S.C. Gamecocks 2023 off season

[cockhrnleghrn]

Was looking at her Uncle's IG since he was the one who made the IG post of them at South Carolina and lo and behold... her cousin plays softball for Clemson.

LOL, I just did the same thing. We're shameless.

I'm in serious birdie withdrawal. Dang. Come on with it already. LOL.

Now that we got our birdie, I need for you to work your magic and politely encourage the birdie to make herself known!

I just had a birdie of my own,

A fried two piece with a biscuit

You should be thrilled, nobody from Duke is a birdie.

Yeah, it would have been a riot if that happened. If one person pouting and throwing pillows qualifies for a riot.

I still have issues with The Nest.... it should be called the Coop

 

[JDuro]

Yay! Got my top pick out of the portal.
Good to see Raven and Breezy in the comments.

 

[Alydar]

Odd that she would want to back up Johnson?

Omg...talk about timing. At the exact moment I opened this thread and began reading your comment, Chopped on The Food Network played the sound of a Rooster crowing.

She’ll likely be starting with Raven.

 

[Creature]

Could be?

She will play the 2 at SC, Raven is the 1. PaoPao was 42% from 3 last year, just what the doc ordered for SC….now just need a solid backup up center for when Cardoso is on the bench, just solid needed.

Huge get for Dawn. Pao Pao is a stellar shooter and would be a great 2 alongside Johnson. She seemed stagnant at Oregon but was brilliant as a freshman and had huge moments throughout her career. Likely pushes Hall to the 3. If they haul in Morrow too they have a legitimate title contending squad again. Pao Pao shores up perimeter shooting, Morrrow gives them the go to presence and once again they’d be able to outrebound everyone between her, Cardoso and Watkins inside.

Everyone always overlooks Feagin, she was the top scorer last year in points per minutes played, she will have a huge role next season and lastly, Kitts will emerge to work with Hall at the 3 for a dynamic 1-2 punch from that spot. And yeah, I fully expect Watkins to be a beast.

There were ten on the roster before PaoPao committed, now 11. I expect one solid big to be added as a replacement for Cardoso when she is out of the game, taking it to 12. That is a manageable roster. Cooper is going to have to work real hard now though to see meaningful minutes at the 1 or 2 because Fulwiley won’t be denied.

 

[GamecockFam]

Let's gooooo! I'm so excited. I think she'll be a perfect fit to steal Zia's minutes and back-up Raven.

Loved seeing how excited the team is all over social media.

Competition breeds success if you have the will to compete.

I think she'll mostly play the 2.

 

[Darwin]

I think she'll mostly play the 2.

No doubt, look, Raven is the best passing PG in the SEC…she is not going to be beaten out as starting PG. PaoPao plays the 2 like she did at Oregon.

 

[JDuro]

Some Oregon numbers last season:
Endyia Rogers - 35 GP / 32.5 min / 136 ast (3.9)
Te-Hina Paopao - 35 GP / 32.7 min / 117 ast (3.3)

She played the 2 very well at Oregon as your stats show….and yes, she played minutes at PG as she will at SC next season, same as Cooke did. Seems like a perfect match tbh. Looks like a smooth transfer as far as roles go.

Gamecocks WBB add transfer pledge!

Dawn Staley adds to her 2023-24 roster!

Last year the team made 101 3pointers. Pao Pao made 81 her herself last year at Oregon.

Chicken eggs are eaten. Birdies grow up

Are we playing Stanford this year, or was that only a two year home and home agreement?
