Which player is your biggest "mystery" going into new season?

If there is a 2019 recruit out there named Agatha Christie, I truly think she will be the greatest mystery.

I think Kiah can (and might) play 38-39 minutes a game (just like Stef). She also WILL be the best center in wcbb next year. Rebounding and shot-blocking like a young Bill Russell. The offense will come too.

I think Kiah will be in the 25-28 minutes range. I think her aggressiveness makes her a little prone to foul trouble and she may have to spend a little time on the bench here an there. I am a big believer in Stokes but Coates is a better player and will be the best center in the country next year.

Create what?

On edit: Never mind. Got it.

Thanks JR, but you may be the only one who did. I chose an onomatopoeic
reference, buried in a Chinese character, since the title of the subject required
a "mystery" answer.

winlots- - - I saw several tapes of Chong in HS and she was VERY aggressive! But as Geno said in college you go through so many ups + downs confidence is a big thing! But I really feel she'll work that out over the off season and come back with a fire relit!

There's a world of difference between the type athletes you face in high school and in college. In high school I'm sure she was quicker and more athletic than 95% of the kids she competed against but in college, that percentage drops drastically and in fact, there are numerous kids who are quicker and more athletic so the tables have turned. When that realization comes through, you've got to fight through it and up your game. It is totally a mental thing and it seems she's struggled with it. Time will tell whether she can get over the hump because with talented freshmen coming in, she's got to be up to the challenge. That was one of the amazing things about Maria Conlon. She was competing against kids who were far more athletic and yet, through her smarts and her will, she made herself into an important and essential part of some national championship teams. The jury is out on whether Chong can make that mental jump and be a key contributor moving forward.

Buzzyboy- - you're right no one saw the Maria Conlon potential her freshman year! Her HEART, losing weight, and knowing her own skill level and accenting the positive took her to major roles in 3 Championships!
But I still feel Chong will regroup over this off-season and come back in Oct. with a refreshed game!

RSHER et al. Night before last we watched a couple our tapes; I think it was the 11-11-13 game vs. no less than Stanford in which CHONG looked very impressive and aggressive.....popped in a couple of threes, converted a couple of nice drives, couple nifty passes, totaled about 15 points or so .....generally looked rather comfortable and at home. ( Of course, that was during her generally impressive arrival on the scene; it was after that that things seemed to change for her. )
