USC Gamecocks 2024-25 Season: Part Two

[cancontent]

I understand the sentiment but Texas's two losses are not as bad as Notre Dame's. Texas has losses to the current #2 and #4 teams. South Carolina has losses to the current #1 and #3 teams. Notre Dame has losses to #11 and an unranked team.

I understand the rankings because most polls come from a perspective of "what have you done for me lately", so I get it. I just disagree.

An overtime win - at home? That doesn't count as much for Notre Dame as their losss to Utah,

Record even.
Texas losses to two top 5s SCar and ND
ND losses to top ten TCU and thirty-ish Utah,

I’m not saying it’s right just saying it’s understandable

Thanks for the perspective. Helps me to better understand where you're coming from.

I think SC has gotten just about as much out of Feagin as you could ask since Watkins went down, but the team just doesn’t have a good matchup for a Betts or Oldacre-type post.

SC matches up well with ND, UConn, and LSU.

Doesn’t match up very well with UCLA or Texas.

I’m somewhat in the middle on USC.

It’s going to be all about the draw and the path come tournament time.

We have been missing out on recruiting bigs lately

2022- 6ft5 6 /10 wing span Kyla Oldacare ( recruited but no offer) Kid dominated us yesterday

2023- Aliyah Del Rosario 6ft6 200+lbs

2024-Katie Koval 6ft5 200+ pounds and to some extent Blanca Thomas from Charlotte. 6ft5 who is at UNC

2025- nobody targeted

2026-seems Olivia Vukosa is the primary target -6ft5 200lbs

Tbh this staff has whiffed on big size post since Boston in 2019 and Cardosa 2020

So to compensate for those we missed on-you signed 6ft6 Sakima Walker, offer and sign Adhel Tac after Koval goes to Notre Dame and sign Dauda out of the portal when somebody like Grace Van Slooten from Oregon was available in the portal.

I thought we should have offered Gracie Merkle from Bellermine in the portal. She’s not as quick as Dawn would like, but 6’6 and strong is worth occasionally slowing down for. Putting up 15/8.5 for a bad Penn State; she surely would have had some matchup specific use for us.

I don't believe Tac was a fall back at all.
