I don't believe Jump was ever thought of as a PG target for Stanford, though I'm not sure if she ran it much in HS. IIRC, she actually played more of a forward role in HS given her 6'0" size.
Yeah she's giving me Araion Bradshaw vibes. She could be good to great player but not amongst this roster. Sadly I do think she's was probably one our best 3 point shooters too.
Pretty sure the rule as stated by the NCAA was the 2020-21 season did not count as an eligible year so you could play or not, it wouldn't count. Dodson chose not to play, but her three playing years prior to 2020-21 and this year all count as eligible years.
Notre Dame's Maya Dodson denied sixth year of eligibility by NCAA
Notre Dame forward Maya Dodson was in a no-lose situation. If the NCAA denied her request for a sixth year of eligibility, she could instead prepare for the upcoming WNBA draft. Well, it's time for her to start thinking about her professional career because the NCAA defightingirishwire.usatoday.com
One and done: Notre Dame grad transfer Maya Dodson denied 6th year of eligibility by NCAA
Maya Dodson helped power the Irish to a 24-9 record and an advancement to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 in her lone season aboard.www.indystar.com
Nearly all players around the nation have been granted a fifth season of eligibility under the NCAA’s COVID-related policy.
What’s different for Dodson is that her fifth season would’ve spanned six years overall, although other players have had careers that have spanned at least seven years, sometimes at multiple schools.
Further, when Dodson sat out in 2020-21, she even cited the pandemic as one of her reasons.
Meyers also played 2 years before 2020-2021 and then played this year - she has only played three years, therefore she has one more year in grad school. She would have that year whether she played in 2020-21 or not.
You may be right but defense was very lacking with her, which she never saw the floor. I wish her well. She a talent for sure. Could be a spot at Maryland for her. She’s from Baltimore. Nice young lady. I wish her well.
Terps have enough wing players. Wouldn't be a good fit in College Park.
Brenda could put 5 wings on the floor at the same time. Now that’s positionless basketball…
I agree. She played fast but a little out of control. That can happen when a player gets little playing time and wants to shine in their few minutes on the court. In a starting role she could be a beast IMO.
Hey, it's kind of working for the Toronto Raptors this season!Brenda could put 5 wings on the floor at the same time. Now that’s positionless basketball…
She kinda got dealt an unfair hand. She was expected to push and make things happen with little playing time. In some ways like Zia but unlike Zia she didn't get to start as Freshman.
How did she get dealt an unfair hand? She’s been there 2 years and couldn’t break into the rotation. After 2 years the two freshmen guards played better defense. If we hadn’t gotten The 4 AA freshmen she may have been a contributor. Once those other girls got there her playing minutes we’re going to be limited. She’ll be a nice pick-up somewhere. She’s a good player but to say she got dealt an unfair hand is just not true.
Maybe unfair isn't the right word, perhaps a tough hand, even Dawn has said before she asks a lot of Eniya to push the ball and make things happen. I just think she never got the appropriate minutes to really find herself and do it well at this level. The only other players she demanded as much from in that way was Zia and Henderson. Henderson navigated it well and Cooke benefitted from lack of depth her freshman season to get those minutes.
Raven Johnson was also way ahead of her in the rotation and will be returning. IMO Talaysia Cooper will be ahead of all of them when it is all said and done because of her ability to score the basketball.
From what people told me on the Terp boards, Russell wasn't recruited by Maryland.Brenda could put 5 wings on the floor at the same time. Now that’s positionless basketball…
She has reopened her recruitment. That mean that she is no longer committed to Georgia. Her name isn't in the portal because she hasn't attended college yet. Only college students in the NCAA or NAIA are in the portal. I don't think JUCOs are in the portal either.
You prove yourself in practice to get playing time. As long as you prove yourself there, Dawn will give you an opportunity to play, even if you make mistakes when you do. Its the pattern she's followed with all her players.
