Here are the coaches sec teams. I really think the league is disrespecting Raven.

It seems like a pretty fair list. I don’t think Flau’jae will attempt enough shots to make all SEC. I don’t think Raven was disrespected so much as it is a very deep talent pool and Raven doesn’t have the stats the others do.
Of note, 10 of the 17 came to their present time via the portal, 11 if you include Janiah Barker. Only 6 that are on their original team; Tamari Key, Madison Scott, Hayley Frank, Jessika Carter, Makayla Daniels and Flau’jae Johnson

Kim Mulkey is here at the Camden volleyball game to watch Joyce.😬 It’s actually 4 members of the staff. I guess they are in town for her home visit.

And Milaysia was 4-9 from the arc to lead the team. She seems to want to take those 3's too. We'll be much different than past teams in that we'll have plenty of perimeter options for keeping opposing defenses from collapsing into the paint onto Kamilla and others.

Going back to the 2013-14 season,the last 2 seasons were the worst 3-pt. FG shooting the team has had:

22-23: .310
21-22: .306
20-21: .337
19-20: .349
18-19: .325
17-18: .341
16-17: .333
15-16: .321
14-15: .349
13-14: .347

Hopefully the greater depth of perimeter shooters will see a marked improvement in this area of offense.....
That's a intriguing stat considering how many games we won the last two seasons. It's almost like 3 point point shooting percentage wasn't that important. But, of course, this team is different. Doubt the offensive rebounding and defense would be as good, so the 3pt shooting will have to pick up. Should make for an interesting season.

Also a member of Clemson staff.

That person might as well be watching volleyball on a Russian prison exercise yard.
Surprisingly, Edwards has kept in contact with CU throughout her recruitment. I don’t think they are by any means are a contender but it speaks to how Amanda Butler has upped the recruiting in the upstate.

She signed a 5***** last year and has another committed this cycle. Her pitch to Edwards has consistently been “They already have a statue to Wilson and one coming for Boston. Come to Clemson and there will be a statue of you and it will be the first.”

She has transformed CU from a laughingstock to a middle of the pack ACC team. No mean feat. She will of course need to sign more talent but she has built a foundation after her predecessors couldn’t manage a winning season for 14 seasons

I believe the defense will still be there. We need our Feagin, Watkins and Kitts to be more aggressive offensively and defensively.

Obviously I was enjoying a jocular moment, although I think her essential position in this case is as I've described. I certainly wouldn't denigrate the progress she has made.

Was not being a scold about denigrating the taters, please please continue. Butler though improving the program greatly is still only 27-60 31% in conference games. I know that sounds horrible(and it is) BUT in the previous 14 years they were 37-175 17.5%. They were the worst P5 program in the country over that time frame.

I know she has gotten some 5 star players and big recruits but haven't many that were highly rated transferred out after just one year?

Yes they have. Ruby Whitehorn a soph. this season, had a very successful Fr season and stuck around. IF she sticks around after this season and pairs with Imari Berry they could have a foundation. They are not near being an NCAA team but they are not embarrassing(very low bar up there) and have a competent coach

Yes Gilbert is good. Camden did beat them in a weekend tourney this season. Will be a good match! Joyce has been playing great this season!

Interesting article on projected WNBA Draft order. Cardoso has moved up to a lottery pick. Reese is still at 7, HVL dropped almost out of the first round.

The write ups on Cardoso, Reese, HVL, Rickea Jackson, and Elizabeth Kitley are helpful. They illustrate weaknesses and strengths into each player. They also point out DS’s thought process on who she recruits; Length/Height, athleticism, quickness, the ability to defend your position even multiple positions. As the saying goes in the WNBA “You are who you can defend” We have seven players on the team that can defend multiple positions.

Lots of people who are in the WBB profession are sending us signals subtle and overt that they have questions about the makeup of the LSU roster.

I can't see what you posted.
tweet apparently was deleted. It was a post by 94feet predicting landing spots for some of the top prospects. Here were the predictions:
#1 Sarah Strong-UCONN

#2 Joyce Edwards-SC

#3 Jaloni Cambridge-Ohio St

#6 Kennedy Smith-SC or UCLA

#10 Mikayla Blakes-Tenn

#21 Mackenly Randolph-ND

LSU’s exhibition highlights . Opponent could easily be substituted for many of their non/con games. obviously talented but hard to gauge due to the total inferiority of other team. I will say, even though she was highly ranked and we recruited hard, kinda glad ADR did not commit to us. big time project that needs major conditioning work .

Playing a D3 school it's hard to get any good grasp of this game. They dominated the boards and got to the line a lot against a much smaller team. I question their spacing and how they'll hand other top 10 teams. I do think both Flau'jae and Mikayla Williams looked pretty good but definitely got to see them against players their own size though.
