Maybe she is able to do these things but she didn't today. Westview is not a powerhouse and yet I didn't see her do more than what a 5'10 girl would do. Why wouldn't she take over the game since she was so much bigger than anyone else on the court? There is no way in the world that a team with 2 D1 signees (the twins) and a 6'4" post player who supposedly is good enough to make it in the SEC should let Westview even play close much less win. She only took 3 shots and wasn't even the leading rebounder on her own team.
The thing that bothers me about this young lady, and the other 3/4 stars we are recruiting, will this staff be able to coach Schubert up? I really do not see that happening with this staff. I feel that with proper coaching Russell would be a much better player. I feel that many of the errors Russell is making is due to lack of coaching. I have seen her play better ball in all star games. After the way they coached 7 5 stars, there are legitimate reasons for concerns.
I don't see any reason we shouldn't sign four if we can find good players.
How do you define "good?" Ionescu is the only decent player left in the class of 2016, and Tennessee is not listed as one of her final three. There are lots of warm bodies out there that have yet to commit. It is probably because the top programs have taken a pass on them. So if nobody wants them, would you still classify them as "good?" At this point in the season, I think Holly is just looking for anyone who can help the team practice five-on-five. With a short bench and the inevitable injuries that occur, she needs ten healthy bodies to practice when the team is on the road (NCAA regs prohibit male practice players from traveling with the team.)
Any specific names?
Jhanice Stokes Denmark Tech.
Kristina King Gulf Coast State
Quantesha Patterson East Mississippi
Lakyesha Stennis Southwest Tennessee
Nachalie Dejesus Miami Dade
I would have put Cheridine Green in there but she injured her ACL in last game of the season and will be out of action for a lengthy time. Her teammate Mary Cuevas is also a good player.
Several very good JC players that we could help the team. There are some that could beat out who we got now and they are rated five star players.
