Tennessee is definitely up there but UConn takes the cake.
he's not too fond of ND either..........

Saxton is very underrated. Dominated the EYBL this summer leading her team Elite team to back to back titles. She out hustled, scored, and rebounded players like Shakira Austin, Sedona Prince, Charli Collier, and Aquira DeCosta. Really the crown jewel of the class and loves to play above the rim. True sleeper!
Lol, paranoid much?
Geesh, relax. The Gamecocks (and really when you think about it, who the heck decided putting "game" and "cocks" together would make a fine team nickname) are reigning national champions. Life should be good for you right now.
Aside the BY: Aren't NC newbies adorable? They just don't seem to know what to do with themselves. Well I guess it's like anything. You get better at it with practice.
Truly funny and something that, from time to time, every sports fan everywhere has wondered about but was afraid to ask. A gamecock is another name for a rooster in a cockfight. Specifically to South Carolina, here's wikipedia:The Gamecocks (and really when you think about it, who the heck decided putting "game" and "cocks" together would make a fine team nickname)
HoopGurlz is listing Saxton as in the South Carolina fold.It was between us and SC with Saxton. I was pretty sure when I saw that tweet last night it was IRT Saxton. I see someone has confirmed it. Nice get. I will be interested in watching her develop.
Well, there would be less gloating in such a message, but the tweeting seems beneath the Senior USA coach.you wouldn't say that if her tweet was "Just lost another birdie, who flew the coop."

Every recruit is "underrated" on signing day.
She's always been underrated by (hoop gurlz). Prospects Nation knows her potential. She should be a McD AA but it remains to be seen if she will.Every recruit is "underrated" on signing day.

Totally true. It very may well be true. We all know Alana Beard was woefully underrated in the recruiting rankings coming out of high school and there are numerous cases of kids being rated too high who just didn't develop and other kids being lower who ended up being much better. I don't know how much "better" than 50 she is. She IS #25 per PN but that's the only other service I have access to...Funny how that happens.

\somehow I don't see Geno ever crowing like that..could be either CW or ONO...if it makes you feel any better Kenny Kalina says CW is headed to UConn..
Just registering once again my sadness that many athletes have very public signing days, which distinguishes them from all the other kids who go to college, who just quietly send in their deposits. (Or did I miss the physics professors at MIT doing a high five after recruiting next year's genius?) And then we wonder why recruited athletes often don't integrate fully into the student body.

Personally I have no issue with Dawn tweeting. Of course it it was regarding Williams, UCONN fans would be disappointed (and probably filled with a few other emotions I won't mention). Glad to see it was Saxton. With regards to the folks who said ONO wouldn't go where Saxton went - why? Saxton is only 6'2" and is a forward, while ONO is 6'4" and much higher rated (Saxton is 50 on HG). Either way I'm nervous but cautiously optimistic for Williams decision Friday...
If anything, it’s a positive for Nelson-Ododa, who likes to move around the floor. Saxton doesn’t stretch the floor as much as Nelson-Ododa... having Saxton would allow you to also move ONO away from the basket occasionally.. we could use them interchangeably at the 4 and 5.

The South Carolina Gamecocks represent the University of South Carolina in the NCAA Division I. This unique moniker is held in honor of Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary War hero from South Carolina who was nicknamed the "Carolina Gamecock" after British General Banastre Tarleton said Sumter "fought like a gamecock." WHAT? why are you laughing at this picture????

Sorry, at UConn there would absolutely be no one projected in front of her in her sophomore year. Besides, at her size, free movement away from the basket? You must be talking Geno, not Dawn. SEC philosophy demands that size plays primarily down low.If anything, it’s a positive for Nelson-Ododa, who likes to move around the floor.

Since ONO did not play last year due to injury, I can only evaluate her by what I saw during her sophomore season. While she is athletic and runs the court exceptionally well, almost all of ONO’s scoring was 5 ft and in. Hopefully she will be able to extend her range, but that’s not something I’ve seen so far.If anything, it’s a positive for Nelson-Ododa, who likes to move around the floor.

No you're right. SC needs(ed) Williams way more than UConn. But not only does UConn need ONO more than SC, UConn's style of play fits ONO better than perhaps any WCBB team.Dawn moves A’ja around way more than most schools would move around a 6’5” PF/C. I think Nelson-Ododa has that same ability, especially later in her college career. She’s not a finished product offensively. Of course Olivia would mostly play down low at SC, but we have enough versatility at PF/C on campus now and coming that she doesn’t have to live there.
The only competition for minutes at SC for Olivia after her freshman year would be LaDazhia Williams. But I am aware that CT needs her. I think SC needs Williams more than CT, but I’m sure you probably have a contrasting opinion on that as well..
