You mean the "Only Beef Brisket is Real BBQ Network?"
That is a bummer that Iowa State won't get much national coverage. I like the Cyclones and huge fan of Coach Fennelly. I love his coaching philosophy and style and I really love what he is doing with Audi, which is just letting her play. Playing through mistakes & successes.
Williams from LSU is top 3

Didactic or pedantic?
Didactic as I don't think our colleague was trying to be "annoying" per se' (which is what being pedantic would have connotated), just pointing out an issue on Kitts. Plus I want to give him the benefit of the doubt though he may have been pedantic!
The problem Williams has is she is the 3rd option on this LSU team whereas with ISU and Ok State, those players are the top options. Plus, let's be honest, LSU has to now play tougher opponents even in a weak SEC conference than they did with their 103 ranked OOC schedule that allowed Williams to beat up poor opponents. Add in the fact Reese was out for 4 of those games allowing Williams to have the ball more. She's back, Morrow is more comfortable and don't forget about Van Lith who will want the ball more. Williams is a really nice player but she will not be in the top 5 by year end.
Gonna disagree with you. I guess we will see, but Williams performance vs Colorado and VT show me she will likely to continue to stick out in those high profile games and is capable of being that go to player even with all the talent on that roster. I actually think Williams will be more efficient than Hailey Van Lith when SEC play is all said and done. And let’s be honest, LSU does not have a bench so Williams and that starting 5 is gonna essentially play a lot all of SEC play. More so than they would like, which could cause issues for LSU down the road.
Other than Hidalgo, the freshman I am most impressed with is at Texas: Madison Booker. She has the size of Watkins, but reminds me of a Magic Johnson PG with Larry Bird game.
I wonder if Magic and Larry have ever discussed if they'd morph themselves.
The future is bright in Ames. The Cyclones took their lumps early in a challenging OOC schedule, but they're now a better team for it. (Take note other WCBB coaches: having a young team is no excuse for scheduling pathetic nonconference schedules.)
See the post by DefenseBB on 1/3. He laid out many performance measures.
After looking at ESPNs rankings of the week (frosh, player, team, etc), I went back to the recruiting rankings to see how this current list compared to final HS rankings, and yes, there were changes to the list. The right hand side shows the remaining HS ranked up to 20, that were not in the latest ESPN list. Toomey is in italics as she's out for the season.
