Yes they do.....im not really a fan of their starting lineup either idk if dawn want punch off the bench or what but she needs to tinker with the starting 5 maybe im wrong tho lol

She likely won't change it. There are players in the starting 5 who will need to produce at a high level when they are in the game or they will not get more than 20 minutes a game. And there are 3 players on the bench who will average around 25 minutes per game.

Arkansas is about to get their doors blown off all season. They have a mediocre mid-major roster. Got blown out by Fairfield yesterday.

IIRC, Dawn rolled with a strong bench last year, not necessarily the five strongest players started.

Charges against Ashlyn Watkins dismissed.

The timing is impeccable.

Good news for Sakerlina! How long until she gets back into game shape?

Was always going to be. Actually, this is later than the original arraignment date of October 25th.

No reason to be out of shape. I'm sure she's been in the gym the same amount she would've, just not w the team. Won't take long to get her right back in the mix.

I just hope, for Watkins and esp the victim's sake, leasons were learned.

Male athletes who have been dropped immediately after such an episode have a legit gripe.

If she were a man she’d have been under the jail already.

Thank you Judge Volball! I am sure you’ll be sharing the legal briefs on which you have based your opinion.

 

[xtpsrh08123]

My impression of So Carolina is that they really miss Watkins.

I just heard her charges were dismissed today if true does she return now?

There’s only one vaguely similar that comes to mind: AJ Johnson. But UT’s administration was weaker than grandpa’s stream.

Jurors: Former star UT linebacker A.J. Johnson and ex-teammate not guilty of rape

A Knox County jury found former University of Tennessee football players A.J. Johnson and Michael Williams not guilty of rape charges Friday evening.

That case only took four years to come to trial…

Up to Dawn I’m sure.

I would guess that ball is in Staley’s court. She knows more than will come out in public, guaranteed.

 

[Ladyvols4ever!]

For accuracy 's sake, the charges were dismissed Nov. 1st.

I’m guilty as charged, I think, Chuck. But I’m not a lawyer and I don’t understand the dates and deadlines stuff. I’m a bad source for details on this case, as I suspect everyone else is who is not involved personally.

Here's the ESPN article.

Charges against S. Carolina's Watkins dismissed

Assault and kidnapping charges against suspended South Carolina forward Ashlyn Watkins have been dismissed, according to online judicial records.

She had to plea out in order to get the charges dismissed.....
Court records show that Ashlyn Watkins completed pre-trial intervention, a program that allows first-time non-violent offenders to have charges dropped as long as they complete a number of requirements.

Indiana first game against Brown : Karoline Striplin shone in the third quarter, scoring 10 of her 17 points in just 13 minutes, with efficient shooting and perfect free-throw accuracy.

I would venture to say it’s the 33 losses over the last 3 seasons when expectations were high and talent level was perceived by some as much higher. Also first year coach and a ton of new players who haven’t won at a big clip before. We have to show it on the court and earn that respect with some wins against quality competition. I’m optimistic that will happen. The overall talent and athleticism is definitely there which I have not seen in a while. This team looks like it can do major damage against anyone if they clean up a few things and especially if hitting outside shots. I’m very hopeful but not claiming anything until later.
