If Spearman has a great season and moves up dramatically in the WNBA draft...

[BruisedOrange]

The question I'm getting at is:
1) if her play generates attention to what our program can do for bigs who have the potential to ball out in our system, and
2) we become a portal destination-of-choice for bigs who can do those things...

is there an upside in women's basketball today for portal bigs over bigs recruited out of high school?

HAHA! Yes, I definitely had planes on my mind when I posted!

I'd just been making plans to take my airplane-loving "nephew" to the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma. Sheesh!

So now that the title's corrected and I've got my plane brain back in the hanger...

Anyone care to weigh in on the question? I don't know enough about today's women's game to have an opinion.

If CKC clears her for take-off, I think Spearman could really soar to new heights.

But, will she encounter unexpected turbulence as the season goes on and how will she navigate it? If she plays some games on autopilot, that could also lead her off course.

VFR only.

I hope she has continued working on her agility. If so, she will be surprisingly good. Maybe in the running for 1st team SEC.

Bigs that are agile and have touch around the basket will be in demand for Kims system. Being able to shoot reliably from 15 feet in will also be treasured. I saw plenty of flashes from Zee last season especially the last half. She just didn't have enough help.

I think the scout on Z could go 2 ways.

1. She's a tweener that doesn't shoot well enough outside and isn't effective posting up against elite opponents.

2. Or, as my gut says, she is a good enough 3 point shooter that she creates a mismatch nightmare for defenses on the offensive end. And she is truly a 5 position plus defender, guarding anyone on the floor. Plus she rebounds at a high level, runs the floor, and affects the passing lanes.
