Transfer Thread Pt 2.....

There were 3 players on this years OSU team that went to the WNBA and Calhoun still made honorable mention. The other players on there respected teams had NONE. If you switch Calhoun and those other players there is no doubt that her stats in every category would rise and she would have made 1st or 2nd team hands down.

You're making my point Coco!! They didn't win any chips until Calhoun was there with Mitchell. Calhoun was that factor. If you break down the all conference teams when those players/teams matched up with OSU Calhoun scored more or equal to some players that made first or second team.

Fact check much? Sierra Calhoun scoring average actually went down in Big 10 conference play this year. Not exactly a good way to make an all conference team if you ask me- and you did ask me!

Depends on how it fits together, but the possibility is there for things to be a lot more uptempo and free flowing.

That might be more fun to watch than force feeding the post.

I'm not sure it will lead to better results, but ought to free Harris up for a better season if the chemistry works.

Thinking back to last summer, Ty played off the ball in the U19 tourney and played very well. Maybe with Cuevas-Moore, Henderson, and Cooper to help with the ball handling duties it should allow for Harris to have better scoring opportunities like the Tennessee game.

It changed because you started biggin up Calhoun way beyond anything she has ever accomplished. My original post had a bunch of caveats which seems to have been glossed over so let me just repeat them:
1) I am going to take much grief for saying this
2) It will never happen in a million years
3) considering the history but,...
4) of all the transfers,
5) especially those that are immediately eligible to play
6) Sierra Calhoun would make an excellent addition to this year's UCONN roster.
I then went on to say that Sierra Calhoun is a comparable player to Danni Williams and that if UCONN was looking at Danni they might as well look at Sierra.
We parted ways when you jumped in with this crazy talk about Big 10 team running a triangle and 2 on Calhoun (never happened). Calhoun was the OSU4th best player unless we ignore the All big 10 teams selections.

First of all you need to ask the Coaches from the Big TEN what they thought about Calhoun. Secondly there's no reason to lie about what defense a few teams in the BIG Ten they played against OSU. Thirdly I agree that Calhoun stat wise was the fourth best player this year on OSU stat wise, and that was because of the situation. To make certain accolades the Coach has to put you in position to reach that. Geno is the best at it when his team has that type of talent!!

Notice the backsliding you are doing? Now it was a "few teams" in the Big 10 that ran this phantom triangle and 2 against Calhoun and Mitchell. Before you said:

If you where you would've seen how the big ten conference was guarding Calhoun and Mitchell they was in a triangle and two against Mitchell and Calhoun in many games.

So which was it, a few teams, the big ten conference, or many games?
 
I didn't count all the games teams applied that defense, but it was enough to notice- lets just say that. Finally the next Coach Calhoun is going to play for I'm sure is going to put her in better position to reach the accomplishments you speak of.
 
The plan was always an August (second summer semester) graduation for Anriel (according to the A&M message board I visited in the Spring). Some posters suggested she needed more than 2 classes a semester each summer session.

I don't know the rules when it comes to announcing (or more importantly, signing) a verbal commitment as a grad transfer, but technically, she is two semesters away from obtaining her undergraduate degree. Perhaps you have to be in your last semester of undergraduate coursework before you can announce/sign with another school as a graduate transfer. Now that I think about it, if she really is an August graduate, I'm surprised the NCAA allows for official visits two semesters prior to actually earning a degree. I'm sure there are several rules we are not familiar with in this process.

Interesting development for Arkansas. Seems like Neighbors is quickly improving the talent level. Mystifying to me why he did such a bad job of recruiting at UW after Plum and Osahor were in the fold. And his former lead assistant Barnes is killing it at Arizona. I can't understand why Seattle is such a hard sell for recruiting. Not an obstacle for football, men's hoops, volleyball, softball, etc.

She's an unproven element, to be sure, but still a good pickup for UCLA, which is in near-desperation mode after all they lost to graduation.

I think desperation is a bit extreme! Rebuilding, sure. But while they don't necessarily have a star like Jordin Canada or Monique Billings returning, they have several solid pieces with Kennedy Burke, Lajahna Drummer, and Japreece Dean while rising sophomores Aussie Chantel Horvat and uber-athletic Michaela Onyenwere showed plenty of promise as freshmen.

One thought: 4 classes is actually one semester, she just needs two summer sessions to complete all 4... thus she would technically be only one (or less than one) away from graduation.

Seattle is a great city to get a cup of coffee in, but with an average of 150 rainy days per year, it can be a little depressing.

The A&M threads I read on their board had some suggesting she still needed 18 hours to complete her undergraduate degree; so that is 6 three-hour classes. But, I'm guessing some online classes could be an option, too. Again, that is just rumors on their boards.

I'm not buying it. Seattle is a great city. My sister lives there, so every time I go there to visit, or go there for business - whatever, it's always sunny (except the one time we got snowed in over New Years. 8" of snow and it took 3 days for them to dig out. They are unprepared for such things, being a sunny climate and all.).

I've gotten sunburned in Seattle more than once. I usually get this, "Geez, this is the first time we've been able to see Mt. Rainier in two years" line. Right. I hear there's a Starbucks on all four corners of some intersections because you need a cup of coffee to keep your hands warm. Not buying it. Chamber of Commerce propaganda.

Where's the fog? Where's the rain?

Not my experience in Seattle, but hey, maybe that’s just me. You’re probably the kind of guy that brings sunshine with you wherever you go. ;)

from wikipedia:

The Seattle area is the most cloudy region of the United States, due in part to frequent storms and lows moving in from the adjacent Pacific Ocean. Despite having a reputation for frequent rain, Seattle receives less precipitation than many other U.S. cities like Chicago or New York City. However, unlike many other U.S. cities, Seattle has many more "rain days", when a very light drizzle falls from the sky for many days.[88] In an average year, at least 0.01 inches (0.25 mm) of precipitation falls on 150 days, more than nearly all U.S. cities east of the Rocky Mountains.[89] It is cloudy 201 days out of the year and partly cloudy 93 days.[71] ​

Oh man, that "it rains every day in Seattle" thing is so over done. Wait, yes it does. You don't want to move there, tell everybody you know.

Interesting. For some reason I thought K. Collier was from California, but I was wrong about that. Drake is closer to home. Looks like they've had a nice run the last 2 years--54-13 overall, 36-0 in conference, first round loss in NCAA Tourney both years.
