Maybe Duke so that she only has to move her stuff a few miles????I honestly don't even know which school would be a good fit for Deja Kelly. LSU and TCU have loaded up on guards. USC and UCLA each picked up one transfer guard a piece.
To me there are actually a few.I honestly don't even know which school would be a good fit for Deja Kelly. LSU and TCU have loaded up on guards. USC and UCLA each picked up one transfer guard a piece.
Is Deja Kelly good at basketball? Her 4 years at Chapel Hill have been consistent. She shoots a lot, and makes a low percentage. She's especially bad from 2, where every year her attempts place her in the top 10%, and every year her percentage places her in the bottom 30%.Top list is getting smaller and smaller.

Your restraint is admirable. I thought you might feel compelled to respond to Kelly's brag of helping build UNC back to a "national powerhouse," but you passed. Again, admirable restraint.Kelly should go to SMU. Not sure what part of Texas she is from, but its "home". She could stay in the ACC and face familiar foes... be the face of the program for a year. Plus get the chance to face off vs her former school and drop 30 pts on 6-28 shooting.
I won't answer that question. Supposedly I'm biased.

Uconn if at all go for Barker or Dauda … bigger and athletic would help, or just don’t do anything big again like last year.What a difference a week makes! I updated this list as 9 bigs have found new homes. Pickings are getting slimmer but there are still some real quality players available.
Did someone say there are no quality bigs left in the portal? Not including Beers as she is deciding between two schools. Obviously "quality" is subjective but it looks like there are still plenty of post players with "big" potential available.

The only one with height I'm seeing is transfer Jersey Wolfenbarger, 6-5Why do I get the feeling Janiah Barker is gonna end up at LSU? Mulkey has no height coming in so far, right?
Wolfenbarger is 6-5, Del Rosario is 6-6, Smith is 6-2 and athletic, Morrow 6-1 and athletic. After that it’s thin though. I wouldn’t be surprised if they land Dauda, she was a Baylor commit before Kim left for Baton Rouge.Why do I get the feeling Janiah Barker is gonna end up at LSU?

I would be. Has Dauda trimmed her list? I thought I read somewhere that out of her initial 20 or so teams, LSU wasn't one of them. I think that surprised a few folks.Wolfenbarger is 6-5, Del Rosario is 6-6, Smith is 6-2 and athletic, Morrow 6-1 and athletic. After that it’s thin though.
