2025 Recruiting

[Orange007]

i would give anything for us to stop talking about how short a new recruit is. how many short players have to eat our lunch from opposing teams for it to sink in that skill and quickness will usually be more valuable, especially in a system like ours? moving on...it's a tired subject, respectfully.

 

[Orange007]

Right? All that matters is how they play.

OMG at Florida State is tiny but it isn’t stopping her. Awesome PG for them. Latson isn’t huge either. She’s listed 5’8” but looks 5’7” and is crazy strong. One of the best scorers in the country.

exxxxactly. we have been the taller team for years. not meant anything at all. and sorry for the double post. not sure why that happened. lol

You have to play strong now matter the size. But you can definitely use both taller or shorter. Just be strong at your craft. GLV

I don't think the concern is that the shorter players will be no good. I think the thought is that some height from someone will be needed, they just can't ALL be small...a smattering of decidedly north of 6 foot in this league is helpful.

I'd say, in Kim's present system, a true Power Forward with a rebounding mentality and a proficient elbow jumper would be most beneficial

Dare I say it,,,an "Angel Reese",,,a double-double machine

I prefer the big freshman from Duke. Anybody git her number, we need to do a little back channeling.

I can be calling there tomorrow.

So a player that’s 30% on layups and 12% beyond 5 feet? No thanks.

I mean, obvs.

Pretty sure those saying we shouldn't worry about height were among those turning off the game early last night. Incredible we'd even be having this discussion today, of all days.

Yes,last night highlighted to me that big and bulky like Beers isn't the issue bc our speed negates that...long, lean, and mobile...was a problem.

Ky had height in post but none at 1-2-3 positions. Just flat out outplayed us. When Kim has equal athletic Dogs coming in off the bench watch out 5 in 5 off you will see a big difference in this team next year. In CHRIST Alone

*none at the 1-2 positions...their 3 (Hassett) is 6'3". Or if you're referring to Teonni Key as their 3, she's 6'4".

Not just tall, but also athletic.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Is there a chance of a portal addition or will the roster be full?

Two slots to fill minimum, more if someone portals away.

I'd love to get Okot out of Miss State
