She wasn't competing against 4 other players for shots (and attention) at DePaul. I don't believe in addition by subtraction. The whole concept is asinine. I do believe that LSU will have better chemistry and results with Morrow, Williams and Johnson taking a larger part of their offense...

That "Fox and the grapes" thing again. It works with players and coaches.

And not a knock at Kim. They got the best coach that they could realistically get. Realistically.

Just read this thread today. The "those grapes were sour anyway" mentality, especially with regard to Lawson, is amusing. She was never going to take the job for a variety of reasons. Duke, with tougher entrance requirements, is on way more of an upswing than the Lady Vols. They've got 5 of...

Women's college preseason rankings are a bit like college football and basketball preseason rankings used to be during the 1970's. Whomever had the most starters and returning lettermen were ranked highest. It's a lot more layered than that. I also believe ND is the squad whose talent exceeds...

If you've ever scrolled the UConn board you'll realize that no prospect actually ever turns them down. It's always the other way around. With rare exceptions. A'Ja Wilson, A. Boston, Haley Jones. Too late for "those grapes were sour anyway" routine. Especially Boston. And of course the Texas...

It rarely works like that. Sometimes players are more effective as reserves. And their flaws become more impactful with more playing time. Having to keep out of foul trouble will be a test. No Boston on the bench.

Nothing wrong with NIL if schools followed the letter and spirit. Unfortunately the schools that were paying players decades before the term was ever coined combined it with the transfer portal (bigger culprit) to make it even more lethal. But the tide is turning a bit. No tax haven says the...

This is a perfect example of why you have to watch what these kids do and not put 100% faith in what they or the "insiders" for your school say. He had visited ND at this point. Look at what non-Vol sources are reporting. It can be telling.

ND insider (homer) Tom Loy's much mocked July 31st CB (I hate those things) was the canary in the coal mine.

These threads are fascinating. From the "I prefer so and so". To the "he wants to be a Vol" and finally the sour grapes routine as the Vols main targets are going to ND and Clemson. The fascinating thing (to me) is that anyone checking out the ND YouTube sites with regard to Deuce would have...

That's epidemic all over college sports now whenever players decide to go somewhere else. It's a factor, I think, when kids with plenty of playing time and recognition jump in the portal. I think its gossamer with every high profile recruit in multiple sports at USC (the California one). But WBB...

No idea if the portal rankings are "way off" or not. But the rankings of a lot of high school recruits in WBB, especially big's, are often bad. People seem to latch on to Lauren Betts (don't mean to pick on her) designation by ESPN as the #1 ranked recruit in 2022 like these rankings are...

High school all-star games are going to be dominated by guards. Breanna Stewart was an exception in her Mickey D game because she could step out. There was actually a lot of intensity, and frankly, what looked like some budding rivalries forged in the camps, AAU circuit etc. KK Arnold and Hannah...

The transfer portal is fine if you're targeting a few specific players to shore up positions AND they come for the correct reasons. I'm not a believer in "addition by subtraction" but I can't help but notice that despite the doom and gloom brought on by the departures of Angel Reese and Owusu...
