That is why I said 2018 with a year under Geno and staff. AS has a better all around game than both of them. There is no limit for her. What JPM did for her and what Geno does for her will be like night and day. Brionna Jones IMO should be the front runner this year. I havent seen much improvement in Wilsons game under Staley either. I also said high school reputations follow players to WCBB and in this case it is true. As for Turner she gets her pts from running the lane or off. rebounds because she has a terrible shot from 5 ft and out but she will get POY votes.Kiah Stokes numbers kill hers in half the mins played and she didnt get 1st or 2nd team all AAC in which the league is weak.Watch the jump AZ makes just in attitude. That is what will make her that player..
There has been great improvement in Wilson's game under Dawn. 1) She was the SEC Defensive player of the year as a Sophomore and became SC go to scorer during the latter part of the season when Tiffany got hurt. She was 1st Team All American as a Sophomore and recorded more than half of the teams blocks (100 of 182). She led SC in scoring. Dawn has deployed her to many more places on the floor than she did as a Freshmen. She now can attack from the wing, baseline, and initiate or finish the high low. She now has a one dribble pull up which was not there or rarely displayed a year ago.
Last year if you take Stewie and Moriah out of the equation is she your player of the year? Mine would be easily NO. 3 Morgan Tuck!
My rock coins are on the Caveman.Question...Who do you think will be the first BY'er to report Walker's decision after she announces it? My money is on JavaMan or Orangutan. Those two are the Boneyard's "ACE" reporters.
You act like she is Stewie. She is good but Mabrey and Ogumbawale are as well. Those 2 averaged the same amount as KLS last year and she was a starter and they came off the bench. They should do even better this year as starters. With 2 years under their belt before Walker even steps on the court why is it not realistic? They will have the system down . Iv watched Megan play several times and i dont see her doing anything those 2 cant do. Not as good a shooter as Mabrey and not as physical as Ogunbawale but she has a good all around game. Of course she will play. But at best she splits time and probably comes off the bench.
It will be a while before we have another Stewie, so don't drag her name into your confusement. To simply: When and if Megan Walker steps on the ND campus ( I'm gagging as I'm writing that) she will be immediately better than anyone on the ND roster at the SG/SF position because she has the ability to create her own shot and create opportunities for others. ND would have graduated it's floor general & 4 year starter (Allen). Boley & Young are gifted scorers but someone will need to set them up. Patberg is the only pure PG on the roster and you not going to convince me that ND will start Mabrey & Ogumbawale & Patberg while Megan Walker, Boley, Young watch sit.
I get the feeling if she was still in a Duke uniform you would have a different opinion. I dont see Stevens draining three pointers either. I agree with the limited range on Turner. I brought it up on McGraws Bench and they jumped all over me. All i know is in high school Turner was ranked #2 and Stevens was #23. Turners team has beaten her every time head to head as well. Turner has won more awards in the ACC and been first team while Azura has been second team in most part. Their stats are pretty even head to head but Stevens played more minutes. But Camara averaged 4 points at U.K. and Husky fans act like she is a All American. Shes just a big body. Butler might be better then her. Boley is a beast . She will be one of the best to put on a N.D. jersey. Talk about the whole package.
Not sure how you figure Dangerfield isnt factored in ? Most people think she will start and some have said she will be better then Jefferson.Iv watched enough womens hoops to know a good one. Boley will be one of the best ever for N.D. Young might take a year or two but she will be solid. Patberg will be similar to Allen but more vocal and better leadership if she recovers from her injury ok. Trust me our girls have played with older players to. They've been starting as under classmen and played in about every major tournament since they became players.
If your going by one win last year or many years ago . But in the last 5 years Notre Dame has became the #2 team to U Conn. Not Stanford. Will see how this year goes.
Thats not how i read it. One person was jumping the gun and everyone else said slow down. I have a bad feeling Megan told them she is going to another school so they are getting more aggressive with Westbrook. If Megan said yes with all the guards they have i dont think they would need to chase another one. Its been clear that Westbrooks father played on the west coast and she more then likely will stay close to home. Maybe they went down there to meet the parents out of respect and show them how interested they are in her and to assure them that she is in good hands if she chooses N.D and hope to win them over.
Dude go back on the Notre dame where u belong. U have no idea what your talking about. Mcallie dukes head coach isn't in the same league as GENO same as Mitchell. Stevens and camera under GENO and coaching staff lights out. Come talk to us after they have this year under there belt. And Boyle hasn't played a single game yet. When muffet and Notre dame can win 11 national titles then come back to our board. Until then the Irish have nothing on uconn I don't care what recruits they bring in... Enough said!!
