kinda shocked by this one: oliviyah edwards to south carolina.

South Carolina must have the biggest payroll in the country . They may wanna divert some of that money to other programs which all basically suck

LSU alum-

Your post is duly noted, and I don't dispute the facts or comparisons you've made. I appreciate your research! My point was SPECIFICALLY about who makes the big shots AT THE END of games when they're on the line- who has that "clutch gene" under immense pressure with the game on the line and heavy on your shoulders in the final minute and seconds that Michael Jordan personified and perfected- who handles the greatest pressure the best- and I'll continue to have that opinion about MK.

But I really appreciate Flaujae's contributions- she stepped up often in big games, but not as much as I'd hoped for given a player of her magnitude AT THE VERY END OF BIG GAMES, which often determines championships. You could tell by Flaujae's disappointed expressions in those instances that she often felt the same way. You need the clutch scorer in those moments, and I'll take MK all day every day in those situations, even though (as you've pointed out) Flaujae often outplayed her for most of the game.

Carry on! We're both rooting for the same players and appreciate them!


Exactly! I think we both want the same things. I don't dispute that Mikaylah makes big shots. But her shortcomings for me are the fact that she doesn't show up in big games at times, in order for her to even get the CHANCE to make those clutch shots. But in the end, as you said, we want the same thing. I'm REALLY hoping that Mikaylah is more assertive next season. When she came out of HS she and Juju Watkins were rated even in the rankings..........some had Watkins #1 and some had Mikaylah #1. But the difference I saw, even in the freshman season, was that Juju was way more assertive than Mikaylah.......................and Mikaylah was a better shooter from the field AND the three, but she didn't have that "Jordan gene" if you will, that Watkins has. I'm really hoping this changes next season because we're gonna need it...............

They can't be spending money on much else. Although I think they've basically punted on football now.

no. thats not it. dawn is not giving players a windfall. that's why you didnt see liv mcgill or audi or kyomi miller on their list of targets. if your first priority is money, then that's not the program for you. geno is most definitely the same way. i wanna say that i saw an article about how all the players get the same amount of money (from the school donor bucket of the nil), and whatever additional monies the players make, its from their own personal nil deals and endorsements with local (or national) companies.

I wonder if they are still in contact with Diakhate from Pitt? She would be a nice addition.

Another name that I haven’t heard mentioned and is still out there is Essence Cody f om Bama , she’d be another nice addition.

I think we have , just not announced yet.
We need one more big.

CJ from tigerbait is hinting at another commitment beside Morrow , but doesn’t know when it will be announced.

for anyone wanting to watch more of noa morro: she plays in LF Endesa which is the highest women's basketball league in spain. she plays for club ARASKI.

if you go to youtube and search "KUTXABANK ARASKI vs" a lot of the games (full games, not highlights) she played in this past season are there for the viewing.
