Next Season's All Americans

[UHF]

For basketball historians on The Boneyard, do infamous pre-season All American lists create any disadvantage for players who were not AA or Honorable Mention AA or All Conference the previous season?

In other words, if players are not on voters pre-season radar, are they at a disadvantage to making the end of season AA or HM AA teams?

Disadvantage but not insurmountable. Kinda’ like a team being unranked in the preseason

Absolutely.

How much does losing Saniya Rivers hurt SC?

It helps them. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Another scholarship slot helps them more than the numbers she was putting up. Having said that, I hope she solves her shooting issues and becomes fantastic next year. Anything is possible.

So if she solves her shooting issues and becomes fantastic, her leaving still helps SC?

OK...

Losing the third best player in the nation as a senior last year, helps them????? Ok whatever you want to believe is fine with me.

I dont think it affects SC much for next year but if Boston/Beale/Cooke/Amihere all declare and Rivers thrives in her new setting I could see it hurting SC long term. Where it could really hurt is 2 years down the road if she joins NC and thrives. They'll have a loaded lineup with her, Kelly, Key and Toomey.

What part of 1 for 31 from 3 do people not get? Shooting .245 overall. She's also not happy or she wouldn't be transferring. How many top players start off shooting 1 for 31 from 3? That's a problem and a significant sample size. If you read my post accurately I didn't PROJECT that she would fix the shooting issue. I was hoping for the best for her. I prefer to be positive when possible.

South Carolina has Raven coming back and a solid recruit in next year's recruitment plus a solid transfer guard. Those are upgrades probably.
