the rarest of offseasons for the modern-day college basketball coach and didn't hit the portal. Instead, she did her work recruiting one of the top incoming freshmen in the country in point guard [URL='https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5311585/aaliyah-chavez']Aaliyah Chavez[/URL]. The two-time Texas player of the year should make [B]a Sooners team that already thrives in transition even faster.[/B][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] Maybe it's just me, but last season's lineup based on Skyler Vann, Reagan Beers, Peyton Verhulst, Sahara Williams does not seem particularly speedy. Liz Scott and Zya Vann did indeed add some flashes of speed, but not enough to make this seem even remotely like a fast roster. And in the Sweet Sixteen game, they seemed downright lethargic. What's more, their high turnover rate suggests more a team that aspires to running in transition but hasn't really managed to do it against top competition. With the older Vann sister moving on, and the addition of Chavez, the roster may well become a bit quicker. But I'll wait to see them make it work in transition before I believe it. [/QUOTE]
