Agree. We have a complete team honestly. Watkins and Feagin are lethal shot blockers and play taller than they areI say it's time to roll with Feagin. 6-3 to 6-4. Has paid her dues. Has Two National Championships. Major contributor this year. Played well in the games Cardoso was unable to play. It's her turn IMO.
What if foul trouble becomes an issue? If Tac is able to play next year, OK but if Dawn is bringing her along slowly, I say go after a 6'5" post if one is available. We have been spoiled over the years with good POST players.Agree. We have a complete team honestly. Watkins and Feagin are lethal shot blockers and play taller than they are
If we got those two...game over....Natty for the next few years. Some on here have said Beers would not be a fit. I disagree. She's wide bodied, tall & can shoot.Gardiner and Beers (once she’s in the portal) from Oregon State. We’re all familiar with the recent game and with those two we would have two solids teams to rotate five in/out.
and whose minutes are they going to take? We're returning everyone from an undefeated season minus Cardoso. Adhel Tac(6'5-6'6), Joyce Edwads and Maddy McDaniel have been added. You're not going to get highly conveted players from the portal who are not expecting a starting role and major minutes.Gardiner and Beers (once she’s in the portal) from Oregon State.

Watkins?The team needs someone who can JUMP. This may not necessarily be a "tall girl." Cardoso could not jump and we were lucky not to encounter anyone who could take advantage of that.
I think the 6’5” center from ND declared for the portal. Don’t temper the name:What if foul trouble becomes an issue?

Beers was a 3rd team all American at the post position. She could start in Cordoso's place and everything else remain the same.and whose minutes are they going to take?

I love Watkins but she does turn the ball over a bit (seems to play sloppy at times)Watkins?
"Some on here" That's me, bo. She's not a fit. You have to be able to hedge screens on the perimeter here and she can't do that.If we got those two...game over....Natty for the next few years. Some on here have said Beers would not be a fit. I disagree. She's wide bodied, tall & can shoot.
Add Coates b4 Wilson.Height has really, really served us well over the last 6-10yrs. Aja Wilson to Boston/Cardoso to Cardoso. I’d love it if Dawn snagged another from the portal. It’s just an added dimension that completes our dominant lineup.
I should have said “the team needs a 6’7” center who can jump.”
and she would slow down our offense. She'll be a great pickup for someone just not us"Some on here" That's me, bo. She's not a fit. You have to be able to hedge screens on the perimeter here and she can't do that.
Definitely. She'll be a beast under the basket for someone.and she would slow down our offense. She'll be a great pickup for someone just not us
Wonderful half court player, BUT doesn’t run the floor and at present would be unable to play our style of D. She would have to sign her life over to Molly for 6 months at least.Definitely. She'll be a beast under the basket for someone.
Beers is too slow and cannot get up and down the floor. Not a fit for USC. I would say the kid from Texas A&M who I think is 6-4? Or maybe even the kid from NC whose sister played at Tennessee. Of course, even though she plays the 4 position, the Irifian (sp?) girl from Stanford would be nice.Beers was a 3rd team all American at the post position. She could start in Cordoso's place and everything else remain the same.
Coates was awesome. HOWEVER, when she was injured in 2017, we replaced her with BCM in the lineup and won a national championship. Dawn was forced to go small. It's possible to be too big, especially in today's game as more and more teams shoot the 3. We must be able to defend the perimeter.Add Coates b4 Wilson.
Yes - I was just adding her to our list of impressive post recruits.Coates was awesome. HOWEVER, when she was injured in 2017, we replaced her with BCM in the lineup and won a national championship.

Of course, we could use an infinite number of bigs to sit on the bench in reserve in case of foul trouble or injury. Realistically, some of the names being thrown around are not going to be happy in a backup role. We may add a big, but I would expect it to be a player who would be OK with limited minutes.
