No subscription but got to love the picture as Paige takes a jump shot over Azzi with that (I got you) smile
and Dorka doing a good Lauren Jackson imitation. Don't get near my pt. guard

Thanks for posting: Subscription Needed. It doesn’t waist our time if we’re not subscribers.

So does ANYONE have a subscription? I know we can't cut/paste the entire article, but snips are allowed. According to them, who's up and who's down?

Good article. Lengthy paragraphs on each player, but most has been covered elsewhere.

Risers - Mainly for having a good practice season so far

Muhl
Ducharme
Fudd
Bueckers
Gabriel

Fallers - Mostly health related issues

Griffen
Poffenbarger
DeBerry

No one else mentioned.

Unfortunately the injury bug is real and, while I hope it doesn't, can seriously impact an athlete and prevent them from reaching their full potential.

Biggest surprise is Caroline. I thought it would take her a while to get acclimatized to high major college basketball. Apparently I was wrong.

The best player in college basketball is having a good practice season? You don't say.....

Well, they actually said it and, to be fair, they covered how she's fully recovered from surgery and Geno's comments that "Paige is better than she was last year."

I know, right? I was very surprised when Geno indicated that both she and Azzi could slot right into the top 9 pretty much right away.

No problem. If I wasn’t such an officious idiot I could have found another way to alert you, but I always go for the laugh. Hope you won’t hold it against me and will be nice when I make an even more egregious mistake !

It’s just fine. One day I’ll learn to double check before I post.

Azzi I thought was a possibility. She is just a physical specimen. You can tell how much work she puts into the game. Caroline? I didn’t expect it. Pleasant surprise.

Well, she is the "Sneaky Good Silent Assassin" after all.

My waste is bigger.

My community collects the garbage twice a week. Sometimes the garbage bags on the curb are bigger than the actual garbage.

Yeah. That aspect of my waste is pretty big too.

Honestly, if Paige has made a big jump . . .

 

[D J B]

Honestly, if Paige has made a big jump . . .

Well, Geno said that after surgery and recovery that she's better than she was last year. Not sure if that's a big jump or not, but I do remember someone saying once that if you work 2% harder than someone else, you will be 99% better than they are. As Geno says, Paige works her ass off.

 

[Amashutcha]

I wanted Williams on the risers list. Hopefully she becomes sneaky better this season.

Geno said in one of the Big East videos that if Christyn wants to get to the next level, she will need to become a consistent 3 point shooter. He described her now as a "streaky" 3 point shooter.

interesting that they didn't list anything for Olivia or Dorka. I think it's not bad tho for Olivia, Dorka on the other hand not being on the rising just tells me that she won't be starting right away event though some have said they want her in the starting lineup opening night which I always thought was never going happen. You just don't get a transfer and in 2 months they pick up the system and and replace a 3 year player who has been here the whole process. I don't expect Dorka to make any big contributions until maybe the second half of season if she does at all.
