USC Gamecocks 2024-25 Season: Part Two

[visitingcock]

Dauda is a little tentative and Watkins being back is going to mess with her playing time. Just the way that's going to work.

I think she would be a valuable player next year and will continue to get opportunities to show progress this year.

Well, the next three games are time for Dauda to grab some playing time.

of CourseI wanna see the following lineup for the Clempsun game of gals who grew up within 100 miles of Tatertown:

Ashlyn F
Joyce W
Sania W
Milaysia SG
Raven PG

Here is some trivia.

What program has the most recent unavenged win versus South Carolina?

Bonus: there are only 7 teams that have unavenged wins versus Dawn Staley. How many can you name?

Hint: one (and only one) of them is on this year's schedule.

You have me racking my brain. I'm trying not to Google but I can't think of any teams. We've revenged the most recent losses to Iowa, UConn, Stanford, Indiana, and NC State. We beat every team in the SEC last season, so it can't be an SEC team. All 7 losses must have occurred prior to the freshies.

I'm stumped. I can't remember the losses prior to the 2019-2020 season. Didn't we lose to Drake? I think that is one.

Very good, Drake is the most recent team who can claim a winning streak vs South Carolina.

The game was 11/24/18.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

We play one of these teams this year and there are two NCAA losses from Dawn's tenure that are our last meeting with the opponent.

So that's three of them.

1 of the remaining teams is a Big 10 team we haven't played in awhile but has the only current 2 game winning streak vs Dawn.

The remaining two teams are mid-majors from opposite coasts that would take quite a memory and long running fandom to recall.

---- I did correctly guess Drake when I set out to look. I think I'd have gotten the more recent NCAA loss with a very outside chance at remembering the other NCAA loss with time.

SC is 0-3 vs Oklahoma lifetime…..

SC is 0-3 vs Oklahoma lifetime…..

Correct, Last played 11/26/09 in Dawn's second season.

 

[Creature]

What's an academic policy issue? Is she failing a class or two?

Why bother making a statement if it's unintelligible.

Usually that means to many absences from study hall or you have a final to take.

She missed a class.

Drake's and Syracuse wins are kinda cool because it falls within out "power decade"beginning with our first final four in 2015 through the present. Hats off to Drake especially."

 

[Creature]

She missed a class.

That seems Draconian to get sidelined for missing one class? Maybe it was an accumulation of misses.

There should be a statute of limitations for validity reasons. Man, the dates for some of these teams go back almost 15 years!

Even if some have a hard time understanding this, Staley has always had a zero miss class policy. Always.

Regarding Chloe…none of us know what policy she violated. She’s been an honor roll student since she got on campus and it’s a one game suspension, sort of like when Saniya Rivers was suspended for one game. Speculation is just that.

 

[GCKSFN4L]

We have had previous 1 game suspensions before for all types of reasons. Chloe remained a positive and support teammate despite the setback and I think that says a lot. I do think in an attempt to be transparent, putting out a tweet listing why she was suspended open more doors for unnecessary speculation that could have been avoided.

 

[visitingcock]

Sure could use a couple of birdies today.

So how do you think they should have handled that? Why she wasn’t playing was going to be asked by somebody. Dawn would have given the exact same answer AFTER the game that they gave before the game. Anyway - it’s over. Time to move on. Hopefully everybody will be available for the remainder of the year.

Syracuse 3/25/16

Certainly one of the worst defeats during Dawn's tenure. Still annoyed about that game.

As for Chloe, as long as her academic suspension is not of the Kaydra Duckett variety, she/we should be alright.

This will be my final comment on the matter since you asked. A simple comment following the game about the suspension and it only being one game would have been sufficient.

A whole graphic just gave it unnecessary attention and led to a lot speculation. So much so that even local media guys like Cloninger with the post had to make a clarifying statement to stop the rumors about the severity of the issue. Again I'm all for transparency, but I think the execution could have been better.

I was at that game and we fell for the fool's gold of the 2/3 zone and took way too many outside shots.

 

[visitingcock]

Surprised a bit that ECU is sold out

Wow, that’s a name I haven’t heard in years. I remember being so excited when she signed on. Was a dang good player in high school. Never materialized at the college level unfortunately.

 

[Cockygirl]

Per Brandon Clay, Kate Harpring will visit this weekend for the football game and basketball game on Sunday.

Hope she gets to experience a winning Saturday night. Campus should be crazy fun if so

 

[JstVisiting]

Coppin State was surprisingly game. Most of these low major teams are either intimidated from the tip or overwhelmed by a big run, but they fought the whole way. Couple of chances for it to get to 50+, and they always made a run to get it back to high 20s/low 30s. The little guard and undersized 5 with 3 point range are going to be a handful against peer programs.

I think Dauda is having issues reprogramming her brain to follow the South Carolina way of doing things. So I hypothesize that it is all a mental thing for her and she will be a great player for us when it all clicks. I've been wondering if her time at Arkansas left her unprepared for normal systems of play. I think she is having to relearn the fundamentals because Neighbor's system doesn't train front court players in the same way as typical systems (post mentality, defense, rebounding, etc.).

Yes she said in one of her lives that she didn’t know half of the things Dawn run in her system. She also hinted at Neighbors not being a good coach.

Whether or not neighbors is a good coach does not need to be discussed but it is a fact that he coached offense first and defense was an afterthought. That is not Dawn’s way

Nevertheless, Dauda was a good shot blocker at Arkansas but there is more to defense than shot blocking But ,?that is a good foundation for Dawn to build on. She also needs to learn offensive positioning in Dawn’s system to maximize offensive rebounding.

I’m not making Neighbors coaching the topic of discussion here. Besides, are there rules that I may have overlooked? My main thing is Dauda is learning a lot being under Dawn. I saw no harm in that or what you’re trying to get at…

 

[packwrap]

Neighbors can't get the same recruits that Dawn gets. He runs a system that works for the players he gets. Those quick dribbling guards often give other teams real problems.

(I do note by the way that Calipari suddenly getting tôp recruits to ARK.)

Just noted the Trojans are playing Santa Clara. We now have USC, U$C and SCU.
