We have a guard last name is zipper but he hardly sees playing time. Your 2-13 play everyone.


She looks slightly taller than 5-7 Jada Richard. 5-8/5-9 ish.

GG is so fast, quick, has incredible handles and Fulwiley-ish passing. She can finish at the rim. I haven’t seen any 3 point shooting tho.

Kevin Garnett begs to differ (1:53 mark):

The Donna Summer song she is dancing to has some of the weirdest lyrics. I first heard the actor Richard Harris sing it, of all people, and it never made sense to me:

MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!


Does PETA not know the human animal are mammals as well?

I don't see them protesting when a black bear eats a fawn, or a lion eats a zebra, or a tiger eats a wild boar, or a polar bear a seal ...all of which have also opportunistically eaten a stupid human or two.
Ironically, the coaching buzz is that Coach Yo will be the top HC candidate this offseason for some big time, but underachieving WBB programs. She's gonna be another one to bolt from that stepping stone school.

Gotta love it.

Kim said Ole Miss was getting "too many drives on my two freshmen" and too many "second chance shots" which made her go with her two bigs.

I love the versatility of this roster. This year, they've won with small ball, big lineups, mixed lineups, and even wholesale experienced-to-inexperienced rotations. Some nights the stars shine, some nights the backups are key, some nights it's a brand new mix of the two.

Outside of 4 close losses, there's too much talent for somebody not to step up to the plate, whether it's on offense or defense. Kim has found the right combo for 23 of the 27 games, and 9 of 11 road games, including this one.
Dunking-wise, Swift was like a cross between Vince Carter in a Shawn Kemp lanky body.
Beth Mowins, sounds like Reba McEntire doing a Bob Uecker impersonation.

Ole Miss just defeated Tennessee tonight

The Vols are such frauds. On-paper, they have a lot of talent, enough that it convinced a lot of pre-season talking heads TN would be a Top 5-Top 10 team, with some talking a rise from the ashes of their former glory. Nope from the get-go. Janiyah Barker almost exemplifies the whole program. She looks the part of a Top 10 WNBA prospect, but only ever flashes potential and disappears when you need someone to take over in the clutch.

What ever happened to Jordy? Dude parted ways from the BR radio show (iirc, over a money issue), but he still had his low-budget ensemble podcast on you tube called the Jordy Culotta Show. I don't think I've seen him on his own JCS in over a year, the few times it's popped up on my feed. They have other dudes helming it. (???)

re: WBB Recruits at South Carolina game

It's such a crapshoot. Two years ago, LSU came in 2nd for about 15-20 bluechips and only signed one Top 100 player (#96 Jada Richard). The next year, they signed the #1 class, three of whom shined in limited minutes as freshmen on national tv Saturday night.

Here's a few factors recruits may consider that we might not know the answer to until they sign somewhere:

$$$$
Playing time
Playing style/scheme
Geographical location (in-state/OOS, family attendance capability or not)
Bond with coach or coaches or teammates (surrogate family/personality fit)
Prefers discipline/structure or prefers autonomy/constructive guidance
Coach or University pedigree/legacy
WNBA development
Fan support
Facilities
Degree/major availability


LSU partly lost the game bc they shot only 16.7% (2/12) from 3. Bella had a hand in that, along with the rest.

Missing 40% of their FT's really did them in. They are one of the best FT shooting teams and somehow missed 9 free points tonight.
They out rebounded SC 39 to 33.

Height was not the problem. They had enough touches. Only 16.7% from 3 and mising 40% of their FT's sealed their fate.

In that type of offense, the only ways to really judge his hands, high point ability and strength at the point of catch are in 7 v 7 or camp situations

Ahh, yes. I can see now how a gem on a sad team can slip through the cracks if he also can't afford to attend a camp/7v7.
quote]The catch he made last year against Karr was one of the most impressive catches I’ve ever seen from a high school receiver[/quote]

This must be it at the 29:13 mark. It’s incredible:



Side note: I don’t see how scouts do it. Royal does not stand out until that catch late in the game.

Brother Martin’s offense is unbearable to watch. They seemingly only threw maybe 15 times this whole game. They have the worst QB and ground game and yet only threw towards their HS all-American Royal twice in the first half (one overthrow/one drop). At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, Royal does catch a wide open TD but it was on a busted play. Sure, he makes that incredible TD catch in the 4th quarter , but if I’m a scout watching Royal for the first time, how do I judge that it wasn’t just a fluke catch? He only caught two passes, albeit both for TDs, but one was a busted coverage, the other could be viewed as lucky.

Highlight reels/compilation catches have to be mandatory for any scout and yet highlight reels don’t tell the whole story as a player has to be seen in person, not only for size, but for in-between non-highlight plays. And with thousands of prospects, finding/discovering an All-American buried in a sad offense seems like an impossible job for a scout.
