Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5218041, member: 2117"] I hope she returns--she needs another year in college, I can't see her sticking with a team this summer based on her play this season. Her regression this year is puzzling. A year ago she looked like a can't miss 1st round draft pick after she put the clamps on Caitlin Clark in the title game and drastically improved offensively. This season she can't find the basket and is maybe be a 2nd rounder if she were to go pro now. I almost wonder if she's struggled with the pressure of potentially losing playing time to Tessa/Fulwiley off the bench. Next year I think she'll have more minutes with Pao Pao/Hall gone and might revert back to last year's form. I think SC needs her to step up in big games to win it all. Not to dump on South Carolina (who is still arguably the title favorite), but they went from shooting nearly 40% from 3 a year ago to just 32.8% despite having the exact same arsenal of shooters. I'm not sure if it's the effect of Cardoso/Watkins being out, but the 3 ball just isn't the same weapon it was a year ago for the Gamecocks. [/QUOTE]
