I’d look for Miami transfer Lashae Dwyer to visit this weekend too.

No Thank you

I always liked Spencer's game. 2022 SEC Freshman of the Year. Another super quick athletic guard to fit Kim's system.

I obviously watched zero Arkansas games. Anybody watch them play? How can a FG% be that low. That is some uber inefficiency. Shooting in general more the problem or shot selection?

arkansas offense does not help a shooters percentage at all. it’s horrible. spencer would be a GREAT asset off the bench. double digit scorer on any night.

She had a lot of drama with Taliah Scott, but her numbers against SEC teams were impressive.

Reallyyyyy?? What happened? Im from Arkansas and I’m literally the only one out my friend group that’s an odd ball when it comes to women’s basketball. Lol whenever Tennessee used to play in Fayetteville, I’d be sitting with them in my orange lol.

Enough story time, they never mentioned anything between those 2. I didn’t know! now I have to go be nosey!

 

[volforlife10]

hoping this doesn’t mean whitehorn didn’t commit. ik we will probably take two guards but the miami guard would be last resorts.

Apparently there was something on an Arkansas podcast in which Samara was salty about McDonalds All Americans, which many interpreted as directed at Taliah, and then just a few days ago was commenting on Taliah’s TikTok mocking her commitment to Auburn.

Whitehorn is more of a wing/sf the way she plays… these are more pg types

 

[Brawlvol]

I'm thru with my coffee, hmm

 

[spojo13]

Wondering if this is an either/or situation with them both being PGs? If we were to get both of them and Whitehorn/Kapinus, then we are at 15. Maybe they don’t plan on adding another forward/post?

I wondered that too…I’d really like to add another post just for depth

agreed. we have enough guard depth if we add whitehorn, spencer/miami guard, and kapinus. would be good to use that last scholarship on another post.

She played mostlyfour guards and one post most of the time. Most teams usually have to match up or get beat a lot downcourt and off the dribble.

Me too. I’m not sure what to make of the Spencer and Dwyer visits. Now I have a lot of questions! Does the staff not imagine Cooper as a PG? Or Boyd? (Or Wynn for that matter?) Do they expect Wells to miss a significant chunk of the season? Are we going to have two PGs on the court at most times, and only going to see one post on the court at a time?

With this roster, Tess may be a sprained ankle away from playing post. On defense, that might not be a bad move for her.

I'm trying to figure out how they would spin it to all these players to get them to buy in. If they take all, there's only so much playing time to go around.

 

[volfan__18]

I feel like we definitely need some post depth. Kinda space there and we have tons of guards so far.

Yeah it def seems they don’t see a pg on the team imo bc these are all 1 year players.

Really don't either as neither one are players that are that effective at least to this point in their careers. I would again think they were backup choices as we haven't got a commit that is verfied totally for either Whitehorn or Kapinus.

We are still in on King apparently

I think people need to think of what type of guard these are. Like I said WH is more like a SF like Talaysia

 

[Volfan2012]

 

[Hooper22]

Plus a lot of these players she is recruiting via the portal will have multiple years left. I believe we will have 6 graduating (doing quick math so correct me if I am wrong), so having multi year players come in is huge to build this foundation as she looks to add recruits in the '25 class.

 

[37620VOL]

You still have to match up with their posts in half-court defensive situations.

Incoming post defenders are:
Alyssa Latham 6-2
Lazaria Spearman 6-4

Returning post defenders are:
Puckett 6-2
Jill 6-5

? Tess 6-1 ?

I'd rather have this player than either one of the point guards visiting. She was a really efficient player for UAB just got in the portal today. Last Day.
