Roster full now unless someone transfer out.

It’s full now for sure. And I for one am glad we are not looking at any more transfers, I want to watch the young players grow and develop and that requires PT, which is already tight.

Per 1 hour ago, Angel tweeted that she has not even chosen a school yet.

I kinda felt that...she seems so level-headed...favorite player on that team, after Henny... LVFL

Kierra Fletcher to SC. I really like the pick up.

Guess that means "World Exposure Basketball Report" or whatever was wrong. If Fletcher is going, I'm not sure they have the schollies available to take Reese/Owusu...unless someone else is planning on leaving.

Also, Annie Hayes has withdrawn her name from the WNBA draft.

 

[Rickster]

Also, Annie Hayes is no longer in the portal.

Actually she will probably be in the portal, she just withdrew her name from the WNBA draft.

MSST might actually have a chance to be halfway decent next season if Jessika Carter comes back in game shape.

Good point. I just assumed she would transfer again if she withdrew her name from the draft, but I guess she could actually stay with MSST since she already pretty much drove all the other players away except for her own sisters. LOL

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.....Angel Reese cannot shoot and she does unorthodox lay ups which seem to be very effective for MD. Her playing as a guard would only fit on a team like SC or Baylor where their Guards and Forwards are NOT shooters.

It's hilarious that she wants to be a guard given she's so obviously a forward.

I remember when Vicki Baugh, all 6'5" of her, was in high school and was like "I'm going to be playing wing in college" when she couldn't shoot from the perimeter and couldn't really handle the ball, either. And of course, she played post. Too many big players think if they can drive from the top of the key to the basket that makes them a guard lmao

Other than Myah Taylor, they still have their post-Jackson core plus Jessika Carter coming back. They won't be very deep, but they should be in the top half of the SEC.

I do think Kellie and Horston had to meet somewhere in the middle. Jordy was dead set on being a PG but she’s just not at this level. And definitely won’t be at the next. She’s a 3/4 player with great court vision. Kellie let’s her handle in late clock situations but puts her in a position to be much more successful otherwise.

Horston is a 2/3, not a 3/4.

Yeah, I remember that happening a lot. Everyone wanted to be Candace Parker, but none of them had her ball handling or perimeter shooting abilities. Probably only EDD and Stewart out of all of the 6'3+ "guard/wing" that can't score more than 8 feet from the basket.

I had a brain fart! I corrected it to cut down on confusion. Thanks!

Yep! A’ja Wilson, too

And even then Stewart will was never going to be a wing, let alone a guard. She, like Candace and Chamique, was always most dangerous at the 4, where their plethora of skills could best be on display.

OMG forgot about Aja acting like that was plausible, too.

Ah memories. When mobile, tall players with any sense of 'perimeter' skills thought they were going to be the next Candace Parker.

Myah Taylor is in the portal.

I'm sticking with this anyway. It has multiple meanings when used with Annie.

 

[Amb3096]

Myah Taylor is in the portal.

Yeah, I know. That's why I said "other than her" lol.

 

[And1]

Forgive the rest of us who don't live inside your head (thankfully). "Other than"...usually means "in addition to"...lol

Lol, yep. Also goes to show CP3's impact on the game. Truly a generational talent. A lot of players are being placed in the category, and it just doesn't sit right with me. Candace was/is IT! The blueprint.
