2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
It's a good fit for her and academically as well. The timing of leaving really seemed like she was following her coach.
Spectrum in Greenville somehow thinks that I want the Pac12 network. WHY?
Well, I like having the option. As a sports fan in general, I might want to see a late night game if I can't sleep..lol
She’s looks damn good in the g & b. Her and/or her UO teammate Endyia Rogers have been at the top of my list as backcourt gets out of the portal since each entered their names in it. Te-Hina being from CA is the one big damper in getting her. Her and Raven as a starting backcourt next season would be
! 
I believe that's her uncle and apparently he has another niece at Clemson on their softball team. Hopefully she's Paopao cousin and that may help convince her family to let her stay across the country.

Well, its down to us, So. Cal and LSU for Morrow.

South Carolina women's basketball in top 3 for elite transfer portal target Aneesah Morrow
Star DePaul forward Aneesah Morrow has included South Carolina women's basketball as one of her top 3 transfer destinations alongside LSU and USC.
www.yahoo.com
I have a feeling Aneesah has not visited us yet and maybe not the other USC either. I feel like reports would come out of her being spotted. It has been reported that she will be in LSU this weekend.
She plays it close to the vest on social media as I have not seen any new follows or followers from these 3 teams. Raven and Coop are her only followers from our team. Raven did comment
on her top 3 post.
PS I really need another hobby

You're doing the heavy hitting reporting we need. I'm surprised that she has Southern Cal in her top 3. Looks like staying relatively close to home didn't matter.I have a feeling Aneesah has not visited us yet and maybe not the other USC either. I feel like reports would come out of her being spotted.

I really thought either a Maryland or Notre Dame would be on her list.
don't see Southern Cal at all. Either us or LSU
She may be intrigued by playing along side JuJu but yeah I doubt it will be them. I feel like she has had her sights set on the SEC. Her style of play fits SEC best in my opinion.
I feel the same way but you never know, I'm sure the LA market will have plenty of NIL possibilities and she gets the opportunity to play with Juju Watkins as they turn that program around.
As for LSU I'm unsure how her and Angel's on court chemistry will work. In some ways they are similar in how they play and how aggressive they are on the boards. This could either work really well or not so well.
so much for that 'report' from earlier this week that Morrow was a lock to Iowa - never believed it anywayWell, its down to us, So. Cal and LSU for Morrow.

hoping for AM and Paopao and calling it an off-season. Sakima Walker (probably Mississippi bound) would be icing on the cake.
exactly.
if AM wants to maximize her exposure for NIL, championships, and future WNBA aspirations, it'll either be here or Baton Rouge
It's hard to see Morrow and Reese together since they play the same position. Sure, Reese could play the 5 but she would have to guard players like Cardoso and Aliyah Edwards. Having LaDazhia guard 5's last year allowed Reese to stay out of foul trouble. Of course, I don't think we are the best fit basketball-wise either. However, Morrow probably doesn't know much about Feagin or Watkins besides they didn't play a lot last season.
I wouldn't rule out SoCal since they make the most sense in terms of a fit for her. But her decision might be about more than finding the perfect situation for her in basketball terms. Iowa fans got excited because Morrow would have been awesome on that team. More went into her decision, obviously.
So basically I have no idea which school she is going to choose.

I think that was one of the reasons, if not the reason, she left Maryland. Did not want to play the 5.
Kind of the way I see it too. Was surprised UConn and Iowa was not included. Many thought she would end at one of those schools. Aneesah and Kamilla would make a lethal pair in the paint.
I see Morrow more as a 3/4 on this roster. She'll have to transition to the 3 if she wants to go pro. Dawn would give her that opportunity to expand her game in that way.
I don't see Mulkey doing that at all. Especially considering that Reese has less range and post move this past season than she ever did at Maryland.

They stole my idea. But I think this is probably a shared sentiment for those thinking bigger picture. Her and Kitts as 3/4 hybrids could be really fun.
In the Glad I Don’t Have His Job and why does everybody want to schedule us next season category.
Pitt was a bad 10-20 team last year even with an LSU like OOC. 3-15 in the ACC, they fired their Coach, Lance White and hired UMASS Coach Tory Vetri.
Vetri did a good job there but good luck buddy.
Nine players entered the portal, leaving them with only 4 players on the roster. They have a 3 player incoming recruiting class

Get to see snow, midwestern folks are some of the nicest people in America, not as crime ridden as other places, higher wages with lower cost of living
What's not to like?
She finally posted it so maybe there's a chance.
I didn't know that, but it makes sense. I remember we were in Reese's final schools when she was in high school. And when she transferred there was some talk she might come here. Even the taunting of Caitlin Clark seems to be, in part, due to her perceived slights against us in our game against Iowa. I think she would have liked to have played alongside Boston, if our roster wasn't so crowded.
Just looked through the old site to see if I could find any talk about Reese transferring here and I found this:
Don't even get me started on VS. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Especially the "Gamecock Nation wasssup???" part makes me hopeful. She can't throw that out there and then go to Ole Miss, can she?
She would be playing a decent amount of midwestern road games in the Big 10 conference her senior season so that might help in a decision to play on the west coast.

Do we know where else Paopao is visiting?She’s looks damn good in the g & b.

The day she announced her transfer an assistant at Oregon tweeted this:
If that was our staff, I'm OK with it. lol
Until she commits, though, I'm going to wonder if it was another staff.
I have to think SoCal is in the picture since she is from Oceanside. Plus SoCal is rumored to be throwing around the NIL money (perhaps explaining the Morrow interest).
Watching a couple of Oregon games, I think we're a great fit for her game. Rogers is very talented, but she definitely looked to get her own shot. I felt like Paopao was overlooked at times. That won't be a problem in a backcourt with Raven. She is definitely more of a distributor than a PG who looks to score.
Someone who seems to know a lot about LSU wbb on The Boneyard is saying that HVL told LSU no.
I think he was joking. Everything points to her going to LSU.
I are probably right just wondering if she is going to take any other visits?
Haven't heard of any visits besides LSU. Sounds like she had her mind made up prior to entering the portal. Most elite players probably have a pretty good idea but take a few visits anyway. We'll see if she gets out of Baton Rouge still uncommitted.
That Boneyard account by a LSU fan has chosen to take a sarcastic/mocking tone and at times it’s humorous if you understand what they’re doing, but oftentimes their posts end up confusing, which is too bad because they do seem to be a knowledgeable WBB fan. When I saw that they put out that HVL post, I took it with a grain of salt and waited for someone else to confirm it before I could believe their post to be true.
I think it's clear that Morrow is considering Carolina and LSU because she wants to play the 3. And I don't think it's about offense as much as it is about the other end of the court. As you can see here, it's a lot to ask her to defend 4's against elite competition.
Of course, in the WNBA, everyone is elite, so to prepare for the next level Morrow needs playing time at the 3. We don't have an established player at that position. So if she wants playing time on a national championship contender who consistently puts its players in the WNBA, then Carolina is a good fit.
I'm a little concerned that LSU offers similar promise, plus Mulkey is willing to play her best players 35 minutes a game. Hopefully, the results of the draft will convince Morrow that limited playing time will not harm her WNBA chances and may even pro long her basketball career.

She often played the 4 and the 5 at DePaul(as noted by a previous post) and her team was often outmatched from a talent level this past season. The first UConn meetup was tough for everybody on DePaul but 2nd time they played Morrow very much held her own.I think it's clear that Morrow is considering Carolina and LSU because she wants to play the 3.

Last season on a more balanced team she had even better numbers against more elite posts, one could only imagine what she could do against elite competition when she's on a competitive team as well.
As for Mulkey I'm not as confident that she'll play her at the 3. It was rumored that Angel left Maryland in part because she was tired of playing in the post and wanting to expand her game. This past season it looked like she regressed in that, her midrange was basically non-existent and she practically lived in the paint. I just don't see Mulkey developing Morrow in a new role just like she hasn't for Angel so far. Also with Mikaylah Williams coming in I just don't see her playing that position much if ever if she chooses LSU.
Either Paopao, Walker or Day-Wilson. Hoping Paopao
