I really like Morrow. There is more to her game than we see now at LSU. Coach Bruno at Depaul had her play guard as a soph, and had her launch 250 threes! That was an effort to expand her game for the W.

She only made 25%, but what was important was she knew what she needed to work on, and has been at it now already for 3 years. Even though at LSU she is all about rebounds and put backs, she quietly keeps working on other parts of her game.

She's willing to be a 3 in the W and work to improve, but she still will probably be best as a small 4. Agree Mystics not best fit, but imagine her in the Kia Stokes role next to Wilson in Vegas.
People had similar concerns about Angel Reese in the pros and she was phenomenal as a rookie. Morrow’s motor is unmatched and her ability to rebound is elite. She’ll develop a jumper with more time but those two traits make her unique and I think she’ll thrive in the pros.

Agree. Jumper is already there, and used often in the 10-15 ft range. She even still shoots an occasional three, 7 for 28 on the season. (for reference KK Arnold 7-32).

Quite importantly, Morrow's jumper is a smooth repeatable motion, athletic with proper high release and a true jump shot! (actually leaving her feet :confused:)

While Reese is a great comp for Morrow, the difference is that Reese is an even better rebounder, but Morrow has a smoother offensive game both at basket and outside.

Well this looks like fun. Nice to see someone like Kevin Hart invest in supporting the WNBA. Especially after the NBA all-star game and the teasing from Rickea Jackson, Aaliyah Edwards and others. :)

The trend of WNBA games at the alma mater of players continues. ND Fans should enjoy this one. :D

Not just Domers but any fans who enjoy watching the alums of Guard U, including this one. =)

A couple of signings in the last few days that may have flown under the radar due to end-of-regular season madness:

  • Christyn Williams signed a Training Camp Contract with the Minnesota Lynx.. (Can a third Husky be on the Lynx?)
  • McKenzie Forbes signed a Training Camp Contract with the Dallas Wings
  • Morgan Bertsch signed a Training Camp Contract with the Chicago Sky. (her second stint with the Sky. She was actually sharing the power forward slot with Alanna Smith until she got injured.)

Sorry, I missed the Christyn Williams post earlier. Heck, I didn't even recognize her! Shame on me. :eek::rolleyes:

I hate to see Cecilia leave Minnesota. She is one of my favorite players. Ashley Joens, a great talent. I hope that she makes the roster for the Dream.
