Bull, I was SG and rebounding was my thing. Rebounding was Horston's thing. What did Coach Summitt say about rebounding?

I don't see a 10+/game rebounder on this team, so it will have to be a 5-position, team effort not to get killed on the boards.

Last year, Horston averaged 7.1 rebounds, Rickea averaged 6.1, and I think Rickea often deferred to Horston. So, I could see Rickea being a 10+ rebounder, unless she defers to another. Then again, maybe we have players who will defer to Rickea.

Agree that our rebounding needs to be a team effort.

Another counterpoint to the rebounding debate that has been overlooked is the potential improvement the current roster could make in limiting unforced turnovers. It plagued an otherwise potential of building a dynamic offense two years in a row.

An excellent and very valid point

Another thing is i think we have a team that could also create more turnovers .... if we press some more turnovers even with the loss of Jojo and jordy.

Any way we can equal out the possessions or gain a possession advantage is what we need to see. We were in way to many games at a possession deficit last season and that alone cost us three or four games. I look forward to us being way better both in not committing turnovers and forcing turnovers.

I’m very interested to hear about Kaiya and Karo and how they’re looking. Karo is an unsung hero in that LSU win and Kaiya showed flashes in the tourney of being something special

I think that whole class makes a big jump this season. I consider sophomores to still be babies and now they’re upper classmen

Darbys game isn't drive the lane

Horston wasn't a shooting guard

WNBA mock draft: Is Caitlin Clark the No. 1 pick if she declares?

We won't know which players will declare for the 2024 draft until April. And the lottery still needs to be held. But what might the first round look like?

Ugh, as a Dallas fan I would if they chose 5’2, low efficiency, attitude issue Hailey Van Lith. But then to pick her over Rickea? Could just imagine Hailey coming to Dallas and causing a stir with Arike. Arike would take her to the woodshed.

Any word on our potential scrimmage? I’m sure our girls are headed back now for school.

It’s gotta be more than what it has been.

The coaches have specifically called out kaiya's improvement and we already know Karo is rock solid.

It’s gotta be more than what it has been.

The main point of focus this off-season has been putting the ball on the floor more and being able to take a shot off the dribble. Kellie has been very transparent that it's the step she needs to take so we will see soon

Heard we played NC State

She does her role well. Shoot and make 3's Keeps her defender honest.

About our last year’s season and seeding.

The 12 nonconference games that will most impact the women's NCAA bracket in March

From Nov. 6 tipoffs to UConn-South Carolina on Feb. 11, these nonconference games will likely have the biggest influence on the 2023-24 season.

Anyone notice Spear is in a walking boot? Any word on this?

Saw that yesterday too.

Good God, here we go! I hope it’s not too bad.

Just read that our LVFL Tasha Butts lost her battle with breast cancer. Heartbroken and sending love to her family, friends, and all of the young ladies she's mentored and influenced.

Tasha Butts passed away today. Breast Cancer. God bless and rest in peace.

Wonder if Jewell played as someone said she was in a boot

 

[glv98]

So so sad about Tasha. Has it's own thread.

What is this insanity about Jewel and a boot? Where did we see such a hellish pic? In the pool playing video?

Twitter posters say the LVs secret scrimmaged NC State (and WON) during their retreat weekend. Could Jewel have gotten hurt there? Please let this not be true! Also, I need details of the scrimmage.

I'm going to practice this evening and get this s*&t cleared up.

And with a really heavy heart for Tasha.
