Her efficiency scoring average is better than HVL and Johnson for all the time any of them have played. She scores at a more efficient level than either one of them. She also has a higher eff percentage than either one of them. She can handle the ball as well as either one of them and she has more threes and a a higher percentage shooting the three than either one of them. So that is what I base it on not just making something up because someone is a volume shooter and has a couple points higher average. When they played head to head this season Sear scored 49 points in the two games and made 8 of 17 threes. Van Lith scored 34 points even though she shot the ball over ten times more.

Spear's ability to get to the free throw line is also elite. Her 28.9% FT rate is in the 96th percentile in the NCAA, better than anyone who played meaningful minutes on our team last year (Tamari was at 26.3%). She averaged 4.5 FT attempts per game, just below Rickea's 4.9. Just makes her all the more dangerous as a scorer who can hit 3s but also drive and draw contact.

She was always very slow though

That why she needs to lose weight. She has put on some

Not just elite getting there, but elite hitting them. As in 84%. Destinee Wells hit 86% last season. Tess Darby hit 81% Ole Rickea is the slacker of the group at 79%. Better pick it up young lady!

Seriously, that is an eye-popping ft shooting perimeter group. I'm going to venture to say the best the LVs have had in a long, long time.

Yep and when you shoot the 3 like Spear does that’s what happens. Players have to run at her so she can put the ball on the floor and draw a foul easily.

Especially when the other team is in the bonus. One good shot fake and one hard dribble and you’re at the line because that defender is going to smash right into you.

Muscle? She does look bigger, but not disporportionate. Maybe all she has been able to do is lift, so she has! She also looks taller btw.

And last season her free throw shot making was 83.9%.

"So far"

Need to keep looking for some inside help...a strong bench will be imperative next year...LVFL

 

[therickbol]

I'm not understanding your logic here, Darth. Aneesah Morrow was on a crappy Depaul team in a conference that's worse than the ACC. She had to put up big numbers because she was the only reliable option. How is Spear's situation any different? Both were focal points for opposing defenses.

Even Rickea was in a similar position at Miss State.

Please help me understand.

Looks like Sam's still looking. Depending on Key's status, I wish they wouldn't. Unless Key is not going to be able to play, if we add any more we are back in that awful rotation chaos KJH has struggled with. And someone, or two, who were anticipating sizable roles, are not going to end up getting mins at all. If they add a post, I hope she's young and willing to wait and watch, but capable of emergency duty.

 

[Volfan2012]

I will be happy with one more player giving us twelve. You need that many going into a season. I think the only need now is one more post player as we actually only have three unless you count Rickea in there. I don't think we should go over twelve as still enough minutes to let players get some time in the non competitive games as well a few minutes in every game.

I swear i want Phillipina Kyei lol perfect backup

I was thinking about Brooklyn Miles. Has she landed anywhere? I figured she would land in Kentucky assuming Kyra has an interest.

We have 12, counting Edie. Probably have 9 who will get mins.

Sure hope BK lands somewhere she can thrive. Would love to see her get to play in home state plus help poor Kyra.

Considering the possibility of injuries, having another post player would be good.

“You want to understand Darth “? Good luck with that ! . Even with FACTS .., it does not matter to He/She ! Did you read that there was a concern that vol fans would be disappointed with Spears …., What a joke. Darth worried that a vol fan might be disappointed

The best thing to do with all the NEGA VOLS…
Don’t comment on their posts ! Let them talk with themselves… they’re the only one’s listening anyway!

 

[Dak1219]

They still looking at that big post that I would like to have at Tennessee. I think she will be a big help to them. Sakima Walker. I think she can play in the SEC.

Samika Walker is Jordan Horston's high school teammate.

The whole SEC loading up

And she said what she said

LOL oh the imagined importance! I don't think the twitterverse is burning with criticism of Barnum. Actually don't think there's much talk at all about her or either program. Forgot she was in the portal.

MSU is one of those programs who seem to be treading portal water. Lost a few, got a few. Nothing noteworthy.

Big take. Can she and her team back up her mockingbird ass…

Yea,because I don’t remember or knew anyone bad mouthing her so I was wondering who she was referring to

Perceived slights are very in vogue. Ask Dawn, Kim, and Angel. They live off of them. But lol at least someone has heard of them to potentially slight them. Barnum? Not so much.

Thank you. Well said.

I agree...Key, Hollinshead, and Striplin are fine, but if someone goes down [recent history] we will be in big trouble...Rickea and Sara are small forwards at best...we need another 4th post/power forward...LSU and SC are rostering 4+...LVFL
