The Pauldo twins and their nationally ranked team Morris Catholic has beaten every top HS recruit they’ve faced out of the NJ area in the last two years.
That includes Blakes at Vandy and Miller at Rutgers.
The twins also have beaten Top 20 guards in the SEC - ACC currently at South Carolina and NC State among others.
Then you have Deniya Prawl who plays for IMG Academy who is a special player. Jaida Civil who is a special player.
No teams next season with this incoming freshman class and the returnees will won’t to face Tennessee.

We’re still gonna have work to do in the portal. I’m excited for the freshman class but freshman are freshman. There will be a curve for some of them.

We really need to find a quality post player with imposing size who can get up and down. Another very athletic forward who will rebound would be great too. We need a center and a player like Morrow or Pierre with a motor on the glass.

Latham could be that player but we haven’t seen any of that from her this season. I really thought she would be a better rebounder for us.

You are beating a dead horse. The head coach has said they will complete the roster via the portal.
You tell me how can a player averaging 13.5 minutes per game could average more than the nearly 4 rebounds per game than Latham is averaging?
If Latham played more minutes she would produce.
No post player is featured in this system. So what you probably should realize is no matter what post comes from the portal they aren’t going to build this team or play through the paint.

Why are you so prickly? Just making conversation. Get a grip.

We need defense and rebounding in the post. Playing through the post isn’t a priority.

Would Latham get more minutes if her play was more efficient ?

A good talk about fouling as we did commit 22 fouls to texas 10. We also have lost a couple of games to foul shooting. I know there are more things to fix, but less fouling and better free throw shooting and getting to the line seem to be a couple things we should get rather easy. Defense we don't have a clue how to close the gaps and players are driving a straight line to the basket on us. A ways to go just keep getting better.

Although sometimes I think you forget that you’re just a poster on this forum as well, let’s keep this discussion rolling!

Well here’s the point.
Latham plays about four minutes less than Puckett and averages the same amount of rebounds.
Latham plays about five or six minutes less than Spearman and averages about two less rebounds.
To me, this suggests if you played both Latham and Spearman together for about five minutes more a game instead of subbing one for the other it’ll improve the teams rebounding and defense. Also the liability is playing a four guard lineup with Spearman, Puckett, or Hollingshead in the post. Get away from that philosophy and the rebounding and defense would improve.

You need some help. If you get this upset about opposing point of views.
Going to the extreme on a message forum is really a character flaw.
Every point I’ve made is clearly presented. If you can’t present a clearly stated opinion that’s your fault.

0% upset. We don’t even have an opposing view, you just lack reading comprehension and stay pressed.

I’m telling you now as far as reading comprehension you don’t have the capacity to even speak to my ability.
Keep it to using a message board and that’s all you have to say.
You still have yet to answer a basic question.
Keep that in mind.
