South Carolina Transfers

[j66kicker]

I think Graves still needs to load his roster up a little. This year he had 9 players. Next few years he'll have more, and already has a couple of high recruits but still..,. I think depth was an issue last year and should be addressed in this offseason. While Sabally will be a POY candidate, every other top 5 team will have one and they might not be able to overcome a more loaded team. Will they be a Final Four threat? Sure, but I don't think they'll be ranked in the preseason top 5. I'm just speaking in that context. When you have Louisville, UConn, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Baylor..... there's 5 teams already with potentially a better looking 2020-2021 team heading into the season. Not to say Oregon can't threaten to put a dent to them though once it's all said and done though.


.....

Adding Westbrook and Hailey Van Lith would go a long way toward this. Not unlikely...

You are right. It was SimpleDawg that made that point. My apologies.

As we all know, the most important stats in judging coaches is margin of defeat in comparative Elite 8 games, and Championship Game .... appearances. : )

I personally think it's pretty clear that 2019 Miss State had a more talented squad than 2018 South Carolina even with A'ja Wilson being the far superior centerpiece. South Carolina was also without Wilson in two of the 2018 losses, but anyways.

this is some pretty trifling stuff we're arguing about at this point.

What point are you talking about?

Love how this thread got really inflated fast.

I'm glad this conference is such a worthy topic of debate, but let's wait till the annual Mississippi State/South Carolina game next year. Then we can all do this...

I've been critical of Vic, but I actually don't think he is the old school defensive coach I thought he was. He's said some things to make me change my mind. He's said that at the end of the day, the team with the most points wins and that he recruits players for their offensive skill set. When we played UCLA in 2018, he said we needed to try to figure out how to score more than them because we probably couldn't stop them. So I think he gets it and has evolved. He's not an offensive guru, but he understands that we have to get points.

South Carolina will be fine after the transfers. HH is staying right? I think that's the right decision for her. She was my favorite non-State player last year.

I wish we could argue about our conference.

You really belong in the ACC.

Yep. They make more since than Notre Dame does being in the ACC.

Not to take us "off-topic" and back to...the original topic, but when do classes end for USC?

I'd imagine Williams is waiting for those to be over because she starts exploring schools...OR did I miss something in these posts.

Exams should be over by next week; classes are already over.

No, please do. Actually, thank you for redirecting this thread.
