finally got one right......
I feel Tessa would be perfect to take over for Brea/Bree at the 3 spot.
But then who of Milaysia/Raven/Latson sits?
Because South Carolina isn't allowed to improve, silly!
It’s more that the players potentially coming off the bench would be upperclassman with potential to be top 5-10 WNBA draft picks in the next 2 years.
Latson would be considered a major upgrade over what we saw from Lay in the NC game.
Didn’t realize we’re only at 12.
A true post like Cardosa, Boston?
She played in HS/AAU with many of the current Gamecocks, who openly recruited her to transfer to SC, so I don't see anyone transferring.
I've seen rumors swirling that Maddy was homesick and Tessa will leave because of the Latson acquisition. Maddy's mom has confirmed that she isn't going anywhere and the Tessa rumors are 100% fan driven with zero shred of proof. There is another rumor that MiLaysia's mom wants her to transfer. I don't know the validity of that statement and it seems like another fan-driven rumor. All I know is that MiLaysia made comments stating that she was recruiting Latson, so it seems odd to me that she would leave.
I think only Sakima Walker is leaving, which isn't a surprise at all. Word is that Maddy's mom said she's staying and I think Tessa is the starting 3 next season. Latson is a 2, through and through. I don't pay nearly as much attention to recruiting as I did, years ago, because as a 61 YO, I shouldn't be spending my time worrying about where high school and college students are going.
If they were going to enter the transfer portal, it would have had to be done by 5pm today. If they transfer after that, the old transfer rules apply.
That’s for the draft. Portal window closes on the 22nd.
Portal doesn’t close until a couple more weeks
I'll offer my perspective on Serah Williams. Having followed the Big Ten closely for a handful of seasons, I had a few opportunities to see Serah play (it's hard--Wisconsin is hardly ever on TV). With the exception of one time, she gave me "best player on a bad team" vibes and not much more than that. She's talented, and that clearly shows up whenever she plays. Instincts are great--especially defensively. Production is top notch. However, her play doesn't really "wow" you in a way that it should--given her numbers and her physical advantages over the typical non-Lauren Betts B1G post. She's probably good enough to be a starter on a Top 25 or even a Top 10 team. I just don't see "dominant big" or "paint anchor" with her. "Nice rotation piece" is what I'd call her. She'd be great to have, but I don't think she moves the needle for this team. Maryam could, with another year in the system, possibly cover what Serah would bring to the team (versatility, shot blocking). That's JMO--hardly the gospel.Didn’t realize we’re only at 12.
A post like Serah Williams would be the only need as far as I see. I don’t know how good she is but her numbers are really nice. Of course a lot could be taken care of if Ashlynn is ready to come back sometime in the season, Dauda builds upon her improvement the last few weeks and provides effective play, and maybe most importantly, that Tac starts realizing her potential and at least provides 12-15 minutes off the bench.
Very curious to see who Kylee Kitts has lined up to transfer to. She going to join her sis?
On a greedy note, I’d love to see Dawn snatch up Kneepkins. One can always use a 44% three pt shooter.
That would be great. Silva was my first choice big, but she’s more of a down the road. Okot was second and should almost definitely be the better player next year.
Like some on the UConn board, you are underestimating the loss of Paige. She draws a ton of attention from the defense and which inevitably helped Sarah’s game and also Azzis. Paige with her intangibles and leadership also gave the team a less pressure in pressure moments. It will be hard to replace. Yes having Sarah and Azzi is a great combo, but what made it work so well this year was the options the three together created. I’m not sure we will be close to that next year.
Any news on whether Kylee Kitts is going to SC? And how does that change our roster. I believe she would be a redshirt freshman?Didn’t realize we’re only at 12.
