No idea what ONO has done in her career to merit her inclusion on this list. There are many far more deserving players who should be here over her.

yeah, no way she should be there over many other more qualified players….

For anyone watching USC vs NCSU tonight, I wouldn’t expect either team to look good, not only because it’s the first game for both, but these two teams have a history of dog fights that are not pretty. It might be ugly bball, but it is a matchup of two top 5 teams and should be entertaining.
I don’t expect either team to pull away, likely a defensive type battle.

You can look good in a defensive dog fight by boxing out, running plays whether shots fall or not, hustle, etc. These are two top teams with good coaches naw you may not pull away but you can look good in a top 5 close dogfight

Can agree I've seen some ugly ball already from LSU and Iowa State playing some weak teams and having a tough time getting the offense going. LSU finally got it going against 304 ranked Nicholls while Iowa State won mainly on defense shooting in the 30's

Agreed. I’m expecting a slug fest and poor shooting like last season. Will be shocked if one team routes the other. I think it’ll be a close game that ends in the 60s

Triple double for Pointer today. Impressive, even if against Nichols

You know good and well what she did... She chose the right school. The same reason some WNBA team will draft her...

I have never seen anything from her that would equate to her ranking coming out of high school or her play at UConn. Players can always get better but their best inside player is still Edwards from the game I saw Sunday.

She was very good as was Gusters. I think Kim is going to be quite thrilled that the LSU seniors came back could possibly keep her in the first division of the SEC. I would say LSU has a solid 7 players then it falls off quickly. They will again be tough at home and lose several on the road. Probably a lot of low scoring games just like last season.

That’s about right. I think we will see Aifuwa and Shematsi off the bench for them mostly. Trasi will play some but she’s pretty hit or miss with her effort.

If Pointer and Kim are on the same page they are going to reek some havoc. Khayla is a talented player and if she’s bought in she’s going to have a lot of fun being Kim’s Pg this season. I really like Ware too but don’t think she’ll see a ton of time.

Ware reminds me of Aqua Franklin which is a bit of a throwback but they have similar skill set and build.

They have Payne looks like a good three point shooter and quick guard she is a starter so has to be one of their top five players. Payne, Cherry, and Khayla will be hard for some teams to defend all quick and good outside shooters. Their inside game want be as good as it was today but they are big bodies and should be solid.

i`m with you on Payne she can shoot the 3 and is quick so that is a bonus for the LSU offense.

Yeah if they are .500 or below she’s out. An example of an extremely talented player who just has not translated well as a coach. Doesn’t seem to be hitting the mark recruiting either.
