Players starting out better/worse than expected

I’ll prob get heat for this but i was expecting much more out of Serah Williams
Fair enough. Her production has plummeted from what she did at Wisconsin, playing against a slate of good Big 10 teams. Some transfers have come to UConn and thrived, some have not.

Heckel's not had a good start either.
 
Speaking of which, fans were pretty excited about Brynn McGaughy at UW. Against a weak schedule, her production has been fairly limited. She shows signs of having skills, but I was expecting much more than 5 1/2 points shooting below 40% against this level of competition.

She didn’t put up big numbers at USC, I don’t think many people thought she’d be an impact transfer player this year
Right? I thought she was going to a stacked roster, and was going to get lost in the shuffle. But she's carved out a role as the first guard off UConn's bench and backup PG. I think she's doing good for UConn.

To contribute to your thread... this might be a little unfair since she's a frosh, but Addie Deal. I consumed a lot of preseason Iowa media and it seemed like she had a ton of hype. Tons of questions about her to the coaches and online every raved about her. She must have a sizeable fan base that created the hype. I was anticipating more

Agreed about Deal (and Heckel). I think fans were hyped since she was the first high ranked recruit since CC and came in with overblown expectations.

Adding in Ava Heiden for outperforming expectations. She had good moments as a frosh but is looking like a breakout player

Bella Hays might follow that route. From the little bit of Iowa I've watched this year she's shown potential. She probably won't play a lot, but maybe next year she'll make a big leap.

Layla Hays plays for Iowa. Layla needs to get stronger and she'll be very good.

For the past 4 years I have tracked the noted marquee players across D1 for All Conference and All American consideration. Last year I tracked 125 players and this year it currently is 105. I usually collect the Stats at 10 games, right before Conference games start, at 20 games and then right before the conference tournaments start and then right before the NCAAT.

As I have the last few years, I can +/- of noted players. The OOC is really not a good barometer but it’s a start of the list of names to fully track.

Sorry, no time to spend outlining and updating Sue to hosting 16 relatives for Thanksgiving. As I said, I will publish after 10 or so games and right before the conference games start in mid December. But feel free to start your own….🤭
 
Haven't been able to watch Iowa State games yet, but peeped Jada Williams' stats for the season. Her scoring may be a bit down, but her assists per game has almost doubled from last season. Will be interesting to see if that holds up or remains close to that average for the balance of the season.
 
For those unfamiliar, Sira Thienou at Ole Miss had a really nice freshman year. Big, physical, efficient. Struggling this year with their new roster.

Last year: 10.5ppg, 49.6% FG
This year: 8.1ppg, 30.2% FG

Like Coach Yo a lot as a person and figure. Not convinced she’s great at maximizing her talent.
 
Add Shay Ciezki at Indiana to the mix. Averaged <12 points last year, up to almost 22 now through 6 games. Indiana won’t make much noise this year but could make the tournament.
Currently has 33 points vs Iowa State with a quarter left to play. Problem is, Audi Crooks has 36 right now for Iowa State. I know she's already a star so not sure if she deserves mtnion here, but Crooks averaging over a point per minute on 74% shooting through 9 games is an incredible statistic.
