Stakeholders want her to light it up the way she did at Iowa. She ain't necessarily supposed to be unopposed at this level.

I don't think she is the one whining, (or any more than usual), it is those who want her to get the special treatment like she did in college.
Oh she's whining. Her Dad has said in the past that "she wasn't raised that way". Well apparently, she was or at least allowed to get away with being a brat. I'm sure there will be mounting pressure to back off like everyone else has in her past.
First, it was Coach Sides' fault, then it was her teammates fault, now it's the referees. Just play, be humble, and learn how to win.
Oliviyah Edwards from Tacoma WA naming us in the top 10, I bet in the end, it will come down to us, Washington, USC-w, and UT. Just a hunch. I love the Washington Campus but there basketball program is mediocre at best. So I'll go out on a limb and say, Gamecocks-Trojans battle.
Agree or disagree?
Total horse crap. The W has always been physical. All the the top players get hit. When competitors hear the media spend 2 years with the most over the top hype on any player in any sport in years, they say "hold my drink". Players can see. They know Clark is vastly overhyped. The media is now trying to create another false narrative about racism. There have been great White players in the W forever. The second-best player in the league is white. Stewie never had any issues due to race. Taurasi, Sue Bird and too many to name. But for some reason players are supposed to pamper Caitlin and let her have uncontested shots and layups. Competitors dont roll like that. Caitlin is a great talent. She will mature and adjust. She won't get away with the elbows, shoves and trash talk she got away with in college. In college the officials coddled her to an embarrassing degree. It was WWE hoops on occasions. Players in the W aren't having it.
Please create a separate thread for the WNBA.
I have watched every game and disagree. There was the dust-up with Chennedy Carter, but everyone that knows anything about Women's Basketball knows that Carter is crazy. Carter is a very talented player, drafted #4 overall in the 2020 draft. However, she is on her third team and was out of the WNBA last year because of threatening and fighting teammates. Carter can be Dennis Rodman crazy at times. The problem in the skirmish over the weekend was the referees only calling an "Off the Ball" foul on Carter and continuing to play. It should have been immediately upgraded to a flagrant 1 during the game and I wouldn't have had a problem if it was upgraded to a flagrant 2 with Carter being ejected. The only other brief skirmish was between Clark and Victoria Vivians. Clark hit a three and let Vivians know about it. Clark kind of got into Vivians personal space and Vivians gave her a forearm. Both parties got technicals and the game carried on. Otherwise, it's just been basketball. Has Clark been hit going to the rim. Yeah. However, what is the other team supposed to do. Let her score? She has gone to the rim and I think Clark has the 3rd most amount of free throws as a guard in the league. I think a lot of this narrative of physical play is coming from new fans of the sport who want this to be some sort of repeat of her Iowa performance. Clark has been good, but she is a rookie and she has had only one 30 point game. She had 3 points in her last game and the Liberty didn't play her in any special way. Clark just missed shots and was 1-10 from the field.Agree or disagree?

Our guy, TN-Gamecock created one, but most people aren't participating in anything involving him right now.
You evidentially don't follow other threads on this forum or on the Insiders...
2024 women's college basketball recruiting class rankings - ESPN
Will be interesting to see if they do this along with adding transfers. If they do, we might take over the #2 spot. Southern Cal just recruited the heck out of the TOP 20 players.

I can’t move existing posts to a new thread.
Here’s a new thread if anyone wants to use it.

I hope Kamilla does well. Reese and Carter, I'll pass on watching. Most American's have no desire to watch those 2 play. Not good if you have young children watching either as both lack sportsmanship and knowledge of the English language.

Edwards, the No. 3 recruit in the Class of 2024, was cut from Team USA's U-16 and U-17 teams. Now she's one of the best players.

Both of these teams are extremely young and will take their lumps for the next couple of years. Doesn't mean they are bad teams or bad players. Just means there are much more experienced opponents at this time. Sometimes people forget that they are playing against the Top 100 or so players in the Women's game over the last decade. ....and in the case of Dianna Taurausi, over the last two decades. These veterans are great players too and have pride. They are not just going to let these rookies come in and take over without a fight.

Very good perspective. As we've discussed, I just hate the prospect of Aliyah's career being sacrificed on the altar of Caitlin's. I want her to become the player she's capable of being - A'ja caliber.
Call us whatever you want, but you can't call us pikers and you can't call us scared.

The Official WNBA Discussion Thread - On3
Okay folks I keep reading that we here want discussion about the professional WNBA, and NCAA Women's College Basketball kept separated. This was tried before, but I will once again try to start a new thread for WNBA discussion. Here goes: Just to open the thread up with Gamecock-related...
The people who made it go, but who were not often in accord with the originator, started over on the premium board, to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks, I figured as much. Really a shame to let this thread die, from a historical perspective if nothing else. Especially over some nonsense, but that's just my opinion.
I'm not on the Insider Forum, but looking over there, I see where the new thread has a robust following - between 600 and 700 posts so far.
