Is she any good? Or should I save a gif for something else?

Wow, now I am impressed with Kara finally getting “a big”!
Freshman year at OSU, Kennedy was clearly better than Taylor Jones, then she got hurt and Taylor benefited. If and it is a big IF, Kara can get a fluid offense going and gain consistency, Duke won’t be playing on Wednesday’s in the ACC Tournament anytime soon.

Is Duke out of 'ships yet? Or do you still have room for Latasha Lattimore and/or Lauren Fields (who was on an official visit to Southern Cal this weekend, and will visit Texas on Monday)?

That's all I needed to read/hear. Wished she would have committed on Friday... its kinda late on a Sunday night to get turnt up in Greensboro.

One scholarship left. Unless someone transfers out.

Huh? Have to very, very strongly disagree with you here. Jones was a stud as a Fr. Brown was good defensively, she's been struggling to find her offensive game her entire career. Started playing probably her best ball right at the tail end of her time at OSU.

Iowa State fans must be ticked. They were hoping she would make the move to ISU and partner up with her sister who is a 2023 commit.

Cameron Swartz to GT

I really like her game. I was at the NC State game this year when they took them to ot and almost won. She's a bucket, and plays with a lot of energy. I was hoping she would go to Georgia as they seem to have revamped well via the portal. GT lost a lot of talent this summer. Wishing her the best tho

Jones was clearly better than Brown...she averaged almost 13 points per game playing with Brown (who averaged 6.2 points) about the same rebounds (7+), more blocks, and shot 58% from the floor to Brown's 36.6%. Great post moves and footwork inside. Should help out Texas immensely and be a solid upgrade from Lauren Ebo.

Jones also has like a 7’1 wingspan.

Jones also has like a 7’1 wingspan.

In a interview last year she said her wingspan was 6'10", but still very impressive for a gal who is "only" 6'3".
She can dunk in practice, but never has in a game.

KB is an intelligent 6'6" BIG. If she improves her shooting from the free throw line extended, she will be a great addition to Duke. KB is fundamentally sound, solid defender, and rebounder. I wouldn't expect her to be a primary offensive weapon, but a complimentary offensive addition.

Would have been nice to find a BE team and go against her sister a few times.

Now that you posted this, yeah, I wonder why she wasn’t contacted by any of our other schools who are clearly better programs than Ball State (though 3 are clearly not). I wonder if an Illinois Assistant Coach landed at Ball State and made the effort? Damn it, now you made my head hurt from thinking! Curse you Eebmg, curse you!

Of course it might go the other way. Maybe being on the losing end of blowout games is something Nika would not want for her younger sister??

I now have 2 Oregon State University reasons to make Duke my favorite East Coast Team. Go Blue Devils!

Lol at Poffenbarger being ranked ahead of Warren. Lots of big time talent still uncommitted.

That's an interesting ranking list by Creme. Was surprised he didn't have Esmery Martinez higher. He also had Priscilla Williams towards the bottom.

He didn't have 6'6 Stephanie Soares (Iowa State) listed at all; she is coming from an NAIA school, I believe, but curious where she stacks up to the other transfers who have already announced their decisions.
